ApogeeMini-Me Stereo USB Mic/Instrument Preamp Description (from Apogee PDF): The Apogee Mini-Me is 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. Its looks recall the AD-1000, with its purple knobs and sturdy extruded case, but inside is a completely new, 21st-century design. Everything is better, from its 24-bit, 96 kHz sampling capability to its direct computer interfacing via USB – so you can use almost any software you choose. It delivers true Apogee professional-quality audio performance, from input to output. The smooth lines of the Mini-Me front panel begin to tell the story. Left and right input level controls feature a Accurate LED indicators between the input level controls give a clear display of available headroom. 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. Key Features ◆ Two channels of Apogee 24-bit, 96 kHz A/D conversion, top-quality mic/instument preamps and line-level inputs ◆ True Apogee professional audio performance ◆ Plug-and-play USB I/O connects direct to almost any computer or software* ◆ AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital outputs ◆ Headphone output with Level and Direct/USB Return Mix knobs ◆ Apogee Soft Limit plus Push-ITTM – a unique new multi- curve comp/limiter ◆ Apogee’s UV22 High Resolution for flawless 16 and 20 bit output ◆ Independent left and right channel level controls plus multi-turn presets ◆ Low current, wide range of input voltages – ideal for battery operation, ENG and field use COMPRESSOR/LIMITER Apogee has long been famed for our Soft Limit process, designed to maximize digital level without overs – but with the Mini-Me, there’s a major new twist: we’ve added Push-ITTM – a unique new three-curve stereo compressor/ limiter circuit. It’s ideal when you need extra punch, or require a safety net for the unexpected when making live recordings. This powerful new circuitry takes Apogee’s dynamics control to a whole new level – from the people who invented soft limiting for digital conversion and field use. 44.1–96 kHz SAMPLE RATES A single control selects the sample rate and word length. The Mini-Me’s converters output a full 24-bit signal at any of the standard rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sampling. In addition, select 16- or 20-bit outputs at 44.1 or 48 kHz using Apogee’s industry standard UV22 HR system for word-length reduction. PLUG AND PLAY WITH USB The Mini-Me’s ultra-low-latency USB interface carries two channels of audio at up to 24-bits and 48 kHz sampling, from the Mini-Me to the computer and back again for monitoring. Using an operating system that supports USB Audio Devices (including Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 and XP, and Macintosh OS 9.x and 10.x), simply select the option in your recording application’s preferences*. ASIO drivers are also supplied for reduced latency. Even if you get the sample rates mismatched between the Mini-Me and your computer, the unit will convert sample rates automatically. And if you select, for example, 24-bit on the unit and 16-bit on the computer, UV22HR will automatically be applied to the signal sent to the USB port (44.1/48 kHz sampling only). STANDARD INTERFACES The Mini-Me includes AES/EBU (XLR) and S/PDIF (RCA/coaxial) outputs which are available simultaneously, clocked by a high-stability reference crystal oscillator, mak- ing the Mini-Me an ideal master clock.
