Apogee Electronics Corporation have unveiled their Ensemble Mobile at AES. It’s a battery operated version of the successful multi-channel digital audio interface designed specifically for use with Apple Mac computers. Ensemble is the only multi-channel audio interface with control functions built directly into Apple’s Logic Pro, Soundtrack Pro and GarageBand software, creating a completely portable, fully integrated professional hardware and software system for audio production on a Mac.
Betty Bennett Co-Founder and CEO of Apogee told us, “This is an exciting new market for the Ensemble. We worked very closely with professional sound supervisors and engineers in the motion picture industry to create an ‘on-location’ solution that would fully integrate with any Core Audio-compliant application. I am confident our customers will be quite pleased with the quality, ease of use and functionality of this special version of Ensemble.�
Ensemble Mobile Features 36 channels of simultaneous audio, including 8 channels of Apogee’s legendary A/D and D/A conversion, 4 transparent, digitally controlled 75dB mic preamps, 8 channels of ADAT I/O, 2 channels of S/PDIF coax and optical I/O, and FireWire connectivity to and from the computer. Ensemble Mobile also includes such Apogee’s features as ‘SoftLimit’, ‘UV22HR’ and ‘Intelliclock’.
Power to Ensemble Mobile is provided by an industry standard XLR-4 connector that also gives you the option of plugging in using the included external AC to DC power adaptor with a standard IEC input. Ensemble Mobile is as flexible as you are and will work with any DC power source with voltage between 11 and 16 Volts. The power requirement is 20 Watts maximum or 1.7 Amps at 12 Volts, giving an average of four hours of run time from a 7AH battery.
