Connecting Your Equipment to the Delta Interface

< Each Delta interface has a unique number of inputs

and outputs which can be used for a variety of

purposes. By default, analog outputs 1 and 2 serve as

your “main” outputs. Connect channels 1 and 2 to the

left and right inputs of your mixer, powered speakers,

or other audio destination.

< All Delta interfaces accept line-level analog signals.

Connect your line-level instruments (Keyboards,

mixers, etc.) to any available analog input. If you wish to

record microphones or the direct output of an electric

guitar, bass, or other instrument-level device, you must

first raise the signal to line-level using a preamplifier.

< If you own any devices with S/PDIF inputs or outputs,

connect these devices to the S/PDIF connectors on

the PCI Host Adapter Card or break-out cable (not

applicable for Delta 44).

For more detailed information about all of the available

inputs and outputs, please refer to your Delta

interface’s User Guide located on the Delta Series

CD-ROM.
