DELAY COMPENSATION510
Delay Compensation with Busses and Parallel Channels
When using Parallel Channels and Output Busses the same principles apply, i.e. the total latencies for all mixer chan-
nels and busses should be the same when the signals reach the Master Section. Also, the latencies of the signals en-
tering the same Output Bus must also be the same, to avoid phasing problems etc. In the picture below, a number of
mixer channels, parallel channels and busses are used:
Delay compensation when using Parallel Channels and Busses.
As you can see in the picture above, the signal chain with the longest inherent combined latency is: Mix Channel 3 >
Bus 1 > Parallel Bus 1 > Bus 2 > Master Section; this signal chain is therefore not delay-compensated. All other sig-
nals are delay-compensated where necessary, which is indicated by the orange circles in the picture.
