does not change regardless of the DSP configuration, unless the configuration intentionally adds more delay.

The RAVE 522ua also supports the new optional low-latency CobraNet feature that provides transport at only 2.66 milli- seconds delay. Thus the delay from analog to analog across the network can be less than 6 milliseconds, fast enough not only for large audio distribution but for the most critical real-time live performance work.

Both software and firmware can be easily updated over the network. In the future, QSC will be adding new capabilities to both RAVE and QSControl.net. Our latest code releases and access to up-to-date information on RAVE and QSCon-

trol.net are available at www.qscontrol.net. We invite you to visit us there.

We've applied our many years of experience in supporting high-end installed sound with our previous system-building products such as RAVE, QSControl, CM16a, DSP-3, DSP-4, and DSP-30. The RAVE 522ua brings all that technology together in one compact, powerful, easy to use system. We are confident that your new RAVE 522ua will provide years of dependable service and we hope it will help you, the sys- tem designer and implementer, to express your creative audio system ideas.
