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-
