DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

REV. TIME (Reverberation time)

Function:

This parameter adjusts the amount of time it takes for the dense, subsequent reverberation sound to

 

decay by 60 dB (at 1 kHz). This changes the apparent size of the acoustic environment over an

 

extremely wide range.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Description:

Set a longer reverberation time for “dead” sources and listening room environments, and a shorter time

 

for “live” sources and listening room environments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Control range:

1.0 to 5.0 sec

REV. DELAY (Reverberation delay)

Function:

This parameter adjusts the time difference between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning

 

of the reverberation sound.

Description:

The larger the value, the later the reverberation sound begins. A later reverberation sound makes you

 

feel like you are in a larger acoustic environment.

Control range:

0 to 250 msec

Function:

This parameter adjusts the volume of the reverberation sound.

The larger the value, the stronger the reverberation becomes.
