PSX-100
2-channel 24-bit, 44.1–96 kHz A/D-D/A
LOOKING FOR A COMPACT, VERSATILE 96KHZ STEREO CONVERSION
SOLUTION
? You’re looking for the PSX-100 – now with single-
wire 88.2/96kHz AES/EBU. It’s a complete two-channel con-
version system in a compact single-unit box. Resembling a
miniature version of the AD-8000, including the new UV22HR
and SoftLimit, but with 88.2 and 96kHz sampling and with all
its interfaces built in, the PSX-100 contains separate A/D and
D/A sections, each with their own clocks, which can be cross-
connected in a number of different ways – or not at all – you
can even run them at different sample rates. Copy a digital
input to all the outputs including D/A; monitor the output of
the A/D using the D/A, while outputting
all digital formats; or use them
separately – it’s your choice.
The PSX-100 includes all the industry-
standard interfaces: multiple AES/EBU, S/PDIF (coax/optical),
TDIF (Tascam) and ADAT. There is an auxiliary AES output
that always delivers high-resolution audio even if the other
outputs are being reduced to 16 or 20 bits with UV22HR,
making it possible, for example, to master 24-bits to a 24-bit
DAT machine while making simultaneous 16-bit copies.
Apogee Bit Splitting is taken a stage further in the PSX-
100. In addition to the 4/24 (PaqRat-compatible) mode (two
16-bit tracks record a single 24-bit channel), ABS-96 allows
you to record (and replay) two channels of 24/96 audio on
eight tracks of a standard MDM. So if you were wondering
how to store your high-density recordings, the answer is
already in your studio: it’s your existing MDM.
There’s nowhere you’ll find better quality, convenience
or capability than in the Apogee PSX-100.
DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PROJECT STUDIO, Apogee’s
Rosetta AD 2-channel A/D converter offers superlative
performance at an affordable price. Two models are available,
one offering 44.1/48 kHz sampling, and the other with the full
range from 44.1 to 96kHz. And you can upgrade from one to
the other as your needs grow. The Rosetta provides the new
UV22HR, and the 44.1–96 kHz model includes single-wire
AES and S/PDIF at 88.2/96 kHz, plus ABS-96 to record
24/88.2–96kHz signals on regular MDMs.
The most widely-used interfaces are built into the Rosetta:
AES, S/PDIF, TDIF (Tascam) and optical (S/PDIF or ADAT for-
mat). Large bar-graph meters give you accurate level indica-
tion, while oversize “over” LEDs (user defined threshold) let
you keep an eye on your levels, which can be kept under con-
trol with Apogee’s proprietary SoftLimit feature. UV22HR,
meanwhile, allows you to output 16 or 20 bits without losing
detail. The Rosetta AD is an ideal front-end to your DAT
machine, MDM, DAW, computer system or video editor.
THE AD-8000 24-BIT CONVERSION SYSTEM takes digital conver-
sion to a whole new level. It’s a true 24-bit converter, with all
the features you need for truly outstanding, great-sounding,
world-class recordings, whether you own the biggest studio
in town, a leading post-production facility, or have a project
setup in your back room.
