From the User Manual:
The Delta 1010LT functions as a 10-input, 10-output digital recording/playback interface
with 1x1 MIDI operation. Eight analog inputs and eight analog outputs plus coaxial
S/PDIF I/O give you the highest quality analog and digital I/O available -- all with up to
24-bit data width and at any sampling rate from 8kHz to 96kHz. All connections are located
on two rugged breakout cables, which also include word clock I/O connectors for superior
synchronization between the Delta 1010LT and other word clock capable audio gear.
You can connect your microphone, instrument, mixer, or pre-amp to the Delta 1010LT’s
female XLR jacks or the RCA input jacks to monitor and record incoming audio. You can
also transfer a digital audio to and from your DAT, MiniDisc, CD, or external A/D
converter via the Delta 1010LT’s S/PDIF input and output. The 1010LT also includes the
comprehensive Delta Control Panel software, giving you ultimate control over routing
plus many other Delta settings including master clock selection and S/PDIF copy
protection.
The 1010LT’s XLR jacks will accept balanced mic or line level audio signals, while the
RCA inputs are better suited to unbalanced operation. The XLR inputs can be configured
to accept either microphone level signals or balanced line level signals, accomplished by
setting the jumpers located on the 1010LT PCI card. There are some options to consider,
and since this is a decision you may want to make before installing the PCI card, please
read the section “Setting the Jumpers” that precedes the “Hardware Installation” section.
Finally, line level settings for all inputs and outputs can be controlled via the included
Delta Control Panel software.
Within the Delta 1010LT’s PCI chip is a hardware digital mixer. Controlled by the Delta
Control Panel software, it may handle all of your mixdown needs, give you extra control
of all left, right and stereo levels plus pans, solos, and mutes, or simply give you an
alternate or headphone mix.
