Delay (DLY)

The delay processor, when inserted, provides a means to delay the audio signal. Audio
delay syncs audio to video or can time-align speakers placed at different distances from
the listener. The DMP 64 can set delay by either of two criteria: time or distance (feet or
meters).
The default units setting is time with a range of 0.0 ms to 200.0 ms adjustable in 0.1 ms
steps. Default is 100.0 ms.
Settings are controlled with a vertical slider and indicated with a value readout field. The
value can be changed by clicking within the readout field, changing the number, then
either pressing <Enter>, <Tab>, or clicking away from the field.

Slider adjustments made in feet or meters correspond incrementally to the distance
required to make 1 ms or 5 ms adjustments (detailed in the table below). If more precision
is required, enter time in 0.1 ms increments directly into the readout field.

When distance (feet or meters) is chosen, the conditions (temperature) field becomes
available and can be set either by degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. When entering a
distance, time delay compensation is automatically modified based on differences in the
speed of sound due to air temperature.
Default is 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

NOTE: When using distance (feet or meters), set a temperature value first, then set

the distance.
