Verifying Delta Control Panel Software
Installation, PC and Mac
In Windows, open the Windows Control Panel (do so via Start | Settings | Control
Panel ). If your Delta 1010 hardware and Delta Control Panel software are
properly installed, the Windows Control Panel should display an "M Audio Delta
H/W" icon. By double-clicking on that icon, you can launch the Delta Control
Panel software. For convenience, you may also create a shortcut on your desktop
by dragging a copy of the "M Audio Delta H/W" icon from the Control Panel to
your Windows desktop using your mouse or trackball. After completing the drag
operation, a dialog box will ask you if you wish to create a shortcut -- click on
'Yes'. Once the shortcut is installed, all you have to do is double-click on the
shortcut icon on your desktop to launch the Delta Control Panel software.
On the Macintosh, the Delta Control Panel may be placed anywhere on your hard
drive, or any partition of your hard drive that you find convenient. Once the
control panel file has been dragged from the CD onto your hard drive, you may
double click it to launch the Delta Control Panel software. You may create an
alias to the control panel by highlighting it, then holding Apple key+M. This
alias can then be placed on your desktop.
NOTE: When using a music software program that is ASIO capable,
launch the Delta Control Panel software from within that program.
Some of the control panel functions will be controlled from within
that program, such as master clock setting and sample rate, so it
is desireable to launch the music program first, and then the Delta
Control Panel from the the program's "launch" or "control panel"
button. Without the music program open however, it is okay to
open the Delta panel from your desktop or other location.

Delta System Basics

Delta's Analog Inputs/Outputs

The Delta 1010 Digital Recording System's analog inputs and outputs are
compatible with a wide variety of audio products. On the external rack-mount
unit, you will find a +4/-10 signal level pushbutton for each analog input and
output. Pushing the button and locking it in the "out" position configures the
channel for use with +4dBu signal levels, compatible with most musical
instruments and professional mixers. Pushing the button and locking it in the
"in" position sets up the channel for -10dBV signal levels, commonly used with
consumer equipment such as CD, cassette tape and DAT players.
NOTE: In order to preserve its high dynamic range and minimize
distortion, the Delta 1010 does not have microphone pre-amplifiers
