Cheapest solution for fixed delay ?

[papasteack]

Hi, there's a lot of tool and dsp available. Do you know something let say < 40 €, to just simply add a fixed delay ~5 ms (not shure/wondom board).
Thanks,
Damien

Lipsync ics for i2s, if you need spdif, add single wm8804(5) and use it both as input and output.

Or 1km spool of wire

It costs slightly more (70 Eur), but you have 4 channels of delay (and other DSP effects) - the Thomann the t.racks dsp mini 4x4. I use two as digital 4way stereo crossover, delay and EQ. It is a small set-and-forget box.

Make that 1000 km for 5 ms, assuming a dielectric constant of about 2.25. That won't be cheap...

Many years ago, I was answering a customer's questions about a sound system install in a gymnasium. Among them was a concern for how to properly store the excess wiring to one of the the 2 speaker enclosures, which was about 75' closer to the equipment rack than the other. "If this is a permanent install, it'd be better to just trim it to the correct length," I explained. "Well, you can't do that, the sound will come out sooner!" he declared with a note of contempt.

I took a deep breath and attempted to explain the difference between the speed of sound, and electrical current flow (which is somewhat faster I'm told), but he wasn't having it. "I guess I'll just coil it up behind the rack," he decided.

The thing that stuck in my craw was: The guy was technically correct.

Whoops my bad, i somehow misplaced these 3 zeroes in my calculations

It's possible to delay the signal with a simple low-pass filter... Technically...

Lipsync ICs, a-la TPA5050/1. One of these could be programmed with resistors (no need for mcu/i2c).

But not for the delay reason, the attenuation difference between channels would be measurable with 75' cable difference, and perhaps the difference in damping factor would manifest itself too in bass resonances.

This is yet my plan for the 5 others ways ^^ here it would be for a ambiance full range driver

**4 others ways** of course
