FireWire Card
Power and Options...
The Apogee X-Series FireWire Card gives you the power and con-
venience of a direct connection to any FireWire equipped computer.
Based on S400 standards (with S800 compatible connectors) the
X-FireWire Card uses an expansion slot in the ROSETTA 800 to
give users of Logic, Nuendo and other popular software the option
of amazing sounding Apogee conversion. With low-latency Core
Audio (Mac) and ASIO drivers for leading operating systems, your
hardware options for your DAW are greatly expanded.
eXpandability...
The three ports on the Apogee X-FireWire Card allow you to daisy-
chain additional devices to create an entire system. By extending the
bus, the X-FireWire card allows for daisy-chaining of multiple Apogee
systems or compatible peripherals, and permits the use of multiple
FireWire devices by computers with only one port. The card also
passes power through the FireWire ports to allow the powering of
additional devices.
