1.4.14 Delay Function
The delay button allows users to activate and deactivate a delay
onthe currently selected output. Users are alsoable to adjust
the possible delay time from 1 millisecond to 1 second. Adding
a delay to output channels can help to compensate for distance
between speakers in large multi-speaker setups. A delay time of
one millisecond per foot (or 3 milliseconds per meter) that the
speaker is away from the stage is the general rule of thumb in
this application.
