Delta System Overview

Verifying Delta Control Panel Software Installation

In Windows, open the Windows Control Panel (do so via Start Settings Control Panel ). If your Delta 44 hardware and Delta Control Panel software are properly installed, the Windows Control Panel should display an “M Audio Delta H/W” icon. By double-clicking on that icon, you may launch the Delta Control Panel software. Also for convenience, you may create a shortcut on your desktop by dragging a copy of the “M Audio Delta H/W” icon from the Control Panel to your Windows desktop using your mouse or trackball. After completing the drag operation, a dialog box will ask you if you wish to create a shortcut — click on ‘Yes’. Once the shortcut is installed, all you have to do is double-click on the shortcut icon on your desktop to launch the Delta Control Panel software.

On the Macintosh, the Delta Control Panel may be placed anywhere on your hard drive, or any partition of your hard drive that you find convenient. Once the control panel file has been dragged from the CD onto your hard drive, you may double click it to launch the Delta Control Panel software. You may create a alias to the control panel by highlighting it, then holding Apple key+M. This alias can then be placed on your desktop.

NOTE: When using a music software program that is ASIO capable, launch the Delta Control Panel software from within that program. Some of the control panel functions will be controlled from within that program, such as master clock setting and sample rate, so it is desireable to launch the music program first, and then the Delta Control Panel from the the program’s “launch” or “control panel” button. Without the music program open however, it is okay to open the Delta panelfrom your desktop or otherlocation.

Delta’s Analog Input/Outputs

The Delta 44 Digital Recording Interface’s analog inputs and outputs are compatible with a wide variety of audio products. The Delta Control Panel software allows you to configure the signal levels of each input individually, and all outputs as a group. Signal level settings of +4/Consumer/-10 are available. Selecting the ‘+4’ radio button configures the channel(s) for use with +4dBu signal levels, compatible with most musical instruments and professional mixers. Selecting the ‘-10’ setting sets up the channel(s) for - 10dBV nominal signal levels, commonly used with consumer equipment such as CD, MiniDisc, cassette tape and DAT players. The ‘Consumer’ setting is
