S/PDIF Input

*Delta 1010 11/12

*Summed Monitor Mixer Signal

NOTE: There may be slight variations in the naming of inputs when using certain audio applications. For example, an input pair may be labeled “ASIO

1-2” instead of “Delta 1010 1/2.” Furthermore, some programs may break down the inputs listed above into individual “left” and “right” mono channels. In this case, the software may display the inputs as “Left Delta 1010 1,” “Right Delta 1010 2,” etc. Refer to your application’s user guide to learn more about how inputs are labeled.

“Delta 1010 1/2” through “Delta 1010 7/8” correspond to analog inputs 1-8 on the rear of the rack-mount interface.

“Delta 1010 9/10” corresponds to the red S/PDIF input on the PCI Host Adapter card.

NOTE: The S/PDIF Input will not accept incoming signals if Delta 1010’s Clock Source is set to “Internal Xtal” in the Control Panel. To ensure proper operation, set the Clock Source to S/PDIF and make sure that the connected source device is configured as clock master. Please see the Digital Synchronization and Multi-Device Setup Guide found at http://www.m-audio.com for more information.

*“Delta 1010 11/12” is the output of the hardware Monitor Mixer on the PCI card and can be selected if you wish to record the combined physical and virtual inputs (audio returning from your recording software) of the Monitor Mixer.
