Musical and acoustic relationship

Formula

latency = buffer size ÷ sample rate

= 5.3333333333333

Note

This result is a simplified model: it applies the displayed standard formula to the values you entered, assuming twelve-tone equal temperament, a speed of sound of 343 m/s in dry air at 20 °C, an ideal free field with no reflections or air absorption, purely resistive speaker loads and Sabine's diffuse-field assumption. Real rooms, instruments, codecs and amplifiers depart from these idealisations, so measure with proper instruments for critical work.
