Hall
The highly acclaimed Lexicon
®
Hall, Concert Hall, and Random Hall reverb algorithms have
regularly been used by live sound and recording engineers because of their exceptional ability
to reproduce the musical ambience of large, wide, panoramically wonderful spaces.
A hall is the principal venue for classical ensembles, but has proven to be useful for all types
of music. A hall is comparatively large, with wall-to-wall distances that are typically several
tens of meters. Smaller halls may be used for smaller ensembles. The characteristic sound
of a hall includes very low initial reflection density, with little reflection energy before 60-
100 milliseconds. Density buildup is more gradual, because of the larger distances between
reflecting surfaces. Reverberation time is somewhat longer as well. Finally, in most halls lower
frequencies reverberate longer than higher frequencies.
This new hall algorithm shares these basic characteristics with Random Hall and Concert Hall,
but is smoother with a more even decay. Its initial density is also lower than Random Hall so it
may be a better choice when the reverberation needs to be unobtrusive.
