Wideband assisted reverberation system
First Claim
1. A wideband non-in-line assisted reverberation system, including:
- multiple microphones positioned to pick up reverberant sound in a room,multiple loudspeakers to broadcast sound into the room, anda reverberation matrix connecting a similar bandwidth signal from each microphone through a reverberator, having an impulse response consisting of a number of echoes, the density of which increases over time, to a loudspeaker to thereby increase the apparent room volume.

Abstract
A wideband assisted reverberation system has multiple microphones (M1-M3) to pick up reverberant sound in a room, multiple loudspeakers (L1-L3) to broadcast sound into the room, and a reverberation matrix connecting a similar bandwidth signal from the microphones (m) through reverberators to the loudspeakers (L). Preferably the reverberation matrix connects each microphone (m) through one or more reverberators to at least two loudspeakers (L) with cross-linking so that each loudspeaker (L) receives a signal comprising a sum of at least two reverberated microphone signals. Most preferably there is full cross-linking so that every microphone (m) through reverberators to every loudspeaker (L), so that each loudspeaker (L) receives a signal comprising a sum of reverberated microphone signals from every microphone (m).
