Group delay
The latency at high frequencies from the
input to the acoustic output, measured in the
analog input:

Extended Phase Linearity in GLM set to OFF

(top graph)
4.2 ms

Extended Phase Linearity in GLM set to ON

(bottom graph)
8.6 ms

In Genelec performance graphics, the time of

converting the from an electronic input signal
to the acoustic output in a Genelec monitor
is described by two factors – latency and
group delay. The group delay factor can be
read in the graphics for a specific frequency.
The total frequency-specific input-to-output
delay is a sum of the latency and group delay
factors. To understand the significance of this
total delay, consider that moving a
loudspeaker away by 1 meter creates an
additional delay of about 3 ms.
