Apogee Releases AD-8000 SDIF Card for
DASH Multitracks
 July 27, 1999
Owners of DASH-Format digital multitrack machines such
as the Sony 3324, 3348 and 3348HR can now enjoy the benefits of enhanced
Apogee quality digital audio conversion, thanks to the new AMBus SDIF-11
card and wiring harness.
The
Sony 3348HR can be purchased without converters at a substantial cost
saving, making the AD-8000
particularly attractive for potential purchasers - especially as the regular
Sony converters offer only 20-bit operation. Purchasing AD8000 units with
the SDIF card, on the other hand, delivers full 24-bit resolution.
The SDIF card also supports Apogee Bit-Splitting, which uses more than
16-bit track to store high-resolution data. This means that existing 3324
and- 3348 owners can enjoy 20- or 24-bit resolution: the 3324 can record
12 tracks of 24-bit or 18 tracks of 20-bit, while 3348 owners can handle
24 tracks of 24-bit or 36 tracks of 20-bit.
Utilizing Apogee's AMBus structure built into the AD-8000, you can easily
interface the system to the vast majority of industry standard interfaces
such as ADAT, TDIF, ProTools, and many others. A new interface card also
makes it possible to connect the AD-8000 directly to Solid State Logic
consoles via the SSL HiWay digital audio interfacing scheme.
The AMBus SDIF card and Sony-compatible wiring harness are available
now. Contact Apogee for full details.
