Title: 9V Portable Delay
Post by: capnhook on November 09, 2014, 05:06:15 PM: Does anyone know or use a portable delay? I have on occasion been asked to patch audio from my r-44, thus I would like to combine my unbalanced outputs through a delay, to make a live matrix.

Presently I can only send the AUD pair. I would have to delay the SBD signal to matrix live.

Probably looking for something that would delay 0-100ms..?

Any such animal in the frontier?

The first two might be aok, but I read some peoples' reviews that complained about 50ms steps.

This one....

...looks perfect.

Unless you are doing a live mix for broadcast, capture tracks isolated and mix with the luxury of undo.

Now I gotta find a 4 > 2 channel mixer, and I will be set.

Thanks again, Tim. Wish the AD-340 was half as cheap..

4 track record, delay compensation for two tracks, 2 track mixer out.

All in one unit, probably cheaper than separate pieces.

Post by: kirk97132 on November 10, 2014, 11:08:01 AM: I didn't look at any of the links but you should confirm that it is not like an effects delay which is like a repeating echo that you control the amount of time between the echos. IE: if is set the time on the delay unit at a soundboard for 50ms then each echo is 50ms apart. It does not just move the signal 50ms.

Yeah, I could get a cable made to power it from my wallyworld Li's.

The AD-340 unit delays two channels, which is all I need to do. I checked, it is not a echo unit.

I think a friend of mine used one of these "back in the day"...

Link to the manual:

This should work fine....I'll get one, and try it out.

Thanks guys.
