2003년 NAB Show에서 최초로 선보인 Apogee사 최신의 Multi-channel converter인 Rosetta 800은 기본 96kHz, optional 192kHz sampling rate을 지원하며, Apogee만의 자랑인 "Softlimit", "UV22HR", "intelliclock" 기능을 갖춘 장비로 특히 Optional Card로 Firewire를 지원하고 있어 중,저가대의 DAW를 사용하고 있는 Project Studio등에서 적은 비용으로 High-definition Professional Quality로 Upgrade가 가능한 장비이다.

The Next-Generation Sound Quality of the AD-8000 for the Price of a Multi-channel Rosetta.


Connect the ROSETTA 800 directly to your Symphony system, Pro Tools HD, or to any Native DAW via the
X-FireWire card

The ROSETTA 800 takes two of Apogee's most celebrated products 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 192k, Apogee´s “SoftLimit”, “UV22HR”, and our 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.

Legendary Apogee Conversion in High-Definition
The most crucial process in the digital recording environment is high-quality analog to digital conversion and the most trusted and desirable converters are made by Apogee. With up to 192k standard sample rates, the ROSETTA 800 combines Apogee's legendary conversion quality with flexibility that complements any digital audio workstation.

Symphony Connection
Either with the Symphony PCIe card and the extremely powerful Mac Pro or the Symphony Mobile card with the portable yet powerful Mac Book Pro, the Rosetta 200 and 800 make a great front end for your Symphony system when only a few channels of I/O are needed.The great thing is that you can expand later by adding another Rosetta, or by adding from the AD-16X and DA-16X series converters.

Pro Tools HD or Native FireWire connection
Like the all new generation Apogee hardware, 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 with the “ X-HD ” card, or connect to any native DAW using the “ X-FireWire " card.

Intelliclock: Dual Stage Jitter Reduction
Another essential for outstanding digital recording is maintaining an ultra-low-jitter, clock signal. To accomplish this, ROSETTA 800 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.

UV22HR: Dither Down with 24-bit Detail
UV22HR is Apogee´s industry standard technology for reducing the word-length of a high-resolution digital signal to 16 bits for the Internet and CD mastering. UV22HR is also being employed to produce dramatically improved Internet and computer audio content without increased file sizes or data rates.
