Typical Delta DiO Setup
Now that we’ve visited the wondrous intricacies of the Delta Control Panel, let’s
look at a setup that involves a typical transfer of information from DAT to comput-
er and back to DAT.
NOTE: Because improper connections can potentially make very
loud noises, it’s a good idea to have monitor levels down while
hooking up audio equipment -- you may even choose to turn your
computer off before making the connections.
In this example, we will connect a DAT to the Delta DiO card using coaxial S/PDIF
cables (typically, 75 ohm). We’ll also connect the DiO’s analog outputs to a sound
system for monitoring purposes. A setup like this might be used to transfer a num-
ber of mixes from a DAT into an audio editing program, performing the appropriate
edits, and then transferring the edited material back to DAT.
The example below may at first look long and laborious, but you will find that most
of the settings are factory defaults and will rarely need to be modified.
