Delta 44 Quick Start Guide
The M-Audio Delta 44 is a high grade professional sound card. When setup properly for use with the SDR-
1000, the results speak for themselves. Unbelievably high dynamic range and crystal clear audio with this
card when combined with the versatile SDR-1000 results in an ear pleasing experience that is out of this
world.
This page is designed to help you setup your new Delta 44 sound card for use with the SDR-1000. Below you
will find a step-by-step guide (7 steps) along with tips for getting the fastest support. If you have questions
that are not addressed in this guide, the
[Flexradio] Email Reflector
and the
Teamspeak Server
are available
for fast, friendly support.
CAUTION:
It is extremely important to use the settings in the Delta Control Panel as described below in order
not to damage the SDR-1000 hardware due to overdriving the audio. Make sure the output is set to -10dBv
as shown in the screenshots below. The software will attempt to ensure this setting is in the right position on
startup.
The OEM version of the Delta 44 that FlexRadio ships comes with three components: A PCI card, the
"breakout" box, and a cable to connect the two. We optionally provide the necessary cables to connect the
sound card to the SDR-1000 (called Hosa Cable Set).
PCI Card
Step 1: Install the PCI card
While a complete discussion of installing PCI cards is outside the scope of this quick start guide, there are
many resources available on the web just using a google search. For more specific help, use the support
methods mentioned above.
