I’ve just bought a stereo system to practice my mixes at home. As soon as I started playing some tracks, I noticed the sound going through the speakers are delayed.
I’m using a Kontrol Z1 as the audio interface, and the difference between what I hear in the headphones and the speakers is very noticeable. I’ve already set my sound system to the ‘bypass’ mode, to prevent any pre-processing which might had been causing the delay, but unfortunately it didn’t work. The latency is still big and I guess the sound system works just like that.
Are you aware of any setting I can change to compensate that delay, or something like that? I tried to mess around with some Asio settings, but had no luck.
Sure. My sound system has two 450W front speakers + 1 450W subwoofer (6 ohms). The AUX input I’m using is a 2.0 Vrms (1kHz, 0dB), 600 ohms RCA connector.
Does depend whether that is 450w RMS, which I doubt, it’s more than likely peak power which isn’t a great measure. Though if it is RMS then that is one seriously loud system for home use.
My old Q Acoustic Floorstanders were I think 100w RMS each and they could bang.
I played a big ass house party once with like 2000 RMS worth of mains and 2000 RMS worth of subs. We shook that house off the foundation for about an hour before the cops showed up. lol
2000watt is over kill for any house I’ve hooked my mobile rig up before in living room and I couldn’t get above first notch before I could my bear it anymote
