Superb Mic Preamp...
The Trak2’s discrete mic preamp is accessible
via rear panel XLRs or the front-panel uni-
versal XLR/TRS connectors.The sound of
this preamp will have you using it on every
session, analog or digital. The preamp also
accepts hi-Z instrument inputs at the front
panel, for maximum versatility. An insert
point is included to provide an analog output
or to allow the insertion of analog processors
into the Trak2 signal path.

Apogee's award-winning 2-channel, 24-bit
A/D converter operates at 44.1, 48,88.2 and
96 kHz with a dynamic range over 117 dB.
The A/D also includes Apogee's

compression. Both can be switched in and
out on one or both channels.

D/A card with specifications matching those
of the A/D section,turns the Trak2 into a
complete digital audio conversion system
