Ensemble, the first all digitally controlled, professional audio interface designed specifically for the Macintosh. Ensemble features 36 channels of simultaneous audio, including 8 channels of Apogee’s legendary A/D and D/A conversion, 4 transparent, digitally controlled 75db mic preamps, 8 channels of ADAT I/O, 2 channels of S/PDIF coax and optical I/O, and FireWire connectivity to and from the computer.

Maestro at a Glance:

• Control panel for Ensemble, Rosetta 800, Rosetta 200, AD-16X and DA-16X.

• 2 Low latency mixers per connected device

• Complete I/O routing matrix

• Mic preamp controls for Ensemble

• Output/headphone gain controls for Ensemble

Dial it in.

Precision digital encoders give Ensemble users the hands on option to dial in levels and ride mic pre gain more accurately without using a mouse.

The Logical Choice.

Ensemble is the first and only multi-channel audio interface that is fully integrated into Logic Pro. With Ensemble, everything from mic pre and output gain to sample and bit rate selection are controllable from within Logic’s Apogee Control Panel. Ensemble, combined with Logic Pro, is the professional’s, easy-to-use, digital audio work station for the Mac

Rosetta 200

Connect Rosetta 200 directly to your Symphony System, Pro Tools HD, or to any Native DAW via the X-Symphony or X-HD card

Legendary Apogee Conversion in High-Definition

The most crucial process in the digital recording environment is high-quality analog to digital conversion and the most trusted and desirable converters are made by Apogee. With up to 192k standard sample rates, the Rosetta 200 combines Apogee’s legendary conversion quality with flexibility that complements any digital audio workstation.

Symphony Connection

Either with the Symphony 64 PCIe card and the extremely powerful Mac Pro or the Symphony Mobile card with the portable yet powerful Mac Book Pro, the Rosetta 200 will make a great front end for your Symphony system when only a few channels of I/O are needed. The great thing is that you can expand later by adding another Rosetta, or by adding from the AD-16X and DA-16X series converters.

Pro Tools HD Connection

Like the all new generation Apogee hardware, the Rosetta 200 has an expansion card slot that accommodates all Apogee X-Series cards. This gives the Rosetta 200 outstanding connection capability to Pro Tools HD with the “X-HD” card.

Intelliclock: Dual Stage Jitter Reduction

Another essential for outstanding digital recording is maintaining an ultra-low-jitter clock signal. To accomplish this, Rosetta 200 utilizes Apogee’s Intelliclock. Intelliclock is really two clocks in one. A fast-responding ´read´ clock with a wide locking range fills a dedicated FIFO buffer while an ultra-low-jitter ´write´ clock writes the data out of the buffer, and is used to clock the converters.

SoftLimit: Maximize Levels, Minimize Overs

One of the greatest difficulties in digital recording is getting an adequate level without clipping and unwanted distortion. With Apogee’s SoftLimit, you can maximize digital output levels without overs.

UV22HR: Dither Down with 24-bit Detail

UV22HR is Apogee´s industry standard technology for reducing the word-length of a high-resolution digital signal to 16 bits for the Internet and CD mastering. UV22HR is also being employed to produce dramatically improved Internet and computer audio content without increased file sizes or data rates.

Big Ben Master Clock

Timing is everything...

Big Ben, the worlds most revolutionary Master Clock, features Apogee’s legendary clocking technology and much more into one standalone unit. Supporting all sample rates and offering clocking technologies, “C777” and “Adaptive Loop Filtering” (ALF), Big Ben is the most stable, low jitter clock available. Big Ben will synchronize all digital equipment in the recording environment bringing clarity, depth and accuracy to recording and mixing that will be heard immediately.

Providing incredible flexibility with available formats of AES, S/PDIF, Optical, six (6) Word Clock outs and an expansion slot of the X-Video option card, Big Ben will synchronize any studio and provide format conversion simultaneously.

Adaptive Loop Filtering (ALF)

ALF maximizes Big Ben’s clocking ability with an intelligent low pass filter. With the C777 creating all incoming signals into data (1’s and 0’s) Big Ben is able to dynamically compensate for excessive jitter and even improve already acceptable clock signals to levels unattainable until now. No matter what your input looks like, ALF can adapt and overcome all obstacles to create a stable, reliable, low jitter clock source.
