Due to the success in overseas markets, the M-Audio division of Midiman Inc. is now shipping the Delta 410 audio interface to North and South American markets. The Delta series are fully expandable, universally compatible PCI-based analog and digital audio cards for the Macintosh and PC platforms. The Delta 410 is an audio recording and playback solution for home studio multi-tracking and multi-channel playback.

The Delta 410 functions as a 4-input, 10-output digital recording/playback interface. Two analog inputs and eight analog outputs plus coaxial S/PDIF I/O provides you the highest quality analog (unbalanced) and digital I/O available -- all up to 24-bit data width and any sampling rate from 8kHz to 96kHz. The 8 analog outputs easily accommodate 5.1 to 7.1 surround applications, while the S/PDIF output allows AC3 or DTS to be streamed to an external decoder, making the Delta 410 an ideal computer-based home theatre companion.

The Delta 410 benefits from the extensive driver support for the entire Delta series, which includes Windows XP and Mac OS X drivers as well as full ASIO, EASI, and GSIF support.
