Reverb & EQ and "damping" etc .. please explain ..
Hello,
Excuse my rather rudimentary question but could anyone please explain, in layman's terms, the idea behind having EQ and something called "damping" on some reverb gear ? Thanks a lot, Daniel |

Thanks a lot, Daniel damping is where the high or low frequencies are reduced over time. Certain materials absorb different frequencies differently, so it means you can replicate say a carpeted room by more damping than say a stone chamber. Someone else will explain it much better than me I hope! |

Both are an expression of how an actual acoustic space affects
reverberation. I would think that in most units, an Eq parameter determines the frequency response of all material, including early reflections. This approximates the overall character of the acoustic space. Dampening is more an expression of the 'liveness' of the space, or how quickly higher frequencies decay / dissipate in relation to the energy in the lower frequencies. It can be achieved by using a low pass filter which is progressively applied to successive reflections. These days the inner workings (algorithms) are quite sophisticated but in earlier units, this LPF was simply inserted into the feedback path from the multiple tap outputs (which are fedback to input for regeneration).
