Two Channels of Apogee Conversion!

The Rosetta 200, Apogee’s successor to the PSX-100 and Rosetta AD namesake, delivers the quality of the popular Rosetta 800, in a 2-channel AD/DA solution. Like the Rosetta 800, the 200 features premium Apogee A/D and D/A conversion, 192k sampling rates (standard), optional expansion cards and core Apogee technologies such as UV22HR, and SoftLimit. And while the Rosetta 200 shares much of its feature set with its cousin, it throws in some irresistible extras such as C.O.D.A. (a new processing engine), full channel metering, and MIDI and S/PDIF input and output. Flexibility and features galore make the Rosetta 200 an outstanding option for professional and project studios, mastering engineers, and audio archivists.

Apogee Rosetta 200 at a Glance:
  • Legendary Apogee Conversion in High-Definition
  • Connects Directly to Pro Tools HD and Mix Systems
  • NEW C.O.D.A. Processing Engine for Conversion
  • Intelliclock Dual Stage Jitter Reduction
  • SoftLimit Maximizes Levels, Minimizes Overs


Legendary Apogee Conversion in High-Definition
The most crucial component in the digital recording environment is high-quality conversion and the most trusted and desirable converters are made by Apogee. With up to 192k sample rates, the ROSETTA 200 combines Apogee's legendary conversion quality with flexibility that complements any digital audio workstation.

Connect Directly to Pro Tools HD and Mix Systems
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 and Mix systems.

C.O.D.A.: The NEW Processing Engine for Conversion
Apogee’s reputation for setting the standards in conversion technology is legendary. The areas of analog to digital conversion, digital format conversion and bit-rate conversion have all progressed forward due to advances in Apogee hardware and software. C.O.D.A., the latest addition to the Apogee arsenal, is the digital engine of the Rosetta 200. C.O.D.A. features format conversion, word length reduction with Apogee’s UV22HR and sample rate conversion; offering the best in real-time bit and sample manipulation available.

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.

INPUTS:
  • Analog In 1-2: Balanced, XLR connectors
  • AES in: x 2, transformer balanced, XLR connectors
  • S/ PDIF In: Toslink and Coax
  • ADAT/SMUX In: Toslink
  • WC In: BNC 75 ohm

OUTPUTS:
  • Analog Out 1-2: Balanced, XLR connector.
  • AES Out: x 2, transformer balanced, XLR connector
  • S/ PDIF Out: Toslink and Coax
  • ADAT/SMUX Out: Toslink
  • WC Out: BNC 75 ohm


Apogee Rosetta 200 Features:
  • 2 channels of premium 24-bit AD/DA conversion
  • Sample rates up to 192kHz with Apogee's "Intelliclock"
  • 2 channels of AES, S/PDIF (coax & optical), and ADAT/SMUX I/O
  • MIDI I/O
  • Optional expansion card for direct connection to Pro Tools HD (X-HD card)
  • Optional expansion card for direct connection to Pro Tools Mix (X-Digi-Mix card)
  • "Soft Limit" for maximum digital level without overs
  • C.O.D.A.; format conversion, word length reduction with Apogee’s UV22HR and sample rate conversion
  • Front panel calibration via trim pots
  • Full channel metering

I did not want to believe the hype like many other items out there,and spend two grand for nothing.But my research kept pointing to Apogee.Once I got my Rosetta I could not believe the difference.I ha... read more [+]ve had good preamp's and mic's going into a digi 002 for some years now.But I never heard them the way I do with the Rosetta.Used on drums I never new my cymbals could sound like that.Shiny sparkly and detailed,without the digital harshness.They instantly sat in the mix.And guitars,wow.SM 57 to Vintech 1272 to apogee to Digi 002.Amazingly smooth tone I never new exsisted,unless it was somebody else,s recording.I am a firm believer you cant go wrong with the Rosetta.Worth every penny!! close [-]

Don't Waste Your Time!

It's a total waste of time to buy high end microphones, mic pres, compressors, etc and then record with them through pro-sumer converters.

Great converters make all the difference in the world, and Apogee definitely makes some nice stuff! close [-]

Worth every penn.... errr dollar!

by yaknski from Spokghanistan, WA
January 22, 2007
Music Background: musician, budding engineer,
Upgraded from a MOTU 828mkII and wow what a difference in sonic quality! Wide, clear, crisp. Even playing a cd through the Rosetta is amazing. I've dealt once with Apogee support (my x-firewire card ... read more [+]was defective) and they were great. I'm pretty sharp, but the installation process, manual layout left a little to be desired for me. It did have a learning curve for me at first, not as simple as the MOTU was, but once you've been around the unit it gets easier. I really think the manual's totally suck for user friendly operation and installation info (luckily I called Stephen Hawking and he explained the whole deal to me).
If you are wanting to upgrade your studio's sound, definitely start here, it's worth the money! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
