2. Start Windows and allow Windows’ Plug-and-Play to prompt you for the
Delta 44 drivers via the Add New Hardware wizard. Install drivers and support
software (see ‘Windows Software Installation’).
3. On the Mac, drag the Delta extension to the Extensions folder, and the
appropriate ASIO driver to your application’s ASIO folder. Restart. If not using
ASIO, set the Sound Manager to Delta (see Mac Installation).
4. Configure your digital recording software to use the Delta 44 as its active audio
device (see ‘Using the Delta 44 with your Software Application’ and also your
software application’s manual).
5. Hook up your digital and analog audio gear (see ‘Delta 44 Recording Tutorials’).
Configure your Delta Control Panel software for proper monitoring and playback.
Hardware Installation
To mechanically install the Delta 44, do the following:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Remove the computer’s cover and position the computer so that you may easily
access its PCI slots.
3. Select the PCI slot where you will install your Delta 44 PCI host card. Make
sure the slot is a PCI slot. If you don’t know what “PCI slot” means, check the
owner’s manual for your computer. PCI slots are distinguishable from ISA slots
by being shorter and set back farther from the outside of the computer, however
some newer computers have only PCI slots.
4. Before removing the Delta 44 PCI host card from its protective anti-static bag,
touch the metal power supply case of the computer in order to dissipate any
static electricity your body may have accumulated. You might want to pick up
a grounding wrist strap (available from electronics stores like Radio Shack) if
you want to be doubly sure you aren’t carrying a static charge that could damage
the card.
5. Remove the metal bracket that covers the access hole on the back of the
computer. This bracket is usually fastened to the computer with a single screw.
6. Position the Delta 44 PCI host card over the target PCI slot and fit the card
loosely over it with the card in the upright position. Press the card gently but
firmly downward into the slot until the card is completely and squarely seated
in the slot. If the card seems difficult to seat, a slight rocking motion may help.
7. Screw the Delta 44 PCI host card’s metal bracket down into the screw hole on
the back of your computer using the screw you removed in step 5 above.
8. Place the cover back on your computer.
Now it is time to connect the Delta 44 break-out box to the PCI host card that you
have just installed. Never attach the break-out box with the computer turned on.
Doing so could damage the PCI card, and void your warranty.
