Abstract

The two systems ‘Assisted Resonance’ (AR) and ‘Multi-Channel Reverberation’ (MCR) are compared using supplementary criteria to the classical reverberation time, T 60 . The AR system is effective at lengthening low frequency reverberation although, owing to the very narrow bandwidth of each channel, it does not increase the early decay time. The MCR system, in which each channel covers a broad frequency range, may be designed to increase the energy in all time intervals of a room's response. However, owing to the risk of uncontrolled feedback the influence on this response is rather limited. Furthermore, variations of the total power loop gain with frequency result in reverberation times fluctuating with frequency. Overall, the AR and MCR systems appear to complement each other: AR giving optimal results at low frequencies (below 150 Hz) and MCR at medium and high frequencies (above 250 Hz).
