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:
“The poet who speaks out of the deepest instincts of man will be heard. The poet who creates a myth beyond the power of man to realize is gagged at the peril of the group that binds him. He is the true revolutionary: he builds a new world.”
—Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)
“I warn you, avoid this evil, and let his own care delay each, and let him not change the spot of his accustomed love.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
