neutral  Tony M: Although that is of course also true, it misses out the vital concept of 'delay' — they could perfectly well be 'relais' without necessarily being 'delayed' / Not significantly in audio terms.

  -> whatever you relay, it's bound to be with some delay...

agree  Tony M: Of course, it is not the L/S itself which is delayed, but the signal reaching it: Just as a 'surround speaker' reproduces 'surround sound'

Haut-parleurs à effet de suppression d'échos
Pour des micros le pb est le même

disagree  Christian Fournier: il s'agit de haut-parleurs et non de micros
24 mins
  -> que ce soit HP ou micros ce qui est important pour le traducteur est "delay", donc ....merci pour votre "disagree" sans discernement et ça existe aussi pour les micros la suppression d'échos

disagree  Tony M: This is not about echo suppression, it is all about signal timing. / Yes, but 'echo suppression' is a quite different technique.
1 hr
  -> signal timing can be called "synchonization" or "delay" for putting in phase different signals

neutral  Jennifer Levey: I suggest you read about frequency-shifting (used for howl-round/echo suppression) and see how it differs from time-shifting (used to deliver time-synchronous audio to listeners at the back of the room).

delay speakers
haut-parleurs avec lignes à retard


Explanation:
Explication sur le système correspondant au texte de référence en anglais:
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_à_retard_(sonorisation)
Voir exemple 1 page 8:
http://www.laregie-paca.com/sites/default/files/pdf/PDF_ABCs...

parfois appelé effet Haas:
http://www.sonorisation-spectacle.org/effet-haas.html
(je ne suis pas fan du "rappel délayé", retardé par une ligne à retard ça serait plus cohérent, mais c'est le jargon de la sono)

Le système est aussi appel "enceinte de relais" ou "enceinte de rappel", mais comme le fait remarquer l'article WP, il ne s(agit pas d'un type d'appareil mais d'une utilisation avec des lignes à retard
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enceinte_(audio)#Enceinte_de_r...

et de plus en plus les lignes à retard sont intégrées dans les consoles ou les amplis et non dans les enceintes

agree  GILOU

neutral  Tony M: Regarding your closing comment, I believe it is almost EXCLUSIVELY in the low-level signal chain, since audio delay lines are now always digi and hence operate at line level. I'm not sure how current 'ligne à retard' is in FR? ('archaic' now in EN)
9 mins

neutral  Jennifer Levey: 'lignes à retard' is too specific in terms of the technique/hardware used - and most likely incorrect in modern systems.
