The Apogee Rosetta 200 is a two channel A to D and D to A converter, which uses the same great converters found in the eight channel Rosetta 800. This means the Rosetta 200 has the same great analog-like sound as the Rosetta 800 that is highlighted by a round and forward mid-range. For users looking to use the Rosetta 200 as their mix down converter Apogee developed the CODA: Audio Finishing Module, which includes Apogee's Aptomizer, sample rate converter, and UV22HR. When connected to a professional CD recorder the Rosetta 200 can output dithered, CD ready audio.

The all new CODA: Audio Finishing Module, including the Aptomizer, Sample Rate Conversion (SRC), and UV22HR. As higher definition audio becomes ever-present in the recording process and music continues to be delivered as a product at 44.1kHz/16-bit you need tools to minimize the loss of detail and quality that can be inherent in the course of music production.
To meet these challenges Apogee has developed CODA. Unique to the Rosetta 200, CODA offers a trio of tools that will preserve the integrity of hi-def recordings with a minimal loss of quality. Heading up the CODA threesome is Apogee�s "Aptomizer". With the Apotimizer you can maximize levels with out increasing noise and distortion. Great for recording, and mastering, the Apotimizer's "Learn" mode allows the Rosetta 200 to automatically determine the optimum level, and use it consistently to normalize incoming audio.
Another aspect of CODA is premium sample rate conversion (SRC). In the past, Apogee hardware has not offered sample rate conversion because the results were disappointing but recent advances have made SRC a viable option and now a vital part of CODA. With Apogee's implementation of sample rate conversion you can up or down sample without noticeably affecting the quality of your audio. Apogee's "UV22HR" dithering technology completes the CODA triangle by offering powerful reduction of high-resolution digital audio to 16 bits for the Internet and CD mastering. It is estimated that UV22HR is used on 8 out of 10 commercially released CDs in the U.S. The Rosetta 200 with CODA on board provides an end-to-end solution for capturing and optimizing high definition digital.
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. With either the "X-HD" card or the "X-Digi-Mix" card connect the Rosetta 200 directly to your Pro Tools core card, no other hardware required. FireWire and digital audio are turning pro with Apogee's new X-FireWire card. With the optional FireWire card installed, you�ll be able to connect the ROSETTA 200 natively to any FireWire input device, with near zero latency and without the need for additional hardware. 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. 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.
