GUITAR CENTER PROFESSIONAL ANNOUNCES NEW APOGEE ENSEMBLE SWEEPSTAKES GIVEAWAY
— As part of its ongoing sweepstakes series, GC Pro highlights Apogee’s Ensemble, the first all-digitally controlled professional audio interface designed specifically for Mac®, a $1995.00 value—
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA, January 3, 2011 — Guitar Center Professional (GC Pro), the outside sales division of Guitar Center that focuses on the needs of professional users, announces the latest in its ongoing series of online sweepstakes at www.gcpro.com. The new contest is now live and will run through March 31, 2011, shortly after which a brand new contest will begin.
Several times a year, GC Pro management selects one particular product from a high-end gear manufacturer to feature on the website and give away as that sweepstakes prize. This newly announced sixth contest features Apogee’s Ensemble, the first multi-channel digital audio interface designed specifically for use with Macintosh® computers, a $1995.00 value. Ensemble is the ideal choice for professionals seeking a high-definition, integrated solution that’s incredibly easy to use.
Employing Apogee’s legendary conversion, Logic Pro integration, and premium technologies such as “Soft Limit,” “UV22HR” and “Intelliclock,” Ensemble is compatible with any Core Audio software application such as Logic Pro and Pro Tools 9. Ensemble features 36 channels of simultaneous audio, including 8 channels of Apogee’s legendary A/D and D/A conversion, 4 transparent, digitally controlled 75 dB 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.
“We are very excited to participate in the sweepstakes with GC Pro. Ensemble is an amazing all-in-one audio interface that any GC Pro customer who is serious about their sound will love,” says Sean McArthur, Director of Marketing at Apogee Electronics. "Everyone from GRAMMY®-winning artists, engineers and producers to the home recording musician has relied on Apogee products and GC Pro to deliver exceptional quality.”
To enter the contest, users simply go to gcpro.com and click on the “Sweepstakes” tab. There, entrants will complete and submit a short entry form. The winner will then be selected at random and contacted after March 31, 2011. Complete rules can be found at gcpro.com.
