DELAY COMPENSATION508
A more “graphical” way of looking at the delay compensation is shown in the picture below. Here the inherent laten-
cies of the mixer channels and the delay compensation are represented by proportionally sized boxes, which could
make it easier to understand the principle:
Delay compensation principle for a number of mixer channels routed to the Master Section of the main mixer.
As you can see in the picture above Mix Channel 2 doesn’t get any delay compensation, since it has the longest in-
herent latency of the four channels.
