Hardware Settings Tab

The Hardware Settings tab gives you control over a variety of features of Delta 1010. These features are grouped into the following sections:

NOTE: Some audio applications may make certain Control Panel settings unavailable while the application is open. In this case, you will need to adjust these settings through the audio application itself. This process varies from program to program, but it is usually done through the application’s “Configuration” or “Audio Settings” menu. Refer to your audio software’s documentation to learn how to do this.

<MASTER CLOCK: This section allows you to select the source of the interface’s master clock. Delta 1010 allows you to select among the following three sources: Internal Xtal, S/PDIF In, and Word Clock.

If you are using your Delta 1010 by itself, this parameter must be set to “Internal Xtal” for the interface to work properly. This setting uses Delta 1010’s internal crystal oscillator as the source of the master clock.

If you have connected a S/PDIF device to your Delta 1010’s S/PDIF input, set S/PDIF as the source of Delta 1010’s master clock and make sure that the external S/PDIF device is configured to provide the master clock signal. This will slave Delta 1010 to the external device’s clock and allow S/PDIF signals to enter the interface.
