What is Reverberation?
Technically it is the time taken for noise to stop
after the noise source has ceased, measured in milliseconds
With a relatively dead room (a room with a short
reverberation time) the noise (words) created by the spoken sentence become
inaudible relatively quickly, allowing the response to be heard and a further
question asked, with relatively ease.
However in a live room (a room with a
higher reverberation time) this becomes a much more difficult task to
carry out. The sound of the previous word over laps the sound of the next word
and the sound of the first sentence over laps the sounds within the second
sentence and so on and so forth. This means the examples from above would sound
more like. (Where capital words express more clearly heard word)
- WHAT on earth is REVERBERATION TIME?
- How do I TREAT it?
- The time for NOISE to Stop……
- Do you get the idea.
It is
like having a conversation in a round, like when you sang nursery songs as a
child.
However high reverberation time isn’t always a bad
thing, if you are Gregorian monk or in a vocal group, a longer reverberation
time is desired as it produces a more appealing and warm sound.
This provides a
much desired atmosphere to listen or to record in.
Producing music in a dead
room for this type of activity would really take away from the atmosphere and
kill the mood and ambiance trying to be achieved, as the notes world die very
quickly and make the sound appear very flat.
These were only some of the Points we pondered and gave a brief summary of making something plain or intelligible about reverberation.
Reverberation is a elaborated, detailed subject which needs much lucidity and clearness.
