The Trak2 consists of:
• A two channel solid-state digitally-controlled microphone preamplifier
• A two channel 24-bit/96kHz analog to digital converter
• Balanced sends
• One AES/EBU or S/PDIF output
• Two Apogee Multimedia Bus (AMBus) card slots for optional digital interface cards
• A serial/MIDI port
• Optional 2-channel sample-rate converter card
• Optional video sync
• An optional two or eight channel 24-bit/96kHz digital to analog converter
Here are just some of the uses for the Trak2 (the possibilities are endless)…
• Use the Trak2 to bypass the stock A/D and D/A converters on all your digital audio equipment – DAWs, MDMs, DATs, CDRs, FX processors, etc. with an audiophile quality, stand alone conversion solution that improves the sound of your recordings to any format.
• Use it as a straight analog mic preamplifier in live situations, or to record to an analog tape recorder without crossing into the digital domain.
• As an all-in-one vocal channel: mic pre ➔ Soft Limit ➔ A/D converter ➔ recorder ➔ D/A converter ➔ monitors.
• As a mastering processor utilizing UV22HR and Soft Limit.
• As a stand-alone interface for your DAW (Steinberg’s Nuendo or Cubase; MOTU’s Digital Performer or 2408; or Logic, for example). With the addition of the Digi-8+ AMBus card, the Trak2 becomes a comprehensive interface for Pro Tools. Depending on your requirements, it may be the only interface you need!
• As an 8-channel format converter using any of the currently available AMBus cards.
• As the master clock for your entire studio – including resolving to video sync (with the addition of the Video Sync Card).
• As a stereo (or independent 2 x mono) Hi-Z to Lo-Z direct box and line level amplifier.
• As a comprehensive digital channel router and distribution amplifier.
