Re: System DSP roundtrip latency






Yes.  In Robert Scovil's Complete FOH Engineer seminar he discusses sample rate conversion.  I recall one of his comments as saying ''you really don't want to see these 3 letters: 'SRC'.''




There are all kinds of places for latency to creep in and they do add up.  I can foresee in some unique situations where cumulative latency could ''move'' the PA upstage of the acoustic source on stage.  It would take some specific staging and PA placements for this to happen, but I can see a frustrated SE trying to fix an alignment issue, desperately needing the Ultra-Speeder-Upper Pro® to spit out electrons faster than they come in and 'fix' the latency issue. Nudge, nudge, wink wink.
