Speaker Delay Calculator

Formula

To calculate the speaker delay:

$D = \frac{X}{S} \times 1000$

Where:

$D$ is the delay (ms)
$X$ is the distance from the source (ft)
$S$ is the speed of sound (ft/s)

What is Speaker Delay?

Speaker delay is a measure of the total time it takes sound to travel from a speaker to a certain location. This calculation helps determine the time it takes for the sound from the speaker to reach the listener based on the distance from the sound source and the speed of sound.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Distance from Source ( $X$ ) = 50 ft
Speed of Sound ( $S$ ) = 1126 ft/s

Using the formula:

$D = \frac{50}{1126} \times 1000 \approx 44.42 \, \text{ms}$

The Speaker Delay is approximately 44.42 ms.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Distance from Source ( $X$ ) = 100 ft
Speed of Sound ( $S$ ) = 1126 ft/s

Using the formula:

$D = \frac{100}{1126} \times 1000 \approx 88.85 \, \text{ms}$

The Speaker Delay is approximately 88.85 ms.
