The Unbelievable "Made for Mac" Interface!
Have you gotten the word on Apogee yet? These guys are practically in a league of their own. They make some of the best-sounding gear out there... their converters and clocking technology? Flawless, astonishing, unbelievable, insertflatteringadjectivehere. You'll see Apogee gear in the best studios in the world and there's a reason for that.What's cool about the Ensemble is that it's a way for all of us to get into Apogee's world-class sound quality - and a lot of channels of it, at that. While Apogee has offered high-end gear for a long time, this is one of the first examples of their high-end technology being brought to a truly attainable price point. In short, your Mac, an Ensemble, and a piece of recording software can be the heart of your recording studio. There are four preamplifiers (again, amazing sound quality), so you can plug in microphones and record a number of sources at once. Keep in mind, the ADAT I/O opens up the doors to even more channels, so you can get in eight more channels digitally.
With a fast FireWire connection and a "Made for Mac" mentality, the Apogee Ensemble has become the first pick among professional studio guys and gals who need a portable interface or a secondary mobile rig. It's also earned the #1 spot on the wish lists of countless home recordists and project studio owners. With Apogee conversion built-in, not to mention outstanding preamplifier quality and the built-in I/O to accommodate considerably large setups, the Apogee Ensemble is a dream FireWire audio interface and a can't-go-wrong choice.
