FireWire Expandability For Your Apogee Converter!

The Apogee X-Series FireWire Card gives you the power and convenience of a direct connection to any FireWire equipped computer. The X-FireWire Card uses an expansion slot in the ROSETTA 800 to give users of Logic, Nuendo and other popular software the option of amazing sounding Apogee conversion. Using Apple's Core Audio FireWire driver for Macintosh and ASIO drivers for Windows, your hardware options for your DAW are greatly expanded.

eXpandability...
The two ports on the Apogee X-FireWire Card allow you to daisy-chain additional devices to create an entire system. By extending the bus, the X-FireWire card allows for daisy-chaining of multiple Apogee systems or compatible peripherals, and permits the use of multiple FireWire devices by computers with only one port. The card also passes power through the FireWire ports to allow the powering of additional devices. (Note: This feature is available for Windows systems only at this time).

Get Connected
With an X-FireWire card installed in an AD-16X, DA-16X, Rosetta 200 or Rosetta 800 you have the power of a professional FireWire connection to your favorite DAW: Logic, Nuendo, Cubase, SONAR, Live or virtually any native audio production software.

Low Latency with FireMix
FireMix is a mixer application that allows control and creation of customizable sub-mixes for low latency performance in the native environment. FireMix features accurate input and output metering, 16bit fader control, and eight 48bit mix busses with enough DSP headroom to insure that there are no compromises to the audio quality. FireMix also has customizable pan control and key modifier user preferences to allow FireMix to operate in the same manner as your favorite audio application. With FireMix, you will get low latency monitoring, have the ability to save and recall all of your mixes, group and ungroup master faders all with little to no impact on your CPU performance.
