3. 1 Early Reflections Reflected sounds reach our ears extremely rapidly 50 ms 100 ms after the direct sound after reflecting from one surface only for example from the ceiling or a wall These reflections fall into specific patterns as shown in the diagram on page 35 for any particular environment and provide vital information to our ears Early reflections actually add clarity to the direct sound 2 Reverberations These are caused by reflections from more than one surface walls ceiling the back of the room so numerous that they merge together to form a continuous sonic afterglow They are non directional and lessen the clarity of the direct sound Direct sound early reflections and subsequent reverberation taken together help us to determine the subjective size and shape of the room and it is this information that the DSP system reproduces in order to create sound fields If you could create the appropriate early reflections and subsequent reverberations in your listening room you would be able to create your own listening environment The acoustics in your room could be changed to those of a concert hall a dance floor or virtually any size room at all This ability to create sound fields at will is exactly what Yamaha has done with the DSP system DSP programs consist of some parameters to determine apparent room size reverberation time distance from you to the performer etc In each program those paramet
