3 - PCIe Card & Interfaces

The E-MU 1010 PCIe Card

The E-MU 1010 PCIe card is the heart of the system and contains E-MU’s powerful 

 

E-DSP chip. The powerful hardware DSP on this card leaves more power free on your 
CPU for additional software plug-ins and other tasks.

Important

When the MicroDock is connected to the 1010 PCIe card, the digital I/O on the PCIe 
card is disabled. Use the digital I/O on the MicroDock. 

Connections

EDI Connector

Connects to the MicroDock using the supplied EDI 
cable. This cable provides a a two-way data link 
between the E-MU 1010 and the MicroDock as well 
as supplying power to the MicroDock. 

  

S/PDIF and ADAT on 

the 1010 PCIe card are 
NOT ACTIVE when the 
MicroDock is connected.

S/PDIF Digital Audio Input & Output

RCA phono jacks are standard connectors used for 

 

S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital InterFace) connections. 
Each jack carries two channels of digital audio. 

 

The E-MU 1010 receives digital audio data with word 
lengths of up to 24-bits. Data is always transmitted at 
24-bits. 

S/PDIF digital I/O can be used for the reception and/ 
or transmission of digital data from external digital 
devices such as a DAT external analog-to-digital 
converter or an external signal processor equipped 
with digital inputs and outputs.

The S/PDIF out can be configured in either Profes-
sional or Consumer mode in the Session Settings 
menu. The 1010 PCIe card can also send and receive 
AES/EBU digital audio through the use of a cable 
adapter. 

See “AES/EBU to S/PDIF Cable Adapter”

 for 

details. 

The S/PDIF input and outputs are usable at the 
44.1kHz, 48kHz 88.2kHz and 96kHz sample rates, 
but are disabled for 176.4kHz and 192kHz. The 
word clock contained in the input data stream can be 
used as a word clock source. 

See “System Settings”

.

ADAT Optical Digital Input & Output

  

Important:

 When 

using any type of digital 
I/O such as S/PDIF or 
ADAT, you MUST sample 
sync the two devices or 
clicks and pops in the 
audio will result.

The ADAT optical connectors transmit and receive 8 channels of 24-bit audio using the 
ADAT type 1 & 2 formats. The word clock contained in the input data stream can be 
used as a word clock source. 

See “System Settings”

. Optical connections have certain 

advantages such as immunity to electrical interference and ground loops. Make sure to 
use high quality glass fiber light pipes for connections longer than 1.5 meters.
