Re: Repeater latency

["Kevin Goldsmith" <kevin@unitcircle.com>]

According to the newest Electronic Musician magazine which has an article 
on latency (for computer recording), AD or DA takes 1.5 ms.  So assuming 
that the passthrough on the dry signal of the repeater doesn't actually do 
anything besides the digital conversion, you would have 3ms of latency 
from your original dry signal to the output of the repeater.  I assume 
however that the repeater probably does some processing for mixing the 
outputs and such which probably adds a few more ms of delay to the dry 
signal.  A good question would be to see how the inserts are handled in 
regards to the original signal, worst case is that there is another AD/DA 
step for the inserts even if there is nothing plugged into them.  If I had 
an oscilliscope, I'd try out all the signal routing possibilities for the 
repeater and measure the different latencies, however I'm sure that 
someone at Electrix has already done this and maybe we can get them to 
post to the list?

Sobered,

P.S. I don't use the repeater in my sends, I've always used it in a 
separate bus, so I haven't noticed this issue at all.
