M-AUDIO Digital Recording Interface Delta 44 - Manual (Page 21)

VARIABLE SIGNAL LEVELS: The software switches in this section allow the user
to match individual input levels and global (as in ‘all’ or ‘across the board’) output
levels to the operating signal levels of the external audio equipment. Three level
selections are available: +4dBu, ‘Consumer,’ and -10dBV. The ‘+4dBu’ setting is
the least ‘sensitive’ of the three settings, and ‘-10dBV’ the most sensitive. Therefore,
the ‘+4dBu’ setting has the most headroom and can accept the hottest signals of the
three settings.
Consult the user guide of your external audio equipment regarding your equipment’s
line level. If for instance your audio equipment is consumer or semi-pro, and you
find that its input level is a little too hot for the Delta 44’s ‘-10dBV’ setting, try
switching to the ‘Consumer’ setting. Conversely, if your -10dBV gear is receiving
a signal from the Delta 44 that is too hot, try switching the Delta 44’s output levels
from ‘Consumer’ to the ‘-10dBV’ setting.
S/PDIF Page
The Delta 44 card does not support S/PDIF digital I/O (as some other Delta series
cards do). Therefore this page is accessible, yet all of its features are grayed-out for
the Delta 44.
