With Apogee?s award winning 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 digital interface you need; Trak2 is the best sounding, most flexible digital interface available...anywhere.
A superb mic preamp... At the front of the Trak2 is a discrete microphone preamplifier which stacks up favorably against the best-known mic pres available. Accessible via rear panel XLRs or the front-panel universal XLR/TRS 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 versatility. 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 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 recording 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 interfaces 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 Apogee Ultra-Low Jitter Clock, used to lock the unit to incoming digital or video signals 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 applications while maintaining 24-bit detail.
Add a D/A The Trak2 includes a special slot for an optional 2-channel or 8-channel D/A card with specifications matching those of the A/D section, turning the Trak2 into a complete digital audio conversion system with two A/D channels and up to 8 D/A. Hear the Apogee Difference You?ve never encountered anything like the Trak2 from Apogee Digital. With the sweetest-sounding mic preamp you?ve ever heard, superb 24-bit, 96kHz A/D and optional D/A conversion, interfacing with almost any digital system including a direct connection to Pro Tools... the possibilities are endless.

DB25 to 8 x XLR Female. This cable allows the Apogee AP-8AD Yamaha A/D card to accept eight channels of analog input. Also suitable for use with the AD-16 (quantity 2 required for 16 channels). The wiring is the same as the analog input connector on a Tascam machine such as the DA-88. Alternatives are available from Tascam, Hosa and others. |

The Tascam LA-40 MKIII has been primarily designed to provide matching capabilities between professional equipment and semi-professional or consumer equipment. It consists of four RCA inputs and outputs (–10 dBV, unbalanced) as well as four XLR inputs and outputs (+4 dBu/–20 dBu, balanced) which enable the user to connect for instance four tracks of a multitrack recorder (ins and outs) to a balanced mixer ensuring optimum level and impedance matching. Also, a switch matrix allows channels to be linked, utilizing the converter as a distribution amplifier for splitting signals to multiple recorders, or for multizone sound routing applications.
Switches on the bottom panel allow to select a nominal level of +4 dBu or –20 dBu for each channel and ±12 dB trim pots on the front panel make perfect level matching easy. LEDs on the front panel indicate signal presence for each channel. The LA-40 MKIII has also ground lift switches for each channel and a combined master switch to avoid ground loops.
Main Features
* 4 channels with unbalanced RCA inputs and balanced XLR outputs
* 4 channels with balanced XLR inputs and unbalanced RCA outputs
* XLR nominal level selectable between +4 dBu and –20 dBu
* Trim pots for each channel on front panel (±12 dB)
* Signal LED for each channel
* Ground lift switches for each channel and master switch
* Distribution amplifier functionality: One mono input signal can be routed to all four output channels, or one stereo input signal can be routed to two channels each (RCA to XLR and XLR to RCA)
* Internal power supply, no AC adapter needed
* 1 U rack-mountable chassis
