Ensemble is a digitally–controlled Firewire audio interface specifically designed for Apple Macintosh computers. From mic preamps to Mac Core Audio connectivity to headphone outputs, Ensemble includes all that’s necessary for a high–quality Mac–based recording system.Ensemble includes several of Apogee’s Core technologies, including:SoftLimit Soft Limit is an analog peak limiting circuit that instantaneously and gracefully controls transient peaks, thereby allowing an additional 4 dB of headroom. Soft Limit may be engaged on all 8 Ensemble analog inputs.UV22HR UV22HR is Apogee’s industry standard dither algorithm for reducing the word–length of a digital audio signal from 24 to 16 bits. UV22HR is also being employed to produce dramatically improved internet and computer audio content without increased file sizes or data rates. Apogee Sample Rate Conversion (SRC)Ensemble’s hardware sample rate conversion provides a high quality, flexible solution for working with digital audio hardware and software running at different sample rates. Ensemble’s sample rate conversion may be applied to a digital input (to convert an input stream to Ensemble’s sample rate) or to a digital output (to provide an output stream at a user selected sample rate different than Ensemble’s rate)
