Left Right time alignment ..?

(1/3) > >>

 Newbie Newbie Newbie here.. I promised I searched the forum over and over for this, couldn't seem to find the topic. I'm running my 60gig Ipod as a head unit in my car's sound system. I'm shocked at the capability of Rockbox! :o It would give my Ipod every feature of a high end head unit!
 There's just one thing I'm wondering about.. Since there seems to be a time alignment in the crossfeed feature, I'm wondering if Rockbox can do a simple left or right channel time delay so I can delay my driver side speakers to 'center' me in the sound stage?
 I hope I didn't miss this in another thread, making the classic newbie mistake..
          Thanks for your time..   Eric.

bascule:
No, the closest you can get is to alter the left-right balance. As usual, the maual is your friend (link)

Chronon:
Crossfeed introduces symmetric delays to the left and right channels before "crossing and feeding".  So it won't change your position on the soundstage.  A configurable time delay for only one channel would be a new feature.

Edit: I also want to point out that it applies a frequency filter in addition to the delay.

 Thanks guys. From reading the manual, it seemed anything was possible! I just had the center section of my dashboard cutout for two 3.5" Peerless fiberglass cone speakers. If I can get this center channel right, I'll barely know what I'm missing.
 I'm crossing it over low, somewhere around 1000Hz, and I'll have full volume control over it independent of anything else in the system.
 Still gonna try crossfeed though.. I'll let everyone know what I find.
          Thanks again..            Eric.

Crossfeed helps simulate speaker listening while wearing headphones by (in part) diminishing stereo separation.  You don't want to use it in your situation.

I agree, though, adjustable channel delay would be a very nice feature.
