1. Coaxial S PDIF Input This RCA connector allows Delta 1010 to receive a stereo S PDIF signal from any device with a coaxial RCA S PDIF digital output such as a DAT machine MiniDisc player or external A D converter NOTE The S PDIF Input is only available when Delta 1010 s Master Clock source is set to S PDIF or Word Clock Coaxial S PDIF Output This RCA connector lets you send a stereo S PDIF signal to any device that can receive a coaxial RCA S PDIF signal such as a DAT recorder MiniDisc recorder or external D A converter Host Cable connector Use the supplied Host Cable to connect this jack to the Host Cable Connector 8 on the rack mount portion of the Delta 1010 interface Delta 1010 User Guide IMPORTANT Do not connect the PCI Host Adapter card to the rack mount chassis when your computer is powered on Doing so may damage the interface Only connect or disconnect the PCI card and rack mount unit when your computer is powered off IMPORTANT The Host Cable connector features a 25 pin jack that looks like the parallel printer port connection found on some computers If your computer has a parallel port be careful not to confuse these two connectors and do not attempt to connect the PCI Host Adapter card to anything other than the rack mount portion of the Delta 1010 interface Doing so may damage the interface The PCI Host Adapter card and rack mount portion of the interface are co2. jacks accept line level signals from any balanced TRS or unbalanced TS device The sensitivity of each input can be configured using the 4 10 switch 11 to the left of each input Analog Outputs 1 8 OUTS These eight 1 4 jacks output balanced line level signals for monitoring mixing or processing with external devices The sensitivity of these outputs can be configured using the 4 10 switch 11 to the left of each output Note that these balanced outputs are fully compatible with unbalanced devices as well Delta 1010 User Guide _ Signal Level 4 10 Switch This button sets the operating signal level for each analog input and output channel When this switch is in the out position its associated channel will operate at the professional 4dBu standard when the switch is pressed the channel will operate at 10dBV About the 4 10 button The 4dBu standard is used by most mixers preamplifiers and other professional audio devices with balanced outputs Devices with unbalanced outputs commonly use the 10dBV standard If you re not sure about the operating level of a device you ve connected to your Delta 1010 refer to the device s user manual Power Jack 9V AC Connect the supplied 9V AC power supply to this jack IMPORTANT Do NOT connect a DC power supply to this jack Doing so may damage the interface Delta 1010 requires a 9V AC supply with at least 3 ampere capability PCI Host Adapter Card
