DELAY
The DELAY section allows the user to add a delay to the outgoing signal, either as a function of
time (milliseconds) or as a function of distance (inches, feet or meters). The Delay section includes
the following controls:
S Time Delay: This field allows you to change the amount of delay in milliseconds (ms). The signal
can be delayed up to 1300 ms (1.3 seconds).
S Distance Delay: This field allows you to change the amount of delay in distance (inches, feet or
meters). The distance represents the how far the sound would travel in the time it is delayed. This is
useful in systems where there are remote speakers away from the main speakers.
S Air Temperature: This field is used in conjunction with the Distance Delay. Since air
temperature affects the rate at which sound travels, this field must be set at the correct room
temperature (in either Fahrenheit or Celsius) for the Distance Delay field to be accurate.
S Clear: This button clears the delay from the outgoing signal.
Setting Delay by Time
1. Place a DFR11EQ in the audio path between the mixer and the remote speaker. Using
the computer interface, call up the Delay control panel by clicking on the DELAY button in
the main control section.
2. To set delay by time, use the arrow controls or type a value in the Time Field on the left
side of the control panel. It is not necessary to adjust the air temperature field to set
delay by time.
Setting Delay by Distance
To set delay by distance, follow these instructions:
1. Place a DFR11EQ in the audio path between the mixer and the remote speaker. Using
the computer interface, call up the Delay control panel by clicking on the DELAY button in
the main control section.
2. In the Distance Delay Field, select inches, feet, or meters by clicking on the radio button
by the desired unit.
3. Measure the distance from the main loudspeaker to the remote loudspeaker.
4. Click on the arrow buttons next to the Distance field, or type a value in the box, to raise
or lower the distance.
5. Measure the air temperature.
6. Under the Air temperature field, click on the Celsius or Fahrenheit dot to select the
desired type.
7. In the Air temperature box, click on the ↑ and ↓ buttons to lower or raise the temperature.
Set this box to the temperature in the room. The default is 70_F, a typical room
temperature.
