SPEAKER MEASUREMENTS

Distances are from the driver’s ear. Delay = (max − distance) × 0.07405 ms/in.
We’ll convert cm → inches automatically.
For ½ & ¼-cycle helpers.
ms per inch:0.07405

TIME-DELAY MAP

Moving The Stage

Use this after you like your focus but want to nudge the image left/right. Enter inches and choose a direction; we’ll suggest small delay and level trims so TA alignment stays intact.

Tip: tiny near-side level trims (~0.08 dB per inch) help re-center the image.

TEST TRACKS — PLAY OR DOWNLOAD

1) Pink Noise — Full Range

Broadband noise (log-equalized). Use for L/R level match and coarse tonal balance.

2) Pink Noise — Left Only

Confirms routing and side balance. Should come strictly from the left stage.

3) Pink Noise — Right Only

Mirror of the left test; match perceived level/timbre side-to-side.

4) Mono Voice — Center Image

Should lock dead-center on the dash. If it leans, tweak delays or trim near-side level slightly.

5) Polarity Test (Pulse)

Correct polarity = tight, front-centered pulse. If hollow/smeared, fix wiring/polarity first.

6) Dirac Impulse Sweep — 60 sec

Low→high sweep for measurement. Record with REW/ARTA/BARNIE to analyze FR, IR, decay & timing after your TA/EQ pass.

How to use these tracks (quick workflow)
  1. Enter distances (prefilled as an example) → Calculate. If the image leans, make tiny delay/level trims.
  2. Pink Noise (Full) at moderate volume → match L/R level; smooth obvious peaks with broad EQ.
  3. Pink Noise L/R → confirm channel routing & balance consistency.
  4. Mono Voice → verify center lock; refine by tiny steps.
  5. Polarity Pulse → correct any out-of-polarity driver before continuing.
  6. Dirac Sweep (optional) → capture FR/IR and fine-tune XO/filters.

Keep volume consistent between tracks (C-weighted slow if you meter). Save a DSP preset before experimenting.

🔌 DVC Subwoofer Selector

We assume standard, practical wiring layouts: (1) series inside each sub then subs in series/parallel, (2) parallel inside each sub then subs in series/parallel, plus “all coils in series/parallel”.
