Measuring Time Delay in an Audio System Using Electroacoustics Toolbox Although Electroacoustics Toolbox is not limited to measuring audio systems, the measurement of audio systems is a common use that offers convenient ways to demonstrate the capabilities of the software. These examples can then be applied to other applications in which the Toolbox’s measurement capabilities may be considered useful. At times it is desirable to measure the delay of a signal through some component, or group of components, in an audio system. For example, when a digital signal processor (DSP) is employed in an audio system, to optimize or otherwise alter the listening experience, it may be desirable to measure the delay introduced by the DSP’s algorithms in the audio […]
