About the Delta 410 Digital PCI Audio Card
The Delta 410 functions as a 4-input, 10-output digital recording/playback
interface. Two analog inputs and eight analog outputs plus coaxial S/PDIF I/O
give you the highest quality analog (unbalanced) and digital I/O available -- all
up to 24-bit data width and any sampling rate from 8kHz to 96kHz.
You can connect your instrument, mixer, or pre-amp to the Delta 410’s RCA
input jacks located on the breakout cable to monitor and record incoming audio.
You can also record a digital audio signal from your DAT, MiniDisc, CD, or
external A/D converter via the Delta 410’s S/PDIF input, located on the PCI host
card. The 410 also includes the comprehensive Delta Control Panel software,
giving you ultimate control over routing as well as many other Delta settings
such as master clock and S/PDIF copy protection.
Within the Delta 410’s PCI chip is a hardware digital mixer. Controlled by the
included Delta Control Panel software, it may handle all of your mixdown needs,
give you extra control of all left, right and stereo levels, as well as pans, solos,
and mutes, or simply give you an alternate or headphone mix.
