Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Delta 1010 ADAT Interface, designed and manufactured by M Audio. The Delta 1010-AI is a companion to the Delta 1010 PCI Recording System, and when used together, the Delta 1010-AI will add ADAT Optical 8-channel input and output capability to your Delta 1010. Please follow the instructions contained in this manual to properly connect the Delta 1010-AI to your existing Delta 1010 setup, and to completely understand the versatility of the Delta

Your setup should look like this: NOTE: If you are using your Delta 1010 solely for optical transfers and do not need A/D or D/A capability, it is not necessary to connect the Delta 1010 rack mount unit. However, synchronization via MTC may be desired, and your Delta system will lose its MIDI function without the rack unit (see section, “Synchronizing Your ADATs”). Hooking Up Your ADAT Optical Device TOSLink is the name of the standard for optical cables, plugs, and jacks. Using two good quality

4. Plug the other end of the second optical cable into the TOSLink input jack of your ADAT or other 8-channel optical capable device. If you are using a single ADAT for this example, your setup should look like this: Using Your Delta 1010-AI Adding the Delta 1010-AI to the Delta 1010 Recording System gives you the ability to convert your Delta’s 8 analog inputs into one ADAT Optical input and its 8 analog outputs into one ADAT Optical output. Your Delta 1010-AI and the Delta 1010 rack mount uni

Any device that transmits or receives the ADAT optical format may be used with the Delta 1010 ADAT Interface. Many digital mixers use this ADAT “standard” 8-channel format, as do other computer interface cards. The audio you wish to transfer may come from or go to devices such as these. The Delta 1010-AI Block Diagram below gives you an overview of the signal flow possible with your Delta 1010-AI. As shown, with all of the Delta 1010-AI’s switches in the “Off” position, the Delta 1010 PCI ca

ADAT to Host: When “ADAT to Host” is enabled, the ADAT Optical input of the Delta 1010-AI becomes hardware inputs one through eight of the Delta 1010 Recording System. When this mode is selected, the 8 analog inputs on the Delta 1010 rack-mount unit are no longer routed to the Delta 1010 PCI card. In your music recording software, software inputs 1 through 8 will then receive their signal from the ADAT Optical input. Select this mode when recording an ADAT Optical signal into your computer. I

Analog Ins to ADAT: When “Analog Ins to ADAT” mode is enabled, the analog inputs 1 through 8 on your Delta 1010 rack mount unit are routed through the rack unit’s 24 bit A/D converters to the ADAT Optical output of the Delta 1010-AI. Select this mode when you wish to use the A/D converters on your Delta 1010 rack unit to convert the signal directly to ADAT optical. This may be desirable if, when doing your recording onto an ADAT, you find that you prefer using the Delta 1010’s A/D converters. N

Analog Outs,” “Analog Ins to ADAT,” and “ADAT Thru” are the modes that will function independent of the host computer, hence the term “standalone.” The standalone mode functions are also available when the Delta 1010-AI is attached to the computer and the computer is powered on. However, as described in the “ADAT to Analog Outs” section, the Delta control panel master clock must be set to “Wordclock” in order for the analog outs to receive their clock signal from the ADAT optical input.

Synchronizing your ADATs Using a BRC: You may need to keep your ADAT(s) in sync while transferring audio to the Delta 1010 Recording System. This is made simple using the Alesis BRC, by taking MTC (MIDI timecode) from the MIDI output of the BRC to the MIDI input of the Delta 1010. A digital mixer may have the capability of sending MTC as well. To set the BRC to send MTC: 1. Click the “Edit” button. 2. Click the “Gen Sync” button. 3. Select “MTC,” then de-select “Edit.” ADAT sync is a combinat
