Apogee Introduces the ROSETTA 200, 2-Channel, 192kHz AD/DA converter
NAB Convention, Las Vegas, NV, April 15, 2004 – This week
at NAB Apogee Electronics introduced the Rosetta 200, the latest addition
to a new generation of Apogee converters. The Rosetta 200 is a 2-channel
version of its cousin the Rosetta 800 but offers the new and unique “CODA,
Audio Finishing Module”, a trio of tools designed specifically to
meet the demands of the hi-definition digital. Along with CODA, the Rosetta
200 features MIDI support, and full channel metering.
Rosetta 200’s CODA is a trio of tools that includes, Apogee’s
Aptomizer, a Level Normalizer, Sample Rate Conversion (SRC), and UV22HR,
Apogee’s legendary dithering technology. With CODA and premium Apogee
conversion, the Rosetta 200 provides an end-to-end solution for capturing
and maintaining the integrity of high-resolution audio. “The Rosetta
200 is a really exciting offering for us because it responds to two main
requests from our customers. One request was to make the latest and greatest
Apogee technology available in a 2-channel AD/DA solution and the other
was to provide specific processing for hi resolution digital which the
Rosetta 200 has in CODA.” Says Betty Bennett, Co-Founder and CEO
of Apogee.
The Rosetta 200 has other appealing features like an expansion card slot
for Apogee’s new X-Series cards which facilitate direct connection
to Pro Tools HD and Mix (X-HD and X-Digi-Mix cards) as well as a direct
FireWire connection that supports S800/S400 standards (X-FireWire card).
