Verify that both the Wide and Narrow Lock LEDs light.
ROSETTA 200 – User’s Guide Navigating the Front Panel - APOGEE ELECTRONICS continued 14 Sample Rate Conversion - As the number of digital audio sample rates increases, the necessity for high quality conversion between these rates grows. For the first time on an Apogee product, sample rate conversion is offered on the Rosetta 200. To employ sample rate conversion: 1 Connect the source to one of the Rosetta 200’s digital inputs and set SOURCE (to Digital Outputs) to the appropriate setting.
