A device that delays the audio signal that goes through it a fixed amount of time. Usually uses digital conversions.
A transmission line, or equivalent device, used to delay a signal.
A processing module that delays each sample by a certain amount, known as the "length" of the delay line, because it corresponds to the length of the simulated string.
A circuit in a sound reinforcement system used to drive fill speakers or speakers located anywhere other than where the main speaker(s) are located. A digital delay is used to align the arival of the two signals (the main signal and the fill signal) so they are heard as one sound and not two. Thus, the people at the rear of a room sitting in the coverage area of the fill speaker will hear the sound from the main speaker and the fill speaker at the same time. see also speed of sound
A device designed to delay the video signal for a specific length of time. Required when switching between different types of devices or cameras with significatly different cable lengths.
A cable that delays electrical signals by a specified amount of time.
a circuit designed to introduce a calculated delay into the transmission of a signal
A transmission line or circuit that imposes a desired amount of propagation delay on an incident signal. Delay lines may also be specified in terms of the phase shift they produce as a result of the propagation delay.
An artificial or real transmission line or equivalent device designed to delay a wave or signal for a specific length of time.
A cable made to provide a very low velocity of propagation with a long electrical delay for transmitted signals.
A device used to delay transmission of a signal for functions such as memory loops, sequential processing or built-in testing. The delay can be achieved by coiling long lengths of coaxial cable or optical fiber. Learn more about Delay Line...
Any ladder filter or transmission line which introduces a delay in time for a signal passing through.
A device that electronically delays an audio signal
An electrical circuit designed to delay the output of a given input signal a fixed amount, usually for the purpose of adding a synthesized ambience to the program. This is done in the studio to add artificial reverb to a program and can also be done at home with a surround-sound processor. Dolby Surround also adds delay to help separate the surround-channel sound from that of the main channels.
