The Rosetta 200, Apogees successor to the PSX-100 and Rosetta AD namesake,
delivers the quality of the popular Rosetta 800, in a 2-channel AD/DA solution. Like
the Rosetta 800, the 200 features premium Apogee A/D and D/A conversion, 192k
sampling rates (standard), optional Pro Tools HD, Mix and FireWire expansion cards
and core Apogee technologies such as UV22HR, and SoftLimit. And while the
Rosetta 200 shares much of its feature set with its cousin, it throws in some irresistible
extras such as the new, CODA, Audio Finishing Module, full channel metering, and
MIDI and S/PDIF input and output. Flexibility and features galore make the Rosetta 200
an outstanding option for professional and project studios, mastering engineers, and
audio archivists.

Features:
Channels of premium 24-bit AD/DA conversion
Sample rates up to 192kHz with Apogee's "Intelliclock"
2 channels of AES, S/PDIF (coax & optical), and ADAT/SMUX I/O MIDI I/O
Optional FireWire expansion card for compatibility with OS X, and
Windows XP (X-FireWire card)
Optional expansion card for direct connection to Pro Tools HD & Mix systems
(X-HD card, X-Digi-Mix card)
“Soft Limit" for maximum digital level without overs
CODA: The Aptomizer Level Normalizer, Sample Rate Conversion (SRC), and
Apogees UV22HR for superior dither to 16-bit
Full channel metering

channels and up to 8 D/A.

Power and Options...
The Apogee X-Series FireWire Card gives you the power and convenience of a
direct connection to any FireWire equipped computer. The X-FireWire Card uses
an expansion slot in the ROSETTA 800 to give users of Logic, Nuendo and other
popular software the option of amazing sounding Apogee conversion. Using Apple?s
Core Audio FireWire driver for Macintosh and ASIO drivers for Windows, your
hardware options for your DAW are greatly expanded.

eXpandability...
The two ports on the Apogee X-FireWire Card allow you to daisy-chain additional
devices to create an entire system. By extending the bus, the X-FireWire card
allows for daisy-chaining of multiple Apogee systems or compatible peripherals,
and permits the use of multiple FireWire devices by computers with only one port.
The card also passes power through the FireWire ports to allow the powering of
additional devices. (Note: This feature is available for Windows systems only at this time).

Get Connected
With and X-FireWire card installed in an AD-16X, DA-16X, Rosetta 200 or Rosetta 800
you have the power of a professional FireWire connection to your favorite DAW: Logic 7,
Nuendo, Cubase, Cakewalk, Live or virtually any native audio production software.

Low Latency with FireMix
FireMix is a mixer application that allows control and creation of customizable sub-mixes
for low latency performance in the native environment. FireMix features accurate input and
output metering, 16bit fader control, and eight 48bit mix busses with enough DSP headroom
to insure that there are no compromises to the audio quality. FireMix also has customizable
pan control and key modifier user preferences to allow FireMix to operate in the same manner
as your favorite audio application. With FireMix, you will get low latency monitoring, have the
ability to save and recall all of your mixes, group and ungroup master faders all with little to no
impact on your CPU performance.
