The Delay Page
The ideal position for listening to a stereo system is dead center between the two speakers forming a
equilateral triangle. That way the sounds from each speaker will arrive to you at the proper time to give
you a good and accurate impression of the width and depth of the sound stage and each instrument’s
place in it. In a car it is virtually impossible to be in the center of the listening area. Some speakers may
be in the dash and some in the door, and the woofers in the back. Your position? Your sitting completely
at one side of the car.
Signal delay corrects for these positioning problems by delaying the arrival time of the near sounds, so
they arrive at the same time as the far sounds. The result is that it sounds like you are dead center as all
the speakers sound to be the same distance from you.
