Condition: Used, Very Good

The Rosetta 200 replaces both the highly regarded PSX100 and its simpler sibling, the original Rosetta converter. The converter and clock technology employed in the Rosetta 200 is essentially the same as that in the Rosetta 800, with full support for sampling rates up to 192kHz (including SMux facilities for the ADAT port) and comprehensive I/O connectivity. There is also a slot for an optional interface module, with cards available to couple directly with Pro Tools (either new HD or older Mix systems) and for a Firewire interface for native DAWs.

The PSX100 was a superb unit, and the Rosetta 200 is designed to build on that, offering excellent signal routing and format-conversion functions, but perhaps the real icing on the cake is the new Coda 'Audio Finishing Module'. This provides (for the first time in an Apogee product) high-quality sample-rate conversion, along with an automatic level-setting facility for the A-D converter called the Aptomizer. The familiar UV22HR dithering algorithm is also included, as is Apogee's Soft Limiter — an fast-response analogue input limiter.
