NOTE: Those M-Audio Delta cards use breakout boxes for the I/O and the so called balanced inputs are not truely balanced. We use them for our Abacast stream encoder and we got terrible cross talk until I opened it up to find their trick to make it look balanced when it's not. So we ended up putting 1:1 600ohm isolation transformers in the cable just after the TRS plug. So if you are needing truely balanced inputs, There are plenty of other cards out there that are much better then the M-Audio Delta. It sounds ok now but put my boss (the Dir of Eng) and I through rounds of fits to figure it out for over 2 months.
