SPEAKER: So for those who may recognize our -- who knew our very first converters, the AD & DA 16, we have reprised, as it were, the look in creating the Mini Series. The Mini Series consists of the Mini-Me (which is an A to D converter), the Mini-DAC (again, a two-channel D to A converter), and the Mini-MP (which is a mic preamp that will say is inspired by the widely acclaimed Trak2 mic pre).

The Mini-Me, in fact, can become a studio in a suitcase. It offers two channels of mic preamp including also having two channels of instrument input, gain control, once again two channels of soft limit and UV22. On this particular box, we expanded our soft limit options to include a compressor, and the compressor has some fun settings. We can really get into the kind of John Bonham drum crushing territory with Mini-Me.

Both the Mini-Me and the Mini-DAC also have the capability to interface to a computer via USB. We interface to Core Audio on Apple computers with no other drivers, and of course we have ASIO drivers for the PC side.

Mini-Me has a hardware latency compensation control and a headphone output knob. And again, with this and a laptop, you've basically got a really quite a high-quality studio in your suitcase. We've also noticed that film guys, because of the portability of the Mini-Me and the flexibility of soft limit, are using it more and more on film scores as a great way to replace kind of the older technology of Nagra's.

Now, the Mini-DAC is a two-channel D to A converter. It offers, once again, USB interface ability. It has a really great headphone output amplifier, and a monitor control knob allows you to adjust the headphone output as well as all the line outputs. So, for example, you can connect these directly to powered monitors.

With the Mini Series, because of the flexibility of our I/O, it's possible to integrate, for example, an AD-16X and a Mini-DAC with a Pro Tools system, and it gives you, for example, a very handy 16 x 2 Pro Tools system. You've got 16 inputs, only 2 outputs; that may be all you need. You've got a headphone output, monitor control, and again you've got a very flexible system that's really not possible with any other hardware.

Finally, we've got the Mini-MP. It's our first completely analog product. There's nothing digital about it. It's two mic preamps that are inspired by the Trak2 mic preamps, a product that we released a few years ago. The Mini-MP also offers MS encoding and decoding, MS being a particular fashion of placing microphones that is, again, popular in the film world because -- film and video because of its mono compatibility. The Mini-MP has up to 65 dB of gain, usual phantom power, and a high-pass filter, phase selection (you can put one or both channels out of phase), and then finally an output level.

So there you go. That pretty much sums up the Apogee product line.
