Latencies of the Meridian 568.2
The latency of the Meridian 568.2 depends on various factors, such as:

The type of signal processing that is enabled (e.g., Trifield, bass management, room correction).
The digital signal processing (DSP) used for speaker calibration and synthesis.
Typical latency values:
According to the specifications of the Meridian 568.2, the latency is typically around 1 to 2 milliseconds (ms) for standard processing settings.
This latency is comparable to many modern DSP-based processors, as the processing occurs in real-time and the delay is minimal.

Factors influencing latency:
- Signal processing: Enabling Trifield, bass management, and other room correction techniques can lead to slightly higher latency, as complex algorithms and filters are applied.
- Digital signal transmission: The signal path within the Meridian 568.2, especially during digital processing, may introduce additional latency, particularly when communicating between different digital components.
- Speaker correction: When the 568.2 performs speaker calibration with integrated speaker management or room correction, this may add further delay, although in most cases it remains imperceptible.
- Output channels: When multiple speakers (e.g., center, subwoofer, front speakers) and their individual phase adjustments are processed, latency may vary slightly, but it should still remain very low.
