Page 4: Warnings
AC voltage ratings for electrical power vary from area to area. Severe damage to your unit is possible if your Rosetta AD is configured incorrectly for your local power. If in doubt, consult an Apogee deal- er. A label adjacent to the power connector indicates the voltage to which the unit was set on leaving the factory. -
Page 5: Registration & Warranty Information
Apogee. In the event your Rosetta AD needs to be upgraded or repaired, it is necessary to contact Apogee prior to ship- ping, and a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number will be assigned. This number will serve as a refer- ence for you and helps facilitate and expedite the return process. -

Page 11: Quick Start Guide
Your Rosetta AD is shipped from Apogee ready to go. It has spent at least two days ‘burning-in’. This burn-in procedure involves powered operation at elevated temperatures to isolate units that would possibly fail due to component defects. -

Rosetta AD User’s Guide The Front Panel See also the fold-out front and rear panel diagrams at the end of this manual. POWER BUTTON Press for power on. Press again for power off. SAMPLE RATE Selects the sample rate (sampling frequency) for the digital outputs and word clock output to either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz (the upper two LEDs are unused). -

(on analog signals only). Its lack of audible artifacts makes it ideal for use as a final L/R limiter for mixing and mastering. Soft Limit comes calibrated from Apogee to what we feel is an optimum setting based on years of user feedback. The Soft Limit circuit never needs re-calibration;... -
Page 14: Meter Clear
Rosetta AD User’s Guide The digital scale (‘dBFS’ or ‘decibel full-scale’) differs significantly from the conventional analog scale. The dif- ference is that these ‘zeros’ are not the same kind of thing. The maximum level on a digital meter is 0dBFS, (a digital “word”... -

NOTE: Be sure to use a quality digital cable for your interconnects. A standard microphone cable is not of high enough bandwidth to carry digital signals reliably. For best sonic results, use a 110 cable created especially for digital audio such as Apogee’s WydeEye AD 110 ohm (part # WE-XX). Page 15... -

‘digital in’. If the receiving device does not automatically switch its sync source to digital in, man- ually select the S/PDIF input as its sync source. For best sonic results, use a 75 coaxial cable created especially for digital audio such as Apogee’s WydeEye AD 75 (part # WE-RR). -

ABS 96 tracks and re-assembling them into a stereo 24/96 stream. To do this, you will need an Apogee D/A converter such as that in the Apogee PSX-100. Of course, if you are mastering with the Rosetta 96, you can inform your mastering house that you are using ABS 96 and they can employ their own Apogee unit to recover the stereo data. -

DO NOT LIFT THE GROUND PIN. When tracing down hums and buzzes, the AC ground pin is often lifted to break ‘ground loops’. Apogee does not recommend that you lift the ground pin on the Rosetta as AC spikes (that have no path to ground) can severely damage the unit. -
Page 19: About Uv22Hr Super Cd Encoding
In listening test after listening test, engineers and reviewers alike choose UV22 over all other systems. Many thousands of CD titles have already been mastered using Apogee UV1000 Super CD Encoders, the AD-1000, and the industry-standard AD-8000 and PSX-100. Apogee’s UV22 is today in use in the vast majority of US mastering houses, and it is estimated that as many as 80% of the hit records mastered in the United States today utilize UV22. -

In addition, some AES/EBU routers may not sup- port ‘double fast’ operation. Apogee supplies both the single-wire and double-wire formats in the Rosetta 96. The formats are selectable via DIP switch #n on the back panel (see page 20). -
