RELATIVITY

Accurate Latency Calculation

Check any two analogue audio transients against each other to correctly identify external start lag in synchronised devices and audio latency across analogue, digital and hybrid audio systems.

  Reference channel input receives the known signal; Relative channel input receives the signal under test

 Independent input level per channel

Independent mask control per channel — sets minimum retrigger interval

Mask rejects ringing, reverb tails and sustain so only the intended transient registers

Trigger LED per channel

  Centre-zero bargraph: BEHIND left, AHEAD right, REF at centre

  Direction and magnitude readable at a glance, without checking numerical display

  Scale printed for all three bar ranges

  Off-scale indication at both ends

   Dot or bar display mode

   Independent brightness trim for bargraph and reference indicator

  BAR Range: ±5, ±10 or ±50 ms

   AVERAGE: single =signal offset reading in real-time, or averaged over 16 / 32 hits

   OFFSET: numeric display of the measured offset

   UNITS: milliseconds, or samples at 48 kHz or 96 kHz

   Sample-domain readout for delay compensation setting without conversion

   Reference and Relative inputs duplicated on the rear panel

   Front inputs for quick patching; rear for permanent rack installation

   Dot or bar display mode selector

   Independent brightness trim for numeric display, bargraph and reference indicator

   Recessed trimmers — set once to suit the room, no accidental change in use

Words

  • “Relativity” is the perfect name for this Swiss Army Knife of a studio tool for measuring latency between a Reference and a Relative audio source. Much like Einstein’s observations, you can’t accurately measure without a reference. “Relativity” puts the measurement between two audio inputs of your choosing, measuring what the listener actually hears rather than what’s in the box. It gives an exceedingly accurate, easy measurement and the confidence to know whether things are in sync, and by how much.

  • "I like to keep a Relativity connected across the stereo mix bus to check how tight two sounds are. I just solo those two things and pan them hard left and right."
