Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized M-Audio dealer

The Delta 1010 stands at the forefront of digital audio's evolution, making available a level of performance previously unattainable. Unrivaled in its integrity, the Delta 1010 shores up what used to be the Achilles' heel of any computer-based system: the transfer and conversion of audio between the outside world and the computer. With 24-bit 96kHz bandwidth and expansive flexibility, the Delta 1010 boasts 8 balanced or unbalanced analog I/Os, S/PDIF I/O, Word Clock I/O, and MIDI I/O to guarantee connectivity in any installation. To ensure that your audio is not compromised by your computer's internal noise, the Delta 1010's converters reside in a rock-solid, external, rack-mountable chassis. The power transformer is even located outside of the chassis to further secure the absolute transparency of your audio.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great Addition to the Home Studio"

Sound: Without question the Delta 1010 provides a clean and true A/D conversion. Upgraded my setup with an Allen and Heath mixer for its good preamps and this was worth the cost, but then again this adds quite a bit to the total cost to upgrade to the 1010. The Allen and Heath is perfect for the 1010 becuase its preamp direct outs go right to the 1010. Like others I'm probably going to add another 1010 to take advantage of all 16 preamps on the mixer. For vocals using a Focusrite preamp, works excellent as well. Feature: Its lack of control features is great since they are not needed. Plug your amplified signals right in. I use a small, cheap Yamaha mixer for all monitoring and Cakewalk Home Studio playback (Delta 1010 1/2 outs to Yamaha and all other mixing boards or inputs go there as well, send it all to a headphone amp, no latetency problems at all). Ease of Use: Nothing to it. The included M-Audio program allows you to control the volume of your studio monitors. Quality: Rock solid. No excessive heat. Accidentally dropped it and I guess I got lucky cause nothing happened to it. Value: Very good. I only gave it a 9 because I'm waiting for their next generation products that will no doubt be even better! Manufacturer Support: Not used. The Wow Factor: Must have for my setup, recording four piece band. Overall: If it broke I would go buy another one right away!

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Happy Customer"

Sound: The sound is right on the money- no issues here at all. The converters seem to live up to their reputation. I cannot speak as highly of the MIDIMAN USB Quattro, which did have a few small issues. Feature: The control panel is a bit sparse, but now that I understand it I really do admire it's simplicity. I wish the MIDI ports were on the back of the unit but I can't complain there because I have the USB MIDISPORT 8x8 for MIDI connections anyway. Quality: I have had no quality issues with this unit. It works exactly as advertised and has made me a happy camper. I may purchase a second unit- you may run out of input ports quicker than you think because of stereo pairs. Value: It's the best bargin out there- although if I had realized I was going to need more inputs I might have looked at the MOTU offerings closer. Also, in this shifting era, one might now begin to look at offerings that include lightpipe, spdif, and 193 Khz ability if you really want to look to the future. Manufacturer Support: I rated them an 8 but I've never had to contact them. Product works as advertised. The Wow Factor: Looks like I'll be buying a 2nd unit to allow for all the inputs I have. Overall: I really like this unit. It has never given me any problems. I do sometimes wish it had more LEDs on the front for that "cool" factor, but hey this device does the job and in my DAW, it is the heart of everything that happens.

Style of Music: Classical and 60s
