SETUP
DIGITAL DELAY SCREEN
The Digital Delay screen is used to adjust delay time settings. Delay time is shown in the window, with adjacent buttons providing the
up/down adjustments. Coarse
buttons change the delay time in 1 milli-second increments. Fine buttons change the delay time in 21
micro-second increments. Delay time may also be entered directly into the window, but will be rounded to the nearest available setting.
Msec
allows delay times to instead be entered & calculated in terms of distance measurements (inches, feet, centimeters, or meters).
NOTE: Distances should be measured in terms of the difference
between direct and delayed sound sources, with respect to the listener
(i.e...direct source to listener = 200 feet; delayed source to listener = 20 feet; distance = 180 feet). Also, when sounds from the direct
source & delayed source reach the listener at roughly the same volume level, additional delay (approximately 10~30 milliseconds) may be
added to the calculated delay time. This added delay will produce what is known as the ‘Haas Effect’, which gives the listener the
impression that all sound is emanating from the direct source. This added delay should be fine-tuned by ear to achieve the desired results.
Bypass
temporarily sets delay time to minimum (1.333 msec).
