9ms is a relatively long trip time.
There’s no issue using it for FOH, but you have to be very careful when using it for monitors. I think 4ms to 9ms is unacceptable for monitor mixes
Depending on your setup, it’s definitely possible to create a system with a round-trip-time of less than 9 ms; with 1 ms Dante network latency and 32 sample periods at 96 kHz, we would expect to see a 3 ms total insert latency (1 ms network each way plus 1 ms internal latency), plus whatever latency your console routing or AD/DA conversion is adding. If you’re seeing significantly higher latencies than that, are you running at a lower sample rate perhaps? Have you measured thee insert latency of just your interface?
Today I measured my system too. I´m @48k and have 4.2ms roundtrip through the engine. single mono chain, no plugins. Period Size 32 Samples, Dante 1ms. So the Latency is build as follows I guess?
1ms Dante IN
2.2ms System Latency
1ms Dante OUT
Is that correct? Only way to make it a bit faster is to go to 96k where I could win kind of 0.7ms, right?
