  • Page 18 Conditions: Farthest speaker - listening position: 2.25m (88-9/16") Left front speaker - listening position: 0.5m (19-11/16") Calculation: L = 2.25m-0.5m = 1.75m (68-7/8") Time correction = 1.75 + 343 * X 1000 = 5.1 (ms) * Sound speed: 20°. 343m / S (765mph) In other words, setting the time correction value of the left front speaker to 5.1ms can make the distance between the left front speaker and the listener be the same as that between the listener and the farthest speaker.
  • Page 19 Example 2: All seats Adjust the time correction level of each loudspeaker to almost the same. Sit in the listening position (driving position, etc.) and measure the distance (m) between the head and each speaker. Calculate the distance correction difference between the farthest speaker and other speakers. L = (distance from farthest speaker) - (distance from other speakers) These values are time corrected values for different loudspeakers.
