RE: [linux-audio-user] measuring sound volume - Linux-audio-user

The tried and true method for setting speaker delay is to use a microphone
and a sharpie at the FOH position and adjust the second cluster by ear.

 So if a zone is 10 meters a minimum distance between systems would be
 100 meters?
 Could that be cut down to 50 to provide fusion at the edges of the  zones?

 We used to set up some large outdoor concerts here in California. Don't
 forget that there are timing differences based on where people are
 standing WRT each set of speakers. If someone is just beyond the second
 set they will hear both the main set on stage as well as the set close
 to them.
 We used to set up all the speakers going in the same direction away from
 the stage and then digitally delay the later speakers by 1mS/foot that
 the two sets were separated. This worked really well and gave much
 better sound in the back of the area we were covering.
 I would think this would be very easy with Jack and some little digital
 delay app running under Linux.
