I think you missed my point. In room X you only have so many things you can do with the reverb. Period. With an active sound system like the one in the article you would have new options that would be physically impossible otherwise.
There's no reflective/absorptive setup that will make a room with a 10ft ceiling sound like it has a 20ft ceiling. With enough microphones, speakers and computing power you could do exactly that - you could effectively change the sonic shape of the room. If it works...
- dredmorbius 12y agoLook at concert-hall acoustics. Total reverb isn't the only factor at play. You want to balance reflection and absorption. You also need to account for the difference in sound between an empty house and one that's filled. Even the thermal properties of parking a bunch of 100W thermal units along the floor, radiating heat upward (we call those "audience members"). Some reflection of the sound you do want to amplify, along with damping that you don't, and accounting for different reflections, comes into play.
