Does the FBQ2496 add a delay…?

[Andysu]

…to the sub bass performance? I read somewhere that it adds a 1 feet delay. I’d like to clarify this, as there no mention of this in the users manual about a delay.

Thanks

Yes, it adds ~1 msec DSP processing delay, and so would account for about a foot in distance. If you add a foot to the distance you tell your receiver that your sub is away from your ears, it will compensate.

Gotcha thanks bruek. I’ll just have to rework the mathematical side of it now.

Does this action only happen when filters are applied to FBQ2496 as well as Q and so on? Does the unit bypass the delay when (bypass mode)?

[brucek]

The BFD doesn't, but the FBQ may if it has a true bypass. Wouldn't make much sense to use an equalizer in bypass, so I guess it's a moot point.....

Morning brucek very late here at the moment!

Well thank you, for the information anyways I’ll experiment.
