M-Audio Delta 1010 10x10 PCI Based Digital Audio System

Delta 1010 10x10 PCI Based Digital Audio System description:

The M-Audio DELTA 1010 10x10 PCI Based Digital Audio System. 10 x 10 24-bit/96kHz full-duplex recording interface for PC and Mac.

The M-Audio DELTA 1010 has a reputation around the world as the top choice in host-based PCI digital audio solutions, the rack-mount Delta 1010 is designed to handle the needs of the most demanding project and professional studios. Superb engineering and ultra-high quality converters deliver fidelity surpassing systems that cost many times more. Multiple inputs accommodate recording numerous tracks simultaneously, including zero-latency monitoring for seamless overdubs. Multiple outs route individual tracks or soft synth/sampler timbres to a mixing console, or directly drive up to 7.1 surround sound systems. The analog outs also remain live for monitoring while mixing or transferring digital signals via S/PDIF. MIDI I/O and Word Clock I/O rounds out everything you need to take advantage of today’s music software. Combine up to four Deltas in your system for a maximum of 32 analog and four stereo S/PDIF inputs and outputs.
