reflected off from walls,
floor and
ceilling. The reflected sound reaches our ears
slightly
later than
the direcl
sound. The
delay time is the time
difference between the direct sound and the reflected sound. The optimum delay
time
will
be different according ro
the room size and the acoustic
properties.
It is recommended that
you
try different
times to obtain the best effecr.
