Sound quality, performance, and superior driver technology are a few of the reasons that the Delta 1010 has established worldwide recognition as a top choice in PCI-based digital audio solutions. With superb engineering and ultra-high quality conversion, the fidelity of the Delta 1010 surpasses systems that cost many times more. The 1010 offers the professional performance required by today's most popular software programs, and provides you with features like 24-bit 96 kHz recording, zero latency hardware monitoring, and digital mixing.

• 8x8 analog I/O is balanced or unbalanced on 1/4" TRS connectors
• +4/-10 operation, individually switchable on the external rack-mount unit
• S/PDIF I/O on PCI host card
• Word clock I/O
• MIDI I/O
• Includes Windows 95/98, ASIO/ASIO2, Mac, GSIF, DirectX, and Windows NT/2000 drivers

The Delta 1010-LT offers all of the interface features you need to record music on your computer, including: eight analog inputs and outputs, including 2 XLR microphone inputs with preamps, S/PDIF I/O, and wordclock I/O. Audio from a variety of sources can be connected to the 1010-LT inputs, and the comprehensive Delta Control Panel software can set and even fine-tune the input line level. Input 1 & 2 on XLR jacks can be set to receive a balanced line or a mic level signal, eliminating the need for an outboard mic preamp. The S/PDIF input will interface with gear from pro DAT players to CD, DVD, or Minidisc, and offers control over the SCMS copy protection control.

The Delta 1010-LT outputs can be connected to an external mixer or sound system, while the S/PDIF outs feed your digital mixdown deck. The Delta Control Panel Software also controls a hardware mixer embedded in the PCI card, giving still more routing and mixing control. Use the MIDI I/ for your controllers and modules, and connect to wordclock-capable devices for rock solid sample clock synchronization.

Recordings are often put together one track at a time (a guitar solo here, a vocal there) as opposed to being all tracked simultaneously. As a result, many musicians decide to choose an audio card with fewer Ins and more Outs rather than spending money on a lot of Inputs they may never use. The Delta 410's 4-in/10-out configuration is created with type of recording approach in mind. The multi-output card is often combined with an analog mixer, allowing a computer-based recording system to behave more like a traditional analog one. Recording inputs are quickly routed to the same inputs of the soundcard via a patchbay or mixer. Outputs are sent to mixer channels or analog effects devices, allowing for an "analog studio" style configuration where signal are bussed to and from a mixer in the analog domain.

Professional digital transferring and mastering have never been as affordable and easily accessible as they are now with the Delta DiO 2496. With a host of pro features, the Delta Dio 2496 is ready for any and all optical and coaxial S/PDIF applications. Besides sporting dual format digital I/O (optical on TOSlink connectors, coaxial on gold-plated RCA connectors), the Delta Dio 2496 also provides a high-quality D/A converter which may be used for monitoring or mixdowns. All data paths support 24-bit 96kHz operation, and the D/A output channels are completely independent of the digital output channels; making the Delta DiO 2496 a 2-in/4-out full-duplex card. Finally, the Delta DiO 2496 offers onboard digital mixing and routing, monitor control, SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) output on S/PDIF, and even multi-platform operation.

The Audiophile 2496 is an all-in-one high-fidelity soundcard solution for a wide variety of applications, ranging from multitrack recording to computer-based home theater. Analog I/O is available on RCA jacks, utilizing the same professional 24-bit, 96kHz conversion as the Delta 44 and Delta 66 cards. S/PDIF I/O and MIDI I/O provide connectivity to both digital devices, and the world of MIDI. You can also utilize the S/PDIF I/O for DVD surround sound playback with an external decoder.

The long-awaited Lagoon fills the need for a high-performance ADAT optical I/O card, but with several twists. First, the card supports ADAT optical and S/PDIF optical I/O with wordwidths up to 24 bits and sample rates up to 96kHz. Secondly , "mixed modes" of operation are available in which the Lagoon offers ADAT input and S/PDIF output, or S/PDIF input with ADAT output. This allows for mixed mode transfers and mastering direct from ADAT to S/PDIF. ADAT sync is provided, and when not in use can alternately be configured as a MIDI interface. As an added surprise, the Lagoon card also harbors a virtual analog synthesizer that runs on Lagoon's built-in DSP. Capable of duplicating hundreds of retro sounds from the era of vintage analog synths, this virtual synth adds an element that will surely spice up your music-making arsenal.
