Analog Inputs/Outputs

Delta 1010’s analog inputs and outputs allow you to record a variety of audio sources and to playback your recordings to many destinations. On the rear of the interface, you will ﬁnd eight 1/4” inputs and eight 1⁄4” outputs with independent +4/-10 signal level buttons (11) next to each jack. Be sure to set these switches properly to ensure the best possible sound quality.

All of the analog inputs and outputs on the rear of the Delta 1010 are balanced 1/4” jacks. These jacks allow connection to either balanced (TRS) or unbalanced (TS) line- level devices.

NOTE: Since Delta 1010 does not have microphone pre-ampliﬁers built into the inputs, it is not possible to use a microphone that is connected directly to the interface. To record a microphone, you must ﬁrst pass the microphone signal through a microphone preampliﬁer (such as the M-Audio TAMPA) and connect the preampliﬁed line-level or S/PDIF output to the input of the Delta 1010.

The Digital Monitor Mixer

Delta 1010 features a hardware digital audio mixer built into its PCI Host Adapter card. This mixer accepts digital audio from all hardware inputs and all software audio outputs, mixes them with 36-bit internal precision, and then provides the mixed signal to analog outputs 1-2 and/or the S/PDIF outputs for monitoring purposes. While the mixer is primarily intended to be used for creating monitor mixes, it may also be used for stereo mixing since its output can be recorded back into your audio application. The digital audio mixer is conﬁgured and controlled by the included Control Panel software.

This is the same type of “bidirectional printer cable” used to connect printers to the parallel port printer port of a computer. This type of cable is commonly available through computer and professional audio stores and M-Audiohas successfully tested Delta 1010 with cables up to 25 feet in length. If the supplied Host Cable is not long enough for optimal for computer/ interface placement, consider replacing the included cable with a longer one Delta 1010 User GuideThe Digital Monitor Mixer Delta System OverviewAnalog Inputs/Outputs Delta 1010 User GuideSynchronization The Patchbay / RouterDelta 1010 User Guide Audio Inputs Using Delta 1010 with your Audio SoftwareDelta 1010 User Guide Display Name Audio OutputsDelta 1010 User Guide Corresponding OutputsMonitor Mixer Tab Control Panel SoftwareDelta Control Panel for Windows XP Delta 1010 User GuideMonitor Mixer is the ﬁrst tab that appears when the Control Panel is opened.
