Usage notes
- The simplex chiefly refers to an echo that is clipped or overlays with the original sound, as is often found in big rooms or caves. An echo that repeats the full sound after the original sound has ceased, as can be produced in mountains, will usually be specified as Widerhall, or more commonly Echo.
