Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Audiophile 2496. The Audiophile 2496 is

a part of the “Delta” series of digital recording systems and interfaces, designed and

manufactured by M Audio, and therefore benefits from the same solid hardware and

software driver technology as the other members of the Delta series.

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 Audiophile 2496. Once you’re up and running, you will quickly discover the

power and brilliance, both in sound and design, of your new Audiophile 2496.

What’s in the Box?

Your Audiophile 2496 box contains:

•This instruction manual.

•One Audiophile 2496 PCI adapter card.

•One Audiophile 2496 break-out cable for S/PDIF and MIDI connections.

•CD or diskette containing software drivers and Delta Control Panel

software for Windows 98/95/NT and Macintosh OS 8.5.1 or higher.

About the Audiophile 2496 Digital Recording Interface

with MIDI

The Audiophile 2496 gives you stereo (or dual mono) analog inputs and outputs,

plus coaxial S/PDIF digital inputs and outputs for a total of 4 ins/ 4 outs of high

quality audio I/O. All audio channels support 24-bit data width and any sampling

rate from 8kHz to 96kHz. The Audiophile is compatible with all major software

programs running on PC and Macintosh computers. The coaxial digital outputs are

Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound capable, making the Audiophile the perfect “high-

end” sound card for digital recording, analog or digital transfers, mixing and

mastering, as well as DVD and home theatre applications.

Connect a line-level signal from your instrument, mixer or pre-amp, or use the

record outputs of your stereo receiver into the Audiophile’s analog RCA jacks

located on the PCI card. Record a digital audio signal from your DAT, MiniDisc,

CD, or external A/D converter via the Audiophile’s coaxial S/PDIF input located on

the break-out cable. Control all routing and hardware settings with the Audiophile’s

comprehensive Delta Control Panel software.

The Audiophile 2496’s break-out cable also includes MIDI I/O connectors.

Provided are one input and one output for use with external MIDI equipment, such

as sound modules and drum machines. The MIDI I/O may also be used to

synchronize your computer to external devices via MIDI time code.

Within the Audiophile’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. The Delta Control Panel also lets you manipulate copy protection

and other status bits in the S/PDIF output signal. In addition it allows you to

configure the Audiophile’s internal clock as a master, or slave it to an incoming

S/PDIF sample rate.

Quick Guide to Getting Started

Here is what is required to get your Audiophile 2496 up and running:

1. Physically install the Audiophile 2496 card in your computer and connect the

provided break-out cable (see ‘Hardware Installation’).

2. Start Windows and allow Windows’ Plug-and-Play to prompt you for the

Audiophile 2496 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 Audiophile 2496 as its

active audio device (see ‘Using the Audiophile 2496 with your Software

Application’ and also your software application’s manual).

5. Hook up your digital and analog audio gear (see ‘Audiophile 2496 Recording

Tutorials’). Configure your Delta Control Panel software for proper monitoring

and playback.

Hardware Installation

To mechanically install the Audiophile 2496, 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 Audiophile 2496 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 Audiophile 2496 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 Audiophile 2496 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. Fasten the Audiophile 2496 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 Audiophile 2496 break-out cable to the PCI card that

you have just installed. Never attach the break-out cable with the computer turned

on. Doing so could damage the PCI card and/or computer, and void your warranty.

Attach the break-out cable to the PCI host card, and secure with the screws that are

molded into the break-out cable.

Audiophile 2496 Driver & Software Installation

The Audiophile 2496 system includes a “Software Drivers CD” (or diskette) for

Windows 98/95/NT and Macintosh, containing all Windows drivers, Macintosh

drivers (including all ASIO drivers), and Delta Control Panel software. Some

Audiophiles may come with drivers on floppy disk instead. If so, when following the

driver installation procedures outlined below, substitute your computer’s floppy drive

letter for the CD’s drive letter. To install on your system, please follow these steps:

then click OK.

3. An ‘Install From Disk’ dialog will prompt you to copy files from the A:\ drive.

Insert the Driver software CD into your CD ROM drive. Type in the drive letter

of your CD drive (we will assume here that it is D:\) and the path to the Delta

drivers, which will be D:\DeltaSeries\Delta9X. Click ‘Next>’.

4. Windows will start to copy files, with a progress indicator on the screen. Once

this process completes itself, your Audiophile 2496 will be ready for action.

After completion of the driver installation, Windows may require you to restart

Windows. If it does request a restart, remove the Drivers CD from the CD drive and

respond by clicking “Yes”. The system will restart and your Audiophile 2496 is

ready for play.

Windows NT Installation

1. Power up your computer after physically installing the Audiophile 2496 card.

2. Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel and double click on ‘Multimedia.’Click the

‘Devices’ tab, then click the ‘Add’ button.

3. “Unlisted or Updated Driver” will be highlighted at the top of the list. Click OK.

4. The ‘Install Driver’ box will prompt you to insert the driver disk, and the A:

prompt will appear as the path. Insert the Drivers CD into your CD ROM drive.

Type in the drive letter of your CD drive (we will assume here that it is D:\) and

the path to the Delta drivers, which will be D:\DeltaSeries\Delta_NT. Click OK.

5. The “M Audio Delta Interface Card” driver will appear in the Add Unlisted or

Updated Driver dialog box. Click OK.

6. Windows NT will require you to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Choose “Restart Now.” Upon restart, your Audiophile 2496 will be ready for use.

Macintosh Installation

1. Open the System folder on your Macintosh hard drive. In the System folder,

locate the Extensions folder.

2. On you Drivers CD disk, open the Delta Products folder, then the Audiophile

2496 folder. Place the extension file “Audiophile 2496 Driver” in your

Extensions folder by clicking on it and dragging it to the Extensions folder.

3. If you are using a music program that uses ASIO drivers, it will also have an

ASIO folder within the application’s folder. In your Mac Delta Drivers folder

you will find three Audiophile 2496 ASIO drivers. For Cubase versions 4.x, use

the “ASIO2 Delta Audiophile” driver. For Metro, or earlier versions of Cubase,

use the “ASIO Delta Audiophile v3” driver. For any music program that is not

ASIO2 capable, use the “ASIO Delta Audiophile” driver instead (check your

program’s documentation). Place the file “ASIO Delta Audiophile” in your

program’s ASIO folder by clicking on it and dragging it to the ASIO folder.

4. Drag the “DeltaPanel PPC” file onto your Macintosh hard drive. You can run the

Delta Control Panel from any place that’s convenient, though music software

applications that use ASIO will allow you to launch the Delta panel from within

the program. If not, we suggest creating an alias to the control panel by

highlighting it and pressing Command (Apple key)+M. Then, drag the alias to

the desktop.

5. With the Audiophile 2496 PCI card installed, restarting the computer will load

the Audiophile 2496 extension. You will be able to visually see the Delta

extension icon pass by as your system loads extensions.

6. Go to the Apple menu |Control Panel | Sound. You should see the “built-in”

sound icon, plus the Delta icon if your Audiophile 2496 is properly installed. If

your music program does use ASIO, leave the Sound Manager driver set to

“built-in” for both Sound In and Sound Out. If your program does not use ASIO

(check your software’s documentation) and you will be using the Sound Manager

to communicate with your Audiophile 2496, set Sound In and Sound Out to

“Delta.” See the section “Hardware Settings Page” in the Audiophile 2496

“Control Panel Software” section for information on selecting Sound Manger

inputs and outputs. Your Audiophile 2496 is now ready for use.

To configure the Audiophile 2496 for MIDI, you will need to have Opcode’s OMS

(Open Music System) installed first. OMS is provided on the CD that came with the

unit, or it can be downloaded from the Midiman website’s MIDISPORT drivers

page. Opening the OMS 2.3.7 folder and double-clicking on the “Install OMS 2.3.7”

program will install OMS in your system. To install the Delta MIDI driver once

OMS is properly installed:

1. Open the “Delta Products” folder on the driver CD, then the DeltaAudiophile Mac

folder. Locate the “Delta Audiophile OMS Driver.”

2. On your Macintosh hard drive, in your System folder, you will find an “OMS

Folder.” Drag the Delta Audiophile OMS Driver into the OMS Folder.

3. Restart your computer.

To Configure yourAudiophile 2496 MIDI in OMS, go to the Control Panel or Chooser

under the Apple Menu, and make sure AppleTalk is turned off (this is recommended,

although OMS will sense that it is on and prompt you to turn it off). If you are

configuring OMS for the first time, follow these instructions to configure OMS.

1. In the Opcode folder, which you will find on your hard drive, locate the OMS

Applications folder, “then OMS Setup.” Double click on OMS Setup.

2. OMS will inform you that it has not yet been configured. Click OK.

3. The Create A New Studio Setup dialog box now appears. Click OK.

4. The “OMS Driver Search” box asks you to choose the port on which you’ve

attached the Delta MIDI (either Modem or Printer). DO NOT choose a port, just

click “Search.” OMS begins Searching.

5. “OMS Driver Setup” shows the “Delta” MIDI in a list when OMS successfully

finds the driver. Click OK. OMS will now define (shows “Identifying”) the

Delta output port. The “OMS MIDI Device Setup” dialog box will appear

showing the Delta’s output port with a check box to the left of the port, indicating

that the port is enabled. Now click on OK.

6. Next, the “My Studio Setup” appears with a ‘file save’ dialog box over it. You

will now need to save your new Studio Setup before you can assign an

instrument to the Delta’s MIDI output and input. Assign your instrument and

you are done. You may now exit OMS Setup by quitting the application.

Verifying Windows Driver Installation

Windows displays the Audiophile 2496 driver status in the Device Manager page of

the System Properties dialog box. The Device Manager page is opened via the

Windows Start button: select Start | Settings | Control Panel | System | Device

Manager. With the Device Manager displayed, click on the ‘+’ next to “Sound,

video and game controllers” to open a list of devices, the Audiophile 2496 being a

device of that nature. Below is an example view of the Device Manager.

This example shows the M Audio Audiophile 2496 and Midiman Midisport 8x8/S

(another product shown here only as an example) entries in the Windows Device

Manager device list. The Audiophile 2496 is properly installed with no conflicts, as

is the Midisport 8x8/S. If you do not see your M Audio Audiophile 2496 in your

Device Manager in this fashion, please jump ahead to the “Troubleshooting” section

of this manual.
