Phil, The 1010LT has 2 balanced XLR inputs and the remainder are unbalanced. I have this one and it is great for what I need. I have a stereo preamp hooked into the XLR inputs. The 1010 appears to have 8 balanced in/out using TRS connectors instead of XLR inputs. I understand that this is a very nice board. Both cards are well supported with ALSA. Good luck. Please post some recordings!! -Joe D On Sun, 2005-02-06 at 18:11, Phil Sexton wrote: > Hi listmembers, > > Looking over the info here: > http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ > > It looks as if the Delta 1010LT has 2 XLR inputs, whereas the Delta 1010 > only has 1/4" jacks. > > http://www.m-audio.com/images/en/callouts/big/delta_1010.jpg > > I have 1" condenser mics (AKG 3000B) which require phantom power.
