6000 Broadcast Audio Delay
User’s Guide
PAGE 13
Architects and engineers specifications
The Broadcast Audio Delay shall be a stereo model whose output is delayed by as much as 40 seconds, thereby
allowing the operator to delete or "dump" unwanted audio. The Broadcast Audio Delay shall occupy one rack
space (1U).
The inputs shall be active balanced bridging designs terminated with 3-pin XLR (AES/IEC standard wiring) female
jacks.
The outputs shall be active balanced designs terminated with 3-pin XLR (AES/IEC standard wiring) male jacks.
Overall frequency response shall be 20 Hz to 20 kHz, +/- 1 dB, measured at +4 dBu output. There shall be no
more than 0.01% harmonic distortion measured under the following conditions: +4 dBu input, +4 dBu output, 40
second delay, 1000 Hz test frequency.
When the unit is inoperative (either by loss of power, or via the BYPASS switch), the inputs and outputs shall be
wired together.
The Broadcast Audio Delay shall be capable of operating by means of its own built-in power supply connected to
100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 25 W.
The Broadcast Audio Delay shall be a Symetrix, Incorporated model 6000 BROADCAST AUDIO DELAY.

A high pass filter is engaged during build and exit modes only when using the gap detect or gap catchup
algorithms. During build and exit modes when using either of these algorithms, the frequency response will be
down about -3 dB at 100 Hz.
