Synopsis of Reverberation Enhancement Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today there is an emerging tendency – from aesthetical and economical concerns – to create/refurbish venues for a wide variety of performance types, each demanding a specific acoustic. For these multi-purpose halls, electro-acoustic enhancement systems represent the most promising approach, allowing high quality results with the greatest flexibility. This paper reviews the principles of the main categories of reverberation enhancement systems that have been designed and commercialized in recent decades. General and specific constraints of these categories of systems are presented with a set of evaluation criteria and guidelines for selecting a system for use in a given hall and performance context.

A Time-variant Reverberation Algorithm for Reverberation Enhancement Systems
This paper presents a new time-variant reverberation algorithm that can be used in reverberation enhancement systems. In these systems, acoustical feedback is always present and time variance can be used to obtain more gain before instability (GBI). The presented time-variant reverberation algorithm is analyzed and results of a practical GBI test are presented. The proposed reverberation algori...
متن کاملEcho-to-reverberation Enhancement Using a Time Reversal Mirror
Reverberation from rough ocean boundaries often degrades the performance of active sonar systems in the ocean. The focusing capability of the time-reversal method provides a new approach to this problem. A time reversal mirror (TRM) focuses acoustic energy on a target enhancing the target echo while shadowing the boundaries below and above the focus in a waveguide, thereby reducing reverberatio...
متن کاملThe Ntu - Adsc Systems for Reverberation Challenge 2014
This paper describes our speech enhancement and recognition systems developed for the Reverberation Challenge 2014. To enhance the noisy and reverberant speech for human listening, besides using conventional methods such as delay and sum beamformer and late reverberation reduction by spectral subtraction, we also studied a novel learning-based speech enhancement. Specifically, we train deep neu...

متن کاملA one-microphone algorithm for reverberant speech enhancement
We present an algorithm for reverberant speech enhancement using one microphone. We first propose a novel pitch-based reverberation measure for estimating reverberation time (RT60) based on the distribution of relative time lags. This measure of pitch strength correlates with reverberation and decreases systematically as detrimental effects of reverberation on harmonic structure increase. Then ...
