Time align speakers
The majority of loudspeakers consist of multiple drivers to cover as much of the audio spectrum as possible. For example, a 2-way bookshelf speaker will have a tweeter for the treble and a midwoofer for the midrange and bass. With both of them are mounted onto the front panel, the acoustic centers of the two drivers are not on the same vertical plane. This difference in arrival time results in destructive interference along the crossover region. The ideal situation is for the two sounds to arrive at the same time.

Since my ears would be significantly closer to the tweeters mounted higher on the door than the woofers at the bottom of the door - how would I time align them to get the phasing correct at my listening position? Last edited by a moderator: May 29, Nov 21, The time alignment feature is great to use.
All you have to do is select the time alignment and then use a measuring tape to measure the distance from the drivers seat to; all the speakers you have in the car, front right. You may or may not have to option to measure your subwoofer placement unless your unit provides that option but; set your subwoofer at 80hz or lower I had mine at 63hz Once you are done, you don't have to go back again unless you would like to make changes.
Let us know how you go or if you still not sure about this topic. Cheers mate! Thanks, but I'm talking about delaying the actual drivers after the crossover. There's nothing you can do signal wise to control independently the mid and tweeter if they are hooked up to passive crossover, your speakers are basically a coaxial with better positioning thats all. I was afraid of that. Apologies if that sounds condescending and I don't mean to be a douche. Jeffdachef said:. IDK to me the dayton airs needed to be ported and the mid needed a low pass crossover implemented and needed a good amount of power to play loud and clean.
I've actually thought along those lines. Looking back, I legitimately wish I hadn't bought a set of Polk components and just got some Dayton drivers and designed a little XO myself. I've built some bookshelf speakers myself, so I have the tools, and knowledge, to design a proper XO. Generally speaking, I agree about the porting which totally depends on the QTS of the driver and box, btw , but you can also argue that for cars needing a sub to sound good in the low end, so that's kinda a wash IMO.
I have those b airs too I was listing out the stuff I didnt like about them. Last edited by a moderator: May 30, I would have gladly paid 75 if they added the things I've listed and they would be literally perfect budget speakers. They only have an inline high pass crossover for the tweeter and the enclosure is easily massed produced, i think they get a 30 dollar profit margin on each pair easy thats why when they accidentally sent me 6 pairs when I only ordered 3 pairs Last edited by a moderator: May 31, Jul 22, 7 0 United States.

Phase and time alignment („Time“)
This seller has not set a shipping cost for Russian Federation. Please contact them to ask about shipping. This Bag End floor speaker monitor sounds great on stage because the high frequency driver is "time aligned" with the low frequency speaker. This makes it easier to hear yourself without having to turn the volume up high. This is a passive speaker monitor which requires power from a power amp or powered mixer. It is in very good condition, cosmetically and functionally. There is a little wear from normal use on the rugged carpet exterior of the monitor enclosure, but as you can see in the photos it has been well taken care of. The grille looks like new! It has always been stored in my dry, heated home when not in use.
What is Time-Align?
This is demonstrated graphically in the scope pictures of the sound of a hand clap. The conventional loudspeaker spreads out the sound in time: when a rapid series of transients occur the results are blurring and lost detail. With Time Align, the sound of the hand clap is presented as a tight package of energy, with the same time relationship as the natural sound. This means that a rapid series of transients will be heard clearly.

Next to the two sliders you can find the display for the phase value in degrees and the delay time, given in centimeters. Here you can see the settings of all channels at a glance and do not have to switch back and forth between the individual channels to set the phase and delay. A clean spatial reproduction of the music is only possible if the time alignment is set properly. For this purpose, the software offers a very sensitive setting option in which the step size depends on the sample rate of the respective device. For products with a 48 kHz sample rate, the step size is 7 mm or 0.

To time align your Main to your Front-fill using Smaart, first find the acoustic crossover point where they have matching level, then match their arrival times using the delay finder. Setting the delay for the front-fill speakers is a very easy process using Smaart. The challenge is in choosing the correct measurement microphone location. If your mic location is too far into the audience, your front-fills will be too loud, tearing off the faces of the season ticket holders in the front row.

Many years ago the term 'Time alignment' referred to speaker placement in large auditoriums, churches, stadiums, race courses, etc. The large distance between speakers could cause excessive echoes. In recent years modern marketing trends have made 'time alignment' also refer to the very small distances, between voice coil alignments of woofer and tweeter.
When we introduce physical displacement between loudspeakers in multiple dimensions, we end up creating triangular pyramids with sides of different lengths between the loudspeakers and listeners. These path differences create additional time offsets which make it even more challenging to remain time aligned for as many spectators as possible. This solution figure 2 however, creates a stalemate situation with no degrees of freedom to move. Only at FOH do we find ourselves at the top of a triangular pyramid with at least two equilateral sides.
is absolutely not in accordance with the previous sentence
I don’t drink. Not at all. So it doesn’t matter :)
You are making a mistake. Let's discuss this. Email me at PM, we will talk.
