TC Electronic TC 1280 Stereo Digital Audio Delay
TC Electronic TC 1280 Stereo Digital Audio Delay
The TC 1280 STEREO DIGITAL AUDIO DELAY is a high resolution audio delay based on the proprietary converter technology that made the TC2290 Dynamic Digital Delay a world standard in the recording industry. Two independently controlled audio channels make the TC1280 ideally suited for any system requiring precise control over audio delay. Uses include concert delay towers, balcony delay in theatres, mastering delay, audio for video format conversion, matching of video processing delays, etc. anywhere that high quality time delays are desired with minimum effect to signal quality.
Features:
- No degradation of signal quality .The TC digital converter technology has been acclaimed as being “very musical and warm”.
- Soft HF roll off: -3dB @ 25 kHz and -12 dB @ 33 kHz allows ALL the signal to pass thru the device.
- Dynamic range > 100 dB is excellent for live sound performances.
- Absolute stereo phase linearity within 2 microseconds.
- Delay time increments adjustable down to 5 microseconds for exact adjustments needed when aligning speaker driver components.
- Expandable memory up to 2 x 10 seconds.
- Front panel controls are lockable for permanent installation.
- Remote control possible via MIDI or dedicated switches. (TC0050 footswitch allows access to presets).
- Delay times may be displayed and adjusted in time, or distance (meters or feet), or video frames (25half or full frame, and 30half or full frame).
- Automatic relay bypass of audio should there be a loss of power.
- Non-volatile memory of delay time settings in 4 presets.
