Reverberation: The result of the many reflections of a sound which can occur in a given enclosed space. A sound reflected from a surface reaches our ears later than a direct sound. Some surfaces (e.g soft materials or an audience!) will absorb some of the sound energy and the reflected sound is generally weaker. Because each delayed sound wave arrives within a short period of time and there are many different kinds of reflections, we do not perceive them as copies of the direct sound. This distinguishes reverberation from delay. Reverb allows us to simulate various acoustic conditions. |
