Appendix A: Clocking

For proper operation, all digital audio systems (including the Delta 1010 interface) must be synchronized to a single master clock. If your digital audio systems are not conﬁgured in this way, you will hear clicks, pops, and other glitches in your audio streams.

If you are using Delta 1010 in conjunction with other digital devices in your studio, you will need to designate one device in your studio as the “clock master.” All other digital devices must be set to lock (or “slave”) to the master device’s clock.

For example, if you have connected your Delta 1010 to a DAT recorder using a S/PDIF cable, you must conﬁgure either Delta 1010 or the DAT recorder to act as the clock master, while the other device must be set to “slave” mode. If your devices are not conﬁgured in this way, you will hear clicks, pops, and other unwanted glitches in your audio.

If you wish to set Delta 1010 as the master, go to the Hardware Settings tab in the Control Panel and set the “Clock Source” parameter to “Internal Xtal” (“Internal Crystal” for Mac OS X users). If you would like Delta 1010 to slave to another device connected using S/PDIF or Word Clock, select “S/PDIF” or “Word Clock” under the Master Clock section. If you’ve set Delta 1010 to slave to an external clock, you’ll need to ensure that the external device is set as the clock master. Refer to your device’s documentation to learn how to do this.

TIP: If you are only using the analog I/O of Delta 1010 and do not plan to use its S/PDIF or Word Clock connectors, set the “Clock Source” parameter to “Internal Xtal” (“Internal Crystal” for Mac OS X users).

NOTE: If you are using multiple Delta cards in the same system, please also see the Digital Synchronization and Multi-Device Setup Guide found on www.m-audio.com.

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.
