Arrangement of Surround speakers
@ Rear speakers
can be placed with various arrangements
according to the listening room size and its reverberation
characteristics. The example shown
in the illustration is a
typical example among several arrangements which allow
efficient enjoyment of Surround
effects. In addition te it,
other arrangements
are also possible.

Delay time
As shown
in the example
of illustration, the sound
of piano
played on the stage attains the ears of listener as a synthesis of
the direct sound from piano, the indirect sounds which are
reflected once or twice by the reflectors, ceiling and side and
back walls, and the reverberation sounds which repeat infinite
reflections until they fade out completely.
The
indirect
sounds
always
pass
through
longer
routes
compared to the direct sound. The delay between the direct and
indirect sounds is called the DELAY TIME, and the level of the
indirect or reverberated sounds is called the PRESENCE LEVEL.
The
indirect
sounds
accompanied
with
delay
play
a
very
important role in providing better sound effects and the feeling
of presence of concert halis, etc. The acoustic field also varies
depending on the speaker arrangement. It is recommended to
try various
delay time setting to obtain the best sound
field
possible.
