Everything You Need... And More.

With the Trak2, you can have everything

you need for a high-quality digital session –

in one compact single-unit rack space. A

superb mic pre; incredible A/D; any inter-

face you need; and behind it, Apogee's leg-

endary name and reputation for the very

highest audio quality available in the indus-

try today.

A superb mic preamp...

At the front of the Trak2 is a discrete micro-

phone preampliﬁer which stacks up favorably

against the best-known mic pres available.

Accessible via rear panel XLRs or the front-

panel universal XLR/

⁄

in connectors, the

sound of this preamp will have you wanting

to use it on every session, analog or digital.

The preamp also accepts hi-Z instrument

inputs at the front panel, for maximum versa-

tility. Just plug an input into the front panel

and it's selected automatically.

An insert point is included to provide an

analog output or to allow the insertion of

analog processors into the Trak2 signal path.

...An incredible A/D

From the analog stage, the signal passes to

The Trak2's innovative interface marks a new departure for Apogee. Instead of many multi-function buttons, a single Delta-wheel and cursor

controls allow you to navigate an interactive menu system that provides status and conﬁguration information quicky and intuitively.

Apogee Trak2

the very latest in A/D conversion technology

from Apogee's award-winning engineering

design team.

The 2-channel, 24-bit A/D operates at

44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz with a dynamic

range in excess of 117 dB and an overall level

of quality exceeding that of systems costing

several times the price.

The A/D also includes Apogee's renowned

Soft Limit process, which maximizes record-

ing level without overs; and the return of

Apogee's unique Soft Saturate system, which

simulates analog tape compression. Either

feature can be switched in and out on one or

both channels.

Maximum Interface Versatility

Two Apogee Multimedia Bus (AMBus) slots

are provided in addition to the built-in AES-

S/PDIF output, enabling the Trak2 to connect

to a wide variety of industry standard inter-

faces including Digidesign's Pro Tools, ADAT,

TDIF, SDIF-II, SSL HiWay, and others, with

new cards being added all the time. Many

cards support Apogee Bit-Splitting, which

enables you to use standard 44.1/48, 16-bit

recorders to store 20-, 24-bit, and even 96

kHz signals.

The Trak2 features the latest version of the

and virtually remove jitter. Also included is

the latest incarnation of Apogee's industry-

standard UV22 system for digital word-length

reduction, UV22 HR (High Resolution), which

takes a high-resolution digital signal and

reduces the word-length to 16 or 20 bits for

CD or DVD-V mastering and Internet applica-

tions while maintaining 24-bit detail.

The Trak2 includes a special slot for an

optional 2-channel or 8-channel D/A card
