The 8-Channel Rosetta In High Definition 96kHz!
The all-new Apogee Rosetta 800 takes three of Apogee's most celebrated technologies and the latest in high-definition digital audio 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 96k, plus Apogee's famed "UV22HR", "SoftLimit" 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. Apogee Rosetta 800 at a Glance:
- Apogee quality audio conversion in eight channels at 96kHz
- SoftLimit and UV22HR for level control and bit reduction
- Famed Apogee Intelliclock for ultra-low jitter
Apogee Conversion in High-Definition The most crucial component in the digital recording environment is high-quality A/D conversion. The Apogee Rosetta 800 gives you the most trusted and desirable converters in the studio world. With eight channels of conversion at sample rates up to 96k, the Rosetta 800 combines Apogee's legendary conversion quality with flexibility that complements any digital audio workstation. SoftLimit and UV22HR: studio-standard electronics! One of the greatest difficulties in digital recording is getting an adequate level without clipping and unwanted distortion. Apogee's Rosetta 800 includes SoftLimit to maximize digital output levels without overs. Also standard on the Rosetta 800 is UV22HR, Apogee's renowned technology for reducing the word-length of a high-resolution digital signal to 16 bits - especially valuable for CD mastering. UV22HR is also being employed to produce dramatically improved internet and computer audio content without increased file sizes or data rates. Intelliclock for near-jitter-free audio transfer The Rosetta 800 also features another essential for outstanding digital recording: maintaining an ultra-low-jitter clock signal. To accomplish this, the Rosetta 800 utilizes Apogee's world-famous Intelliclock circuitry. 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. This makes the Rosetta 800 a rock-solid audio transfer device! Firewire for future connectivity Apogee made certain the Rosetta 800 had room for expansion. With the optional Apogee X-FireWire Card you can connect to other FireWire interfaces and daisy-chain them to create an entire system. By extending the bus, the X-FireWire card allows for daisy-chaining of multiple Apogee systems, 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. All this expandability makes the Rosetta 800 an even more important tool in your studio!
