<p>{{ APIRef() }}</p>
<div>
 <p>The <code>DelayNode</code> interface represents a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_delay_line" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_delay_line">delay-line</a>; an {{domxref("AudioNode")}} audio-processing module that causes a delay between the arrival of an input data and its propagation to the output. A <code>DelayNode</code> always has exactly one input and one output, both with the same amount of channels.</p>
