Released in 2002 for around $499.95, the Delta 1010LT was the hugely popular budget version of M-Audio's best-selling Delta1010 rack, offering the same 8 analog inputs/outputs plus S/PDIF and MIDI i/o but all via a breakout cluster cable arrangement costing much less than it's bigger sister 1010 which used an external physical hub/box for the i/o connections. Here's the M-Audio promo & specs...
The Delta 1010-LT offers all of the interface features you need to record music on your computer, including: eight analog inputs and outputs, including 2 XLR microphone inputs with pre amps, S/PDIF in/out, MIDI in/out, and word-clock in/out. Audio from a variety of sources can be connected to the 1010-LT inputs, and the comprehensive Delta Control Panel software can set and even fine-tune the input line level. Inputs 1 & 2 on XLR jacks can be set to receive a balanced line or a mic level signal, eliminating the need for an outboard mic preamp. The S/PDIF input will interface with gear from pro DAT players to CD, DVD or Minidisc, and offers control over the SCMS copy protection protocol.
The Delta 1010-LT outputs can be connected to an external mixer or sound system, while the S/PDIF outs feed your digital mix down deck. The Delta Control Panel Software also controls a hardware mixer embedded in the PCI card, giving still more routing and mixing control. Use the MIDI I/O for your MIDI controllers and sound modules, and finally, connect to word-clock capable devices for rock-solid sample clock synchronisation.
The 1010-LT is part of the Delta series of PCI audio cards, and benefits from years of development and research. No other audio interfaces on the market compete with the sound quality and driver compatibility of the Delta series.
