For over a dozen years, Apogee Electronics has set the

standards in digital audio. From the ﬁrst high-deﬁnition

ﬁlter designs to the latest high-end, high-resolution, high

sample-rate converters, Apogee has led the ﬁeld.

For our next products, we decided to set our engineer-

ing department some new and challenging goals. They

were to design a new line of conversion products

especially for the project studio owner. It should be made

available at a lower price point, but without risking the

quality—there was no way would we consider compromis-

ing the unique sound of an Apogee converter simply to

meet a price.

The result is Apogee's new S

analog to digital converter.

The Rosetta AD is a 24-bit analog to digital converter

with all the most common digital interfaces—AES/EBU,

ADAT, TDIF and S/PDIF—included as standard.

The feature set of the Rosetta AD has been carefully

tailored to project studio requirements. You

won't pay for extensive features you'll

never use: we carefully researched

exactly what facilities you need and

expect from an outboard A/D

converter... and deliver them

in an affordable, compact,

1U rack-mount package.

The Rosetta AD at a glance

• High quality Apogee 2-channel 24-bit A/D conversion

at an affordable price.

• 44.1/48 or 44.1/48/88.2/96kHz versions

• Ideal for project studio recording and mastering to

DAT, MO or modular digital multitracks

• 2xAES/EBU, S/PDIF, ADAT, TDIF interfaces

• UV-22HR Improved high-resolution word-length

reduction to 16 and 20 bits

• Pro/consumer levels, balanced/unbalanced

• User-deﬁned over indication

• Simple to operate, stylish front panel

• Easy-to-read bar-graph metering.

inputs operating at pro or consumer levels, balanced or

unbalanced. The highest quality Apogee 24-bit conversion

drives two AES/EBU outputs so you can feed two

machines at once. In addition, ADAT, TDIF, and S/PDIF

coax/optical interfaces are all built-in, for the absolute

maximum in quality and ﬂexibility!

Choose the standard version, with 44.1/48 kHz sample

rates; or go for gold with the 96 kHz version, offering 44.1,

48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sample rates. You can even upgrade

from one to the other.

The panel of the Rosetta AD is designed for quick and

easy operation. Every function has its own control, clearly

labeled to avoid confusion. The metering features easy-to-

read bar-graph LEDs with oversize "over" indicators—and

you can determine how many consecutive digital full-scale

samples constitute an over.

ﬁnd it the perfect future-ready tool for translating analog

signals to digital—without compromise—at a price you

can afford.

The quality of Apogee converters is the foundation of

our reputation. We just made it easier to own one.

UV22HR—New & Improved

Although the Rosetta offers 24-bit resolution, there

are still plenty of applications that don't need—or allow—

that level of resolution. CD, DAT and MDMs are still gen-

erally 16-bit, or 20-bit at most.

Our solution: UV22HR, the latest "high resolution"

development of our industry standard UV22 word-

length reduction system, used on most top US CD

releases. UV22HR preserves even more of the orig-

inal resolution than before. You enjoy the true

theoretical noise ﬂoor at your chosen word

length, but, like analog, you can hear signiﬁcant

extra detail below the noise. UV22HR makes digital

sound more like analog—without the drawbacks.

What's In A Name?

The Rosetta Stone,

discovered by Napoleon's

soldiers in Egypt in the

18th century, provided

the key to translating

the mysterious hiero-

glyphs of the Ancient

Egyptians. In the

same way, Apogee's

Rosetta AD is the key

to ﬂawless translation of

analog signals into

multiple digital formats.

The Rosetta AD includes all

the most common standard

industry digital interfaces—

ADAT, TDIF, AES/EBU and

S/PDIF (optical and coax).

It's the ideal front-end for all

your digital gear, from CD

and DAT recorders to

modular digital multitracks;

from computers to video

editors (see below).

Interfacing your present or

future gear is a snap!
