Group Delay in Audio
Group delay has some importance in the audio field and especially in the sound reproduction field. Many components of an audio reproduction chain, notably loudspeakers and multiway loudspeaker crossover networks, introduce group delay in the audio signal. It is therefore important to know the threshold of audibility of group delay with respect to frequency, especially if the audio chain is supposed to provide high fidelity reproduction. The best thresholds of audibility table has been provided by Blauert & Laws (1978).
| Frequency | Threshold |
|---|---|
| 500 Hz | 3.2 ms |
| 1 kHz | 2 ms |
| 2 kHz | 1 ms |
| 4 kHz | 1.5 ms |
| 8 kHz | 2 ms |

Famous quotes containing the words group and/or delay:
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.”
—St. Augustine (354–430)
