Ploytec Latenc-o-meter

Latency Tester / Delay Meter


Pricing: Latenc-o-meter EUR 199.00 including shipment.


Here you can order the Ploytec Latenc-o-meter, a unique tool for finding the truth about latency.

The unit generates a "click" signal on its analog output (the red cinch connector) and waits until it returns on the input (the black cinch connector).

In the meantime it samples that input on its A/D converter running at 100kHz samplerate in order to get this amazing accuracy: The measurement range goes from 0.01ms to 999.99ms!

The red button switches it on while pressed, new clicks are generated every few seconds. It runs from a 9V battery which is easy to replace (but should last for ages depending on your application).

We use it for our development of external USB soundcards and drivers, but there's tons of further applications including checking your studio setup, testing digital audio equipment and last not least VoIP.

Pricing: EUR 199.00 including shipment. If you order from a non-European Union country there might be additional taxes charged by your national customs.

In the EU, you have the legal right to cancel your order (and return the unit) anytime within 14 days after ordering.

Estimated delivery time: Typically we ship on the day you order, max. 3 days. Your credit card will be charged on the day we ship the unit.

And yet I never get accurate results with that method.

and many folks on forums say

QuoteI have only 1.09ms round trip latency on my Windows DAW!

and I say B.S.

Today I only trust using my independent third party hardware tool Ploy-Tec Latence-o-meter, and I'm gathering the data

Amazing how the brain started hearing it earlier and earlier by watching the first part over and over again.
But I got more gear than I need...and I like it!

After 5.2 milliseconds the show is over...
All flam's after that

That is not going to work, as the point of reference (being itself) has latency too.
It has to be an external device, such as the latency timer, or a dual trace oscilloscope.

Some folks always trust the DAW apps' reported latency as the last word in accurate latency reporting

( which BTW - I never trust the reported Latency in any DAW )

why?

here's one reason

Preliminary I/O Latency Test shootout

- but its important to realize I/O Latency changes depending on how many effects are enabled and active during the I/O latency test  (i.e. More FX = Higher DSP Workload = Higher I/O Latency)


I/O Latency Test Results  (milliseconds) (By Leo Gibson)


This is a video many of you have requested: we will check out the Latency differences between 13 amp modeling pedalboards: Fractal FM 3, Kemper stage, Boss GT 1000, Line 6 Helix, HX stomp, PoD GO, Mooer GE 300, 250 and 150, Headrush Gigboard, Ampero, NUX MG 300, Valeton GP 100...
