the kitty,
let me try to get all these punctuation marks covered......the plate 'chamber' was just that...yes there was a plate installed in it..the chamber was built to cause reflections inside the chamber and would affect the reverbration of the plate...dont ask me how ...i'm not a scientist though i play one on tv.....the arena is round and yes the speakers were all over the place in the round...the delays were timed and phased to allow no delay in the room...the ONLY reverb and or effects that were heard were those artificially produced at the console.....they had music shows, basketball gmes(college), and revivals...ala oral roberts...they used the effects specifically during the revivals...it was truly an art to watch them affect the crowd with delays and such at particular intense moments....,,i dont remember how they pumped signal back into the plate room but i'm sure they did....this was not a room that was just a simple box...it had curved walls and the ceiling was different heights and it was larger at one end and smaller at the other..and in the center was the plate...about 15 feet long if my memory serves...but hey its been a long time since then....it just always stuck with me about how cool a set-up they had at a religious college....
