Preston,

Glad you're playing along at home.  Try a 100 Hz low pass instead. ;)  Measure the time arrival of that and a full range signal. (Impluse Response) That's where it started. 

PT

Wow,
Missed that one I thought your previous post was HPF not LPF.
Silly me :)

XTA224
SoundDevices USB Pre
MBP(Boot in 32bit)
V7.3.0.2
Averaging:16
Phase Smoothing: None
Mag Smoothing: None
Weighting: None
FFT: 16k

Here is the example in Transfer mode:
Delay times ranged from 6.60ms to 7.65ms
The trace below is @7.21ms

Folks, We have reached our cruising altitude now, so I'm going to switch the seatbelt sign off. Feel free to move about as you wish, but please stay inside the plane till we land… It's a bit cold outside, and if you walk on the wing it affects the flight pattern.

The point being that the same DSP exhibited different latency as measured by the Impulse Response of Smaart.
The full range signal showed a latency of 2.2 mSec, the low passed signal showed a latency of 7+ mSec.

How can that be?


...and so it all began...

I use "auto delay" in ST class and sweep a low pass filter to demonstrate the effect.  It tends to get the uninitiated thinking in a different direction.

So are you going to leave us guessing?

At 100hz my sabine navigator goes to 3.05 ms from 1.50 ms for the full range signal using the delay finder. It is a difference of 1.1 ms using the IR.

My best guess is that it is a function of the wavelength and the fact that the longer wavelengths vibrate slower.

It's probably just a phase he's going through.
