DSP processing and audio delay

[Drew]

Hi there,

There is a few other threads floating around regarding audio delays, while using the phantoms to watch TV/Movies. However, it's not clear if these noticable delays happen in all cases, or just for certain people (depending on how they connect to the phantoms, or dialog). I'm looking at purchasing two Golds, so it's important to clear up.

I would be connecting mine directly from the TV via optical ..to one of the Phantoms. Should I expect Lip-sync issues ? I've read that TV's with heavy/slow image processing, equalise any delays on the phantoms - but I guess that's just luck of the draw . In other words, if TV/Movies are important, would I be risking being disappointed with a purchase ?

Many thanks!



Hello! The answer is NO you will only experience lip sync delay if you try to Airplay/Bluetooth videos to your Phantom.
The optical cable bi passes the delay.
