Re: Sub sounds deayed?


I think I'm thinking the same thing Bruce is. Your sub is much closer to you than your mains/surrounds, not further away as you have it set. If the timing is correct, the frequency difference between distances should be a result of comb filtering. Delaying the sub that much gives the overlap signal produced by the mains time to decay before the sub plays it, giving you a measurably flatter frequency response. I say start with correct distances and work from there.

I have an antique processor, no sub delay. My sub is about 7' from the main listening seat, right beneath the right rear surround. Mains are about 13-14' away to the front. I don't notice any delayed bass with music or movies.
