The Super DAC 2496 (£249) is an external box containing 24/96‑capable D‑A converters with a claimed 115dB dynamic range on balanced XLR and unbalanced quarter‑inch jack outputs, fed from AES‑EBU, co‑axial S/PDIF, or optical S/PDIF inputs. The Delta DiO 2496 PCI card (£219) provides both co‑axial and optical digital inputs (either but not both at once), along with simultaneous co‑axial digital, optical digital, and 24/96 analogue outputs for monitoring purposes (see box for more details). The Delta 66 (£349) is the closest to the Dman 2044, as it also has four analogue ins and outs mounted in a similar external breakout box, though it adds S/PDIF I/O, and its converters are 24‑bit/96kHz‑capable. The entire range is 24‑bit/96kHz‑capable and designed from the ground up for high‑quality audio, while still keeping prices competitive. The M Audio product line not only has a different name, but a smart new logo and sophisticated black/silver look as well.
While this philosophy is still being used in their colourful range of MIDI Interfaces (BiPort 2x4s, USB Midisport 2x2) and accessory mixers (the Audio Buddy dual mic preamp and Multimixer 10 mini‑mixer), a completely different approach is being used with their new and rather more upmarket range. For example, they were virtually the only company to see that many musicians wanted more channels than were provided by a stereo soundcard, but couldn't afford most 8‑in/8‑out solutions, so they launched the Dman 2044. Midiman have always been the sort of company who would spot gaps in the market and develop their products to fill them. Martin Walker takes a look at the flagship product in their new line. For more information please call 01462 480000 or visit the launch of their new range of 24‑bit/96kHz‑capable PCI recording systems, established gadget manufacturers Midiman are going under the name M Audio. Solid State Logic is distributed in the UK by Sound Technology Ltd.
#Delta audio studio review full
The full review can be found on the Audio Media International website or by clicking here. "The Matrix feels like a ‘proper’ SSL desk and the sonic signature should be familiar to those who use the Duality, AWS, and Sigma consoles." This may not seem important, but it’s likely that an engineer is going to clock hundreds of hours at the console, so user comfort is essential…” "The first noticeable physical change in the latest Matrix is the colour and feel of the parts of the desk you’re going to be resting your hands on - it’s now a nice rubbery soft touch. "The Matrix² Delta features the same 16 channel, 40 input ‘SuperAnalogue’ line mixer and 16 fader DAW controller as its predecessor, but SSL has upgraded the desk to make it even more useful for today’s production workflow." New δelta control automates your console within your DAW like a plug-in. It is the most elegant solution available today for those who wish to incorporate the sonic advantages of SSL summing and a collection of boutique analogue mic pre's & processors into their DAW centred studio workflow. Matrix2 is the ideal console/controller for your hybrid production studio.
".if you want to have the SSL ‘sound’ in a small format console, with flexible expandability, DAW control and 32 input summing and mixing, the Matrix could be your ideal solution."
