Audio Video Term

Reverberation

Reverberation is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Reverberation is the persistence of sound in a room after the original sound stops, caused by repeated reflections.

Example of Reverberation

A theater can use acoustic panels at reflection points and bass traps in corners to improve dialogue clarity and low-frequency control. In that kind of Davis room acoustics project, the term Reverberation would describe the persistence of sound in a room after the original sound stops, caused by repeated reflections. Davis would use that understanding to account for panel placement, bass control, reflection points, speaker calibration, and room finish coordination, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
