Hi,
thanks for that though whilst I understand the science I have to say that i=
n all the hand-held recorders i've used / tested etc i've never encountered=
any noticeable delay in 'live' monitoring. Perhaps whats causing confusion=
here is that i'm talking about listening to the live sound coming in via t=
he inputs or internal mics - on the LS-100 there's no option to select betw=
een input monitoring & track monitoring so the delay is there even if you'r=
e not recording ! this is whats causing concern with this particular record=
er.

The minimum possible delay is usually a few hundret samples in both the A/D=
and D/A converter (1000 samples at 44.1 kHz would for instance corresond t=
o a delay of 0.02 s). There might however be additonal delays in a recorder=
due to additional signal processing steps, such as resampling and filterin=
