Apogee

Recording System

This competitively priced, high-performance

native DAW is a challenge to the industry

pervasiveness of TDM systems.

Apogee Electronics has unveiled the

Symphony System, perfectly timed with the

rollout of ultra-fast, multi-core Intel-based

Apple Mac Pros

and the state of the art Logic Pro 7.2 DAW

update. The Symphony System is a complete

DAW that offers the greatest number of I/O

channels per card of any CoreAudio compati-

ble digital interface. It is actually the only solu-

tion capable of 96 channels of I/O for Mac

without the need for an expansion chassis. The

system maintains a low CPU load, thus con-

serving the computer's processing power for

plug-ins. Connection between the computer

and the audio hardware is completed via one

high performance balanced cable that is capa-

ble of flawlessly transmitting digital audio

over long distances. And the Symphony

System is a competitively priced package,

Symphony

regardless of the exact configuration.

| FEATURES

The Symphony System is made up of three

components: first, a combination of X-Series

converters (Rosetta Series converters are

equipped with X-Symphony Cards

($195); second, the Symphony PCI Express

(PCI-e) card ($795); and lastly, a compatible

Apple computer (such as the Mac Pro, price

variant upon configuration) running Logic Pro

($999), or any other CoreAudio-based applica-

tion, and optional Maestro software (included

with the Symphony PCI card). A PCI-X version

of the Symphony card is available for earlier

model Mac G5s not supporting PCI-e.

The AD-16X and the DA-16X ($3,495 each)

are Apogee's latest and most advanced con-

version systems. They ramp up Apogee's leg-

endary build quality by incorporating a

redesigned power supply, standard 192 kHz

sampling rates (the C777 clocking technology

found in the Big Ben) and several optional

expansion cards.

The power supply in the AD-16X and the

DA-16X is a specially designed Synchronous

Switching power that works in conjunction

with Apogee's low jitter clock and filtering

technology. It provides better heat and noise

performance and an improved transient

response, thus creating an ideal power system

for first-rate conversion.

The AD-16X incorporates Apogee's classic

SoftLimit and UV22HR features. SoftLimit is

an analog peak limiter that enables the cap-

ture of an additional 4-6 dB of level without

any overs. UV22HR is Apogee's industry

standard bit-reduction/dithering technology

for CD and DVD mastering; UV22HR can also

be used to produce improved Internet and

computer audio content without increased file

sizes or data rates.

The DA-16X incorporates Apogee's elec-

tronically balanced line drivers, which were

originally designed for the Mini-DAC. These
