Re: Check Levels, System Delay


Hi Mike,

Check levels in the measurement panel warns if the input level exceeds -12dB FS, to make sure there is some headroom for the effects of room resonances. What level was the warning showing?

The delay measurement includes any delays within the processor, so if the processor is applying a delay (to account for another speaker that is further away) or if there is processing delay for the input you are using this will be added to the actual distance. What distance was reported for the other front speaker? It is also important to use a sufficiently wide sweep for that measurement, e.g. to 5kHz or more.
