Digital Audio Interface Expressly for Macs!
Apogee introduces Ensemble, a multi-channel digital audio interface designed specifically for use with Apple Macintosh computers. Ensemble is the first and only multi-channel audio interface to be controllable natively within Apple's Logic Pro software, creating a complete, fully integrated professional hardware and software system for audio production on a Mac. Ensemble is the "Logic-al" choice for music production on a Mac!

Apogee Ensemble FireWire Audio Interface at a Glance:
  • Custom engineered to work with new Macs and Logic Pro 7
  • 36-channel simultaneous audio
  • Maestro software for advanced control of Rosetta, AD-16X, and DA-16X

Custom engineered to work with new Macs and Logic Pro 7
Apple and Apogee worked closely to ensure the new Firewire Ensemble not only sets new standards for sound quality and performance but is also a natural extension of Logic Pro 7. Ensemble is the first all digitally controlled, professional audio interface, designed specifically for the Macintosh.

36-channel simultaneous audio
Ensemble features 36 channels of simultaneous audio, including eight channels of Apogee's legendary A/D and D/A conversion, four transparent, digitally controlled 75db mic preamps, eight channels of ADAT I/O, 2 channels of S/PDIF coax and optical I/O, and FireWire connectivity to and from the computer. Ensemble also includes such Apogee's features as SoftLimit, UV22HR, and Intelliclock.

Maestro software for advanced control of Rosetta, AD-16X, and DA-16X

These include multiple low latency mixers, an input and output routing matrix, and a universal control platform for using Ensemble in combination with other Apogee hardware.

 A Must Have!

“This is by far the best audio interface for the Mac Pro period. The only flaw in the whole Ensemble system is the manual and configuring the unit to your system. This did take too long, but once I got it up and running it has been nothing but stellar.
My use is with Final Cut Pro Studio w/Mac Pro 3ghz dual core loaded. The Ensemble makes it easy to balance out my 5.1 monitoring feeding...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "The best FireWire interface you can buy for a Mac. The sound is as beautiful as it looks. I have been using this for close to a year now and the results blow away every other FireWire interface on the planet. This is the choice interface for serious music producers who need pristine audio quality. "
Carson McClain

  "If you want the most versatile, reliable, stable and best-performing FireWire audio interface for your Mac and Logic, choose the Ensemble! Of course, it also works great with most any Core Audio application such as Cubase, Nuendo, or Digital Performer. "
Mike Hammond

  "In a professional studio as well as a home studio there are some very basic things you need: stability of the system, quality components, and reliable tech support. If you are serious about your Apple music system and want to produce the best music possible on a reasonable budget then you need the Ensemble."
Carson McClain
