# Class: AudioReverb

> Reverberates audio streams.

## Description

[AudioReverb](/docs/reference/engine/classes/AudioReverb.md) reverberates audio streams, modeling the natural echoes of
a room or enclosed space. It provides one **Input** pin and one **Output** pin
which can be connected to/from by [Wires](/docs/reference/engine/classes/Wire.md).
