Haas effect  --  An effect concerned with the apparent location of the source when the same sound is heard from two or more sources (as in a public address system). Within certain limits of the relative intensities of the separate sounds, and of the time intervals between their arrivals, the sound appears to come from a single source, namely that from which the sounds first arrive, even though the later sounds are more intense.
