PrestonTom Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Guys, I came in late on this one. The calcualtions are probably okay. But I sincerely hope none of you are worried about the audibility of a 1 (or 1.5) degree phase shift (esp up at at 20kHz). -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriven Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Tom, That was my point. I was hoping to show that an extra 100' of wire would not make enough of a phase shift to be audible. I can see why someone might think that the wire length to each speaker should be the same based on an intuitive desire for symmetry between the channels, but when you run the numbers that idea just falls apart. It ignores the extreme difference between the speed of electricity and the speed of sound. The upshot is, cut the cables to the proper length and then you don't have to worry about coiling up extra wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about agreeable as it gets here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
