Ensemble Mobile from Apogee is a digitally controlled, professional audio interface designed specifically for the Macintosh. The unit features thirty-six channels of simultaneous audio, including eight channels of Apogee's A/D and D/A conversion and four transparent, digitally controlled 75dB microphone preamps.

The Ensemble Mobile is a DC powered version of the Ensemble interface and is excellent for capturing studio-perfect recordings away from an AC power source. Designed for the location sound and remote recording markets, power is supplied with an industry standard XLR-4 connector.

The unit 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 the interface an average run time of four hours from a 7AH battery. The option of plugging it in to an AC power source is still available by using the included external AC to DC power adaptor.

Housed in a single space rack mount chassis, Ensemble Mobile includes eight channels of ADAT I/O, two channels of S/PDIF coaxial and optical I/O and FireWire connectivity to and from the computer. Everything from microphone preamp and output gain to sample and bit rate selection is controllable from within Logic's Apogee Control Panel, making Ensemble a complete and compelling digital audio work station for the Mac.

Ensemble Mobile also includes premium Apogee technologies such as "SoftLimit," "UV22HR" and "Intelliclock." These technologies combined with converters that set the standard for the audio industry make Ensemble an ideal choice for professionals seeking a high-definition, integrated solution that's incredibly easy to use.
