Bringing Clarity To The Element Of Time As It Relates To Sound
ProSoundWeb: How fast do sound signals travel through the various parts of the sound system? Do sound signals travel faster in analog snake cables or fiber optic cables?
Also, what about transmission through the air with wireless mics? And where do the true and relevant sources of time lag exist in a audio system?

I don’t know why I’m particularly drawn to sound based article today, but I’m not mad about because it’s really fun to read. I think the fact that sound is something that can’t physically be seen but still exists in space and travels at a speed, is weird and cool to think about. You always hear “travel faster than the speed of sound or the speed of light” and both of those things aren’t initially understood as physical. It’s all very complicated and has so much to do with the way your body processes sound and light and the time it takes for your body to process, which are all things I will never fully understand, but would love to learn more about. If I have some free time on my hands, I will definitely read up on some more articles about how time relates to sound and their relationship.
