There's no more important link in the digital recording chain than the A/D converter that takes your original analog input signal and converts it into digital information. It's as simple as that. The all new Rosetta 800 takes two of Apogee's most celebrated products and the latest in high definition digital and combines them into one impressive package. The Rosetta 800 192k gives you eight channels of AD/DA conversion at sample rates of up to 192k, Apogee's SoftLimit, UV22HR, and the 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.

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 > 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.

Intelliclock > 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 ultralow jitter write clock writes the data out of the buffer, and is used to clock the converters.

Firewire for Connectivity > Rosetta 800 has room for expansion. With the optional X-Series Firewire card installed, you'll be able to connect the Rosetta 800 natively to any Firewire input device, without the need for additional hardware.
