Table 17: Delay Compensation options
Section Option Description Recommendations Latency (ms)
Input
Channels
Insert
Time-aligns the output of all input channels,
regardless of whether or not they have an
active insert. When this option is switched
o, any input channels with inserts will be
delayed relative to those input channels that
do not have inserts.
If no inserts are used in the input channel
layer, switch this option o to reduce the
overall system latency.
If there is an insert on any input channel,
switch this option on.

Aux Sends
Monitor Mode

Masters)
See “Monitor Mode (Align with Masters)”. N/A N/A
Aux Sends Insert
Compensates for inserts placed in aux
buses. To do this it modies the delay that
sits between the input channel outputs
and master/matrix channel inputs, so that
signals fed from inputs to masters will line
up with signals fed from inputs through
auxes to masters.
If there are no inserts on any aux channels,
switch this option o to reduce overall
system latency.
If any aux channel has an insert, switch this
option on.
If the Monitor Mode (Align with Masters)
option is selected, it is prudent to switch this
option o.
1.11
Aux Sends Send- FX-Return
This option compensates the inputs to master
and matrix paths for the signal path between
an aux through an eect, and back through a
return to the master and matrix channels.
If no eects are used between the aux and
return channels, switch this option o so that
overall system latency will be reduced.
If any eects are used between any auxes and
returns, switch this option on.
If the Monitor Mode (Align with Masters)
option is selected, it is prudent to switch this
option o.
1.11
Aux Sends Graphic EQ
This setting controls the delay compensation
that aligns aux bus outputs for channels
which do use GEQ with those that do not.
If no aux buses use GEQ, switch this option o
to reduce overall system latency.
If any aux bus has a GEQ inserted, switch this
option on to ensure all aux bus outputs are
time-aligned.
0.7
Master and
Matrix
Insert
Time-aligns the output of all the master and
matrix channels, regardless of whether or not
they have an active insert. With this option
switched o, the outputs of any master or
matrix channels using inserts will be delayed
relative to the equivalent channels not
using them.
If no inserts are used in the master/matrix
channel layer, switch this option o to reduce
overall system latency.
If Inserts are used in any master/matrix
channels, switch this option on.
1.11
Master and
Matrix
Graphic EQ
This option controls the delay compensation
that aligns master and matrix bus outputs for
channels using GEQ with those that do not.
If no master or matrix buses are using GEQ,
switch this option o to reduce overall
system latency.
If any master or matrix buses have a GEQ
inserted, switch this option on to time-align
all master and matrix bus outputs.

Monitor Mode (Align with Masters)
The default control centre bus structure is organised such that inputs can
be routed to masters and also simultaneously routed to masters and matrix
channels via the aux (aux send) buses (Figure 28) or via the aux and return
buses (Figure 27), while maintaining the same overall input to output latency in
both paths.
This may not be the desired structure if aux (aux send) and matrix outputs are
both being used for monitor mixes, where it is desirable for aux, masters and
matrix outputs to be time-aligned with the minimum possible latency.
When this switch is on, the delay element that is used to delay the paths from
input channels to master/matrix channels is removed. With all insert and GEQ
delay compensation switched o, the latency between a system input XLR and
a system output XLR being fed by an aux, master or matrix channel is 1.83ms
(Figure 29).
In this mode, it is advisable to use the same GEQ and insert compensation
settings for aux and master/matrix channels to maintain their identical
output latency.
