Variable Reverberation in the CIRMMT Multimedia Room of McGill University in Montreal

This video was recorded in the Multimedia Room of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) centred at the Schulich School of Music of McGill University in Montreal, in October 2023. The 70-loudspeaker active enhancement system (Meyer Constellation) in the space can be used to extend the room reverberation or create other types of virtual reflections. The room also has variable sound absorptive treatment in the walls which can be let down to increase the absorptive surface area or pulled up to reduce sound absorption. The video shows an example with a long reverberation time (absorber area reduced and RT artificially extended with the interactive audio system) and then with a short reverberation time (absorber area increased and the audio system is turned off).
