“Digital-Thru-Mode”
These days,if you are doing digital, you need
connectivity options. Through Mini-DAC’s
USB port, you can interface directly with
your computer and virtually any DAW via.
However, Apogee has expanded the
advantage USB capability to offer what they
call “digital-thru-mode”. This gives the
option of interfacing non-USB digital
devices with your computer. To use, you
simply set the Mini-DAC’s input selector to
“USB”… connect any two-channel digital
device like Apogee’s Mini•Me,Trak2, or
Rosetta, and you have just USB enabled your
favorite A/D converter and interfaced it
with your computer/DAW. No other
hardware required.
Precision Reference
Monitoring
Are you using a massive mixer just to ride
your monitor levels? Or do you have a great
A/D but inferior D/A? Then make a little
room for Mini-DAC.With comprehensive
level control and a high quality headphone
output you can hear exactly what you are
committing to while recording.And when it
is time to mix down, Mini-DAC provides the
optimum stereo image and the most faithful
analog reproduction of your carefully
recorded digital audio that money can buy.
Mini-DAC is also a great way to optimize
your home audio system.Connect your pre-
mium CD/DVD player to Mini-DAC and
then out to your speakers for a superb sonic
experience that your discerning ears will
appreciate.

48k and 96k 2-Channel A/D Converters
Ideal for project studio recording and mastering, the Rosetta A/D is a 24-bit analog to
digital converter with the most common digital interfaces as standard. Like the Rosetta
Stone, discovered by Napoleon’s soldiers in Egypt in the 18th century which provided
the key to translating the mysterious hieroglyphs of the ancient Egyptians, Apogee’s
Rosetta A/D is the key to flawless translation of analog signals into multiple digital
formats. And, the feature of the Rosetta A/D has been carefully tailored to project studio
requirements—you don’t pay for features you’ll never use.
◆ Analog inputs operate at pro or consumer
levels, balanced or unbalanced. The highest
quality Apogee 24-bit conversion,at
44.1/48 kHz sample rates (standard
version) or 44.1/48/88.2/96kHz, feeds two
AES/EBU outputs so you can feed two
machines at once (44.1/48 kHz version is
upgradeable to 96kHz).
◆ Built-in ADAT, TDIF,and S/PDIF
coax/optical interfaces (two of each)
◆ User-defined over indication
◆ Easy to use front panel. Every function has
its own control,clearly labeled. Metering
features easy-to-read bar-graph LEDs with
oversize over indicators and you can
determine how many consecutive digital
full-scale samples constitute an over.
◆ Soft Limit technology lets you record at the
maximum level without overs,while the
high-resolution UV22HR process lets you
generate flawless 16- and 20-bit masters
retaining as much of the original 24-bit
resolution as possible.
ROSETTA 800
8-channel, 24/96k A-D/D-A Converter (upgradeable to 192k)
The Rosetta 800 takes two of Apogee’s most celebrated products and the latest in
high-definition digital and combines them into one impressive package. The Rosetta
800 gives you eight channels of superior AD/DA conversion at sample rates of up to
192k, Apogee’s “SoftLimit”,“UV22HR”, and their advanced “Intelliclock”. The result is
a premium digital recording solution that is built for the professional recording facility
yet economical enough for the project studio.
All the features of the Rosetta A/D PLUS—
◆ 96k standard and optional 192k sample
rates
◆ Optional Firewire card lets you connect
natively to any Firewire input device,
without additional hardware.
◆ 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.
