Music 175: Time and Space
The principle cues for judging distance
Global reverberation returns equally from all directions around the listener Local reverberation comes from the same direction as the direct signal and derives from reflectors relatively near the source.
When the sound is located close to the listener, most of the reverberation is global.
When the sound is located at a greater distance from the listener, most of the reverbertation is local.
