HE FIRST CONVERTERS
portable reference units. They rapidly became the
choice of mastering engineers, because of their
superb audio quality. Best-loved of early Apogee converter
designs was the AD-1000, with its two channels of mic pre
and unparalleled flexibility in the studio or in the field.
THE PORTABLE ANSWER
Now, by popular demand, Apogee has returned to home
territory with the release of a new portable 2-channel A/D
converter with built-in mic/instrument preamps, featuring a
special low-power, wide range supply-voltage design for
maximum flexibility – in the studio or in the field.
The Apogee Mini•Me is a completely new design. Its looks
recall the AD-1000, with its purple knobs and sturdy extrud-
ed case, but inside is a completely new, 21st-century
design. Everything is better, from its 24-bit, 96 kHz sam-
pling capability to its direct computer interfacing via USB –
so you can use almost any software you choose. And the
price tag? Less than a third the cost of the AD-1000. But
this compact unit is not a toy. It delivers true Apogee pro-
fessional-quality audio performance, from input to output.
THE NEW COMPACT VISION
The smooth lines of the Mini•Me front panel begin to tell
the story. Left and right input level controls feature a click
stop at the far left that activates a preset line/cal level, set
with multi-turn trimmers. Accurate LED indicators between
the input level controls give a clear display of available
headroom.

that Apogee ever made were MIC/INSTRUMENT PREAMPS
The mic preamps are a high-quality design by the team that
created our award-winning and widely praised Trak2 pre-
amps. And, like the Trak2, the Mini•Me accepts mic, line
and instrument-level inputs. Phantom power is of course
provided, and universal XLR/TRS connectors select the
instrument input automatically when you plug in a TRS jack.
