VARIABLE SIGNAL LEVELS: The software switches in this section allow the user to match individual input levels and global (as in ‘all’ or ‘across the board’) output levels to the operating signal levels of the external audio equipment. Three level selections are available: +4dBu, ‘Consumer,’ and –10dBV. The ‘+4dBu’ setting is the least ‘sensitive’ of the three settings, and ‘–10dBV’ the most sensitive. Therefore, the ‘+4dBu’ setting has the most headroom and can accept the hottest signals of the three settings.

Consult the user guide of your external audio equipment regarding your equipment’s line level. If for instance your audio equipment is consumer or semi-pro, and you find that its input level is a little too hot for the Delta 66’s ‘-10dBV’ setting, try switching to the ‘Consumer’ setting. Conversely, if your –10dBV gear is receiving a signal from the Delta 66 that is too hot, try switching the Delta 66’s output levels from ‘Consumer’ to the ‘–10dBV’ setting.

S/PDIF Page

The S/PDIF page of the Delta Control Panel configures the S/PDIF output format and displays the status of the S/PDIF input. To display this page, click the “S/PDIF” tab of the Delta Control Panel software.

DIGITAL INPUT: This group box displays the current S/PDIF input status. The Delta 66’s S/PDIF receiver is capable of recognizing a valid input signal versus an invalid, corrupt or non-present one. When a valid signal is detected at S/PDIF In, this group box displays “Valid Input Detected.” When an invalid signal is detected or no signal is present, the group box displays “Invalid or Not Present.” Below this
