Time Alignment (Delay Menu): A wide ranging amount of time delay, from as little as 21 microseconds (0.021ms), can be set on each of the input and output channels.

Input Delay: Select MODE Delay. Input Delay should show in the display. Press ENTER. The delay time

parameter for Input A (INA) will flash to show it is editable (Note: the unit type - time or distance - can be adjusted via the Units submenu in the Utility menu). Adjust the setting by using the rotary control. Use NEXT to switch between INA (Input A, left channel) and INB (Input B, right channel). Press ESC to quit this mode.

From here you can delay an input signal before sending it to the channel routing stage, so that all the outputs fed by that input are delayed by the same amount.

How you use this will depend on the precise set-up of your audio system. You may, for example, wish to delay all the drive units of your front speaker system relative to your rear-mounted subwoofer, and then time align the individual drive units of the front system using the Output Channel Delay function (see further notes under Output Delay). One other application is to use a very small amount of delay on one channel only - this can give an added sense of stereo width that, while artificial, can provide quite a striking effect.

Output Delay: Select MODE Delay NEXT. Output Delay should show in the display. Press ENTER. The

delay time parameter for Output Channel 1 (OP1) will flash to show it is editable (Note: the unit type - time or distance - can be adjusted via the Units submenu in the Utility menu). Adjust the setting by using the rotary control. Use NEXT to step through the other 5 Output Channels (OP2-OP6). Press ESC to quit this mode.

A small amount of delay can be applied to the signal sent to each output channel. This is commonly known as 'Speaker Time Alignment'. The amount of delay is usually calculated from physical measurements of the distances between the various speakers and the driver's ears, using the speaker furthest away as the zero reference point (usually this will be the subwoofer). All the other speakers (which will be closer to the listener than the zero reference) should be delayed by an amount that will vary. An example follows:

(1) measure the distance (in millimetres) between the zero reference speaker and the driver's head. Usually
