Re: digital delays


Second on the BSS TCS804, you can buy them used for about $150. It gives you two pairs of outs with independent delay times. you can delay your foh near fields to the cluster or the "stand" speakers. As for delaying the stereo set to the cluster you're going to have to make a choice on the reference point. If i am imagining this correctly the cluster is flown over the down stage center of the stage area and the speakers are on poles on the stage. There will be no real correct point to delay since it will change as you move about the room. If you don't put anything but voice in the cluster than I wouldn't worry with it as long as they generally physically aligned. It's when the audio begins to cohabitate the other speaker systems where it really sticks it head out. I would delay the near fields to the center cluster since you are one somewhat of an even plane being in the balcony.


Sounds like one of the situations where you will have to do the best you can. Good Luck!
