Chapter 27. Delay Compensation (Latency)
A time delay is induced in a channel’s signal by placing, for example, an insert (internal or external) or GEQ in its path. This delay aects system latency and can also
produce undesirable audio eects such as comb ltering. To overcome this the HD96-24 system incorporates a system of user-congurable delay compensation
parameters. These are presented to the user in the form of button-selectable options in the GUI and can be switched on or o to suit the current application with a
range of presets to help you choose.
In the diagram below, two microphones are both being sent to the stereo bus. The rst channel has no processing turned on. The second has a GEQ, Insert and a Send
and Return FX active which all add dierent amounts of time. This means the second channel arrives slightly later than the rst which could cause phasing or comb
ltering issues. In order to compensate for each processing block. The same time dierence are added to the rst channel (X, Y and Z). Now the two channels arrive at
the stereo bus at the same time. Delay compensation insures, depending on settings that all your Inputs and outputs are perfectly aligned creating that glorious
Midas sound.
