Chamber

The echo chamber was the original high-end reverberator. It was a small-to medium-sized space

with highly reﬂective and irregularly-shaped walls. Inside this space would be a microphone

or two and a speaker or two. The input signal was sent to the speakers and picked up by the

microphones. With careful design and setup, a highly satisfying reverb could be generated.

There are still a number of ﬁrst-rate echo chambers in operation around the world.

The principal characteristics of the chamber algorithm include a rapid high density and

avoidance of noticeable wall slaps. This complex miniature-space effect resembles an echo

chamber at its smaller settings and, at its larger ones, a small performance space with a more

rapid build-up of reﬂection density than a hall. Reverberant tails are randomized.
