2.9. Delay
In a sound system that includes multiple speaker units, it may appear to a listener that the voice of
the person talking is originating from a nearby speaker unit, rather than from the actual person. In
such cases, you can correct the perceived localization by delaying the audio of the nearby speaker unit
in proportion to the distance between the speaker unit near the person who is talking and the speaker
unit that is far from that person.
If sound from different speaker units is mutually interfering, adding a slight delay to one of the audio
signals will shift the interfering frequencies, lessening the unnatural sensation.
When placing this in the design sheet, select either Mono, Stereo or Multi. The illustrations used in the
following explanation are for the case of Stereo.
