Hi folks,

I’m considering getting a Transmitter 1 to run my Beolab 18s wirelessly, but just want to check if it has any latency and if so what that is.

Thanks!

5 milliseconds, based upon:

a) B&O’s WiSA product release info as reported by https://www.flatpanelshd.com/review.php?subaction=showfull&id=1383642616 , and

b) Geoff Martin’s blog Q&A about matching delay for a Transmitter 1’ed subwoofer (scroll about half-way down http://www.tonmeister.ca/wordpress/2014/01/10/bo-tech-subwoofer-tweaking-for-beginners/comment-page-1/ ) where he says to move one of the speakers speed-of-sound x 5msec meters forward or backward.

Please note that is not the total latency, because the speakers themselves have some built-in sound processing, though very short in the case of Beolab 18s: 4.4msec, again per Geoff Martin (https://www.tonmeister.ca/wordpress/2017/12/06/bo-tech-beolab-loudspeakers-and-third-party-systems/)

Hi – thanks for that. I’ve already got the latency of the 18s plugged in, so it’s the 5ms for the Transmitter 1 that I will need to add.

Just out of interest I cannot find the reference in GM’s blog article (I had already read that), can you direct me to the section where he talks about the delay please?

Wasn’t clear which article you referred to, so:

Reference #1: It’s in the comments/Q&A: Search for the string “< 5 ms” (note spaces)

Reference #2: It’s in the table: search for the string “4.4”

Thanks, it was the first, I hadn’t been through all the comments.
