Sonic Delay Line (Noun)
Meaning
A delay line based on the time of propagation of sound waves.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- The sonic delay line was used in early digital signal processing to create various audio effects and to estimate time intervals between signal pulses.
- Acoustic engineers designed a novel method for estimating the impulse response using an extended sonic delay line with auxiliary channels.
- Historically the first digital computers used mercury delay lines and sonic delay lines to create memory for their data storage.
- Determining the precise length of the sonic delay line was essential to ensure the generated delay matches the time separation of the sound signals.
- Audio technicians learned how accurately adjust the tuning parameters of their devices by propagating voice signals through a specially designed sonic delay lineGuidId
