APOGEE DA-8-IFC 8-CHANNEL DtoA INTERFACE CABLE

DB25 to 8 x XLR Male. This cable delivers eight channels of analog output from the Apogee AP-8DA
Yamaha card. Also suitable for use with the DA-16 (quantity 2 required for 16 channels), and the Trak2
or AD-8000 8-channel DAC cards. The wiring is the same as the analog output from a Tascam system
such as the DA-88. Alternatives are available from Tascam, Hosa and others.

The Apogee X-Digi-Mix expansion card allows for direct connectivity between
Pro Tools Mix systems and the Rosetta 200 or Rosetta 800. The X-Digi-Mix
card provides superior quality conversion to Pro-Tools Mix users without the
need for an additional interface, and effectively extending the life of their Mix
systems for years to come.

Features:
* Standard Digidesign peripheral connector for interfacing directly to Mix Core
  or Farm cards.
* Superclock (FSx256) output for convenient integration into existing Pro Tools
  configurations.
* With necessary Pro Tools hardware expansion, multiple Rosetta-800s may be
  connected into a system.
* Rosetta 800 may be used alongside an Apogee AD-8000 or Trak 2 outfitted with
  an AMBUS-Digi8+ card as well as any other Pro Tools Mix-compatible hardware.
* Multiple slaved Rosetta 800s may lock to Word Clock or directly to the Digi-mix 
  card for low jitter synchronization of the Pro-Tools system.
