Attributes of Acoustic Spaces

Volume of the room

The perception of a narrow or large space is related to the arrival time of the first reflections (early). In a small space, the first reflections will be perceived shortly after the direct wave from the source. In a large enclosed space, the first reflections will arrive later, delaying also the appearance of the other reflections (cluster and reverberation)

In Spat 5, these examples were made by varying the "Room Size" parameter.
