Description Number of Channels: Not Applicable Form Factor: Rack-Mountable Brand: Apogee Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Model: Trak2 Effect/Enhancement: Simulation, Overdrive, High-Pass Filtering, Distortion, Compression/Limiting
If you're interested in the APC recording process here's an important piece. I used this as the stereo room mic pre, A/D and tape simulation/saturation. If you'd like ( and win this bid ) I'll give more details on that process. An amazing mic preamp!!! Can be used as a stand alone unit or with comparable Avid/Digidesign I/O units through the DIGI 8+ card. Apogee's Trak2 is a superb sounding microphone preamplifier/conversion system. In a single rack space you get an excellent mic pre; incredible A/D; any interface you need; and behind it, Apogee's legendary name and reputation for the very highest audio quality converters available. The details? The mic pre section offers +/- 90dB of gain; balanced sends and returns; pristine 24-bit/96kHz analog to digital conversion; two AMBus digital I/O slots; a built-in AES-S/PDIF digital output; word clock I/O; and comprehensive metering. 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. Features Superb two-channel microphone preamplifier with ±90dB gain, phantom power, front-panel universal input socket, high-impedance direct instrument input, analog out ...and an incredible sound. Two channels of Apogee's true 24-bit, 96 kHz A/D conversion with 117 dB dynamic range. Full 8-channel digital architecture including 8-channel format conversion and routing. AES/EBU and S/PDIF out plus two AMBus card slots to interface with Pro Tools, ADAT, TDIF, SDIF-II, etc. Apogee Soft Limit¨ helps you record at a higher level without overs; Soft Saturateª gives you the sound of analog tape compression! Apogee low-jitter master clock. Apogee's enhanced UV22HRª translates 24-bit signals to 20 or 16 bits while maintaining high-resolution detail. Video sync capability. Clear LCD display shows configuration and signal flow. Cursor controls/delta-wheel for fast settings changes. Settings can be saved to presets and recalled. Programmable Quick Keys for instant access to frequently-used functions. Easy-to-read 2-channel LED bar metering User-definable over detection (1-4 digital full scale)
Comes with power cable and com breakout cable.
