An electronic sound enhancing system for improving the symphonic criteria of sound emanating from a performing shell is provided. Microphones are disposed in the performing shell for receiving sound emanating therefrom and converting same to an audio signal. Reverberant field loudspeakers are positioned with respect to the performing shell to produce low frequency reverberant field sound. Forestage loudspeakers are disposed proximate the shell for emitting sound representative of the early first reflections of the sound emanating from the performing shell. Time delay circuitry disposed intermediate the microphones and the reverberant field loudspeakers and forestage loudspeakers respectively apply the audio signal to the reverberant field loudspeakers delayed by a first predetermined interval of time and to the forestage loudspeakers delayed by a second predetermined interval of time.
An electronic sound enhancing system for use in improving the symphonic criteria of sound emanating from a performing shell comprising in combination microphone means for receiving sound emanating from said performing shell and converting same to an audio signal, time delay means coupled to said microphone means for receiving said audio signal and respectively producing an audio signal delayed by a first time interval and an audio signal delayed by a second time interval, low pass filter means coupled to said time delay means for receiving said audio signal delayed by a first time interval and producing a narrow range audio signal, reverberant field loudspeaker means positioned with respect to said performing shell for receiving said narrow range audio signals delayed by a first time interval to thereby produce narrow range reverberant field sound, and forestage canopy loudspeaker means disposed proximate to said performing shell for simulating a forestage canopy panel by emitting sounds representative of early first reflections of said sound emanating from said performing shell in response to said audio signal delayed by a second time interval being applied thereto.
