Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Delta R-BUS PCI  Audio Card
designed and built by M Audio.  R-BUS is a 24-bit, 8-channel format created
by the Roland Corporation, and is compatible with R-BUS equipped products
such as Roland’s VM-7000 Series and VM-3100 Pro V-Mixers, VS-2480 24-
track Digital Studio Workstation, VSR-880 Digital Studio Recorder and XV-
5080 128-Voice Synthesizer/Sample Playback Module.
Even if you are experienced in digital recording, please take the time to
read this manual.  It will give you valuable information on installing your
new card and the supporting software, plus help you to fully understand
the function and usability of the Delta R-BUS.
The Delta R-BUS PCI Audio Card is part of the Delta family of audio
devices, and therefore enjoys the benefits of proven Delta technology,
plus advanced and extensive Delta driver development.  Once you’re up
and running, you will quickly discover the power and brilliance in
sound, quality and design, of your Delta R-BUS PCI Audio Card.
R-BUS is a trademark of the Roland Corporation.
What’s in the Box?
Your Delta R-BUS  box contains:
• This instruction manual.
• The Delta R-BUS breakout cable.
• The Delta R-BUS PCI host adapter card.
•Sync cable for internally connecting and synching multiple Delta R-BUS
cards.
• CD or floppy disk containing drivers &  Delta Control Panel software for
Windows 9x/NT/ME/2000 and Macintosh OS 8.5.1 or higher.
•M Audio Warranty Registration card.
About the Delta R-BUS PCI Audio Card
The Delta R-BUS functions as a multichannel digital recording interface.
One standard R-BUS 8-channel connector provides 8 digital inputs and 8
digital outputs when connected to an R-BUS capable device, such as a
Roland digital multitrack machine, or a digital mixing console with
R-BUS I/O. The Delta R-BUS has two channels of analog I/O on RCA
jacks, plus coaxial S/PDIF I/O. The user selects between the Analog and
S/DIF inputs using the supplied Delta Control Panel software, while the
2

output signal is sent to both the  Analog and S/PDIF outputs
simultaneously.
The Delta R-BUS PCI Audio Card gives you the highest quality digital
I/O available -- at up to 24-bit data width at any sampling rate from 8kHz
to 96kHz.  The Delta R-BUS allows seamless transfers between your
computer and R-BUS capable devices, while receiving R-BUS sync. The
Delta R-BUS PCI  Audio Card’s included breakout cable provides the
Analog and S/PDIF input and output connections, plus a BNC
wordclock output. The wordclock out is always active, so that you may
send a digital clock signal for synchronizing the sampling clock on other
digital audio devices.
You can record instruments or a stereo signal to the Delta R-BUS’s Analog
inputs, or record a digital audio signal from your DAT, MiniDisc, CD, or
external A/D converter via the Delta R-BUS’s S/PDIF input.  You can
monitor from the analog output while you record from the S/PDIF
output to a digital mixdown deck such as a DAT.  Last, but not least,
control all routing and hardware settings using the Delta’s
comprehensive control panel software.
Within the Delta R-BUS’s PCI chip is a hardware digital mixer.
Controlled by the included Delta Control Panel software, it may handle
all of your routing needs, give you extra control of all left, right and stereo
levels, in addition to control of pans, solos, and mutes.
