Abstract

A method for phase alignment of audio signals using a first impulse response signal associated with a first frequency range and a second impulse response signal associated with a second frequency range is provided. The method includes determining a first start time for the first impulse response and a second start time for the second impulse response. The method further includes determining a delay based at least in part on a difference between the second start time and the first start time. The method further includes adjusting at least one audio signal phase for a first audio driver operating in the first frequency range with respect to a second audio driver operating in the second frequency range, where the adjusting of the at least one audio signal phase is based at least in part on the determined delay.
