AB  - Reverberation enhancement systems allow the active control of the acoustic environment. They are subject to instability issues due to acoustic feedback, and are often installed permanently in large halls, sometimes at great cost. In this paper, we explore the possibility of implementing a cost-effective reverberation enhancement system to control the acoustics of typical rooms using a combination of spatial filtering, automatic calibration, adaptive notch filters, howling detection and manual adjustments. The effectiveness of the system is then tested inside a small soundproof booth.
