The Subjective Importance of Uniform Group Delay at Low Frequencies

Authors: Fincham, Laurie R.

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 33 · Issue 6 · pp. 436–439 · June 1985

Abstract

Analog recordings always have high group delay at low frequencies due to the combined effects of all the components in the record/replay chain, and in particular the analog recorder. Digital recorders now make it practical to remove much of this group delay. It is discussed whether it is worthwhile to produce a record/replay chain having uniform group delay down to the lowest audible frequencies.
