Apogee Introduces Enhanced Cable Plus
Inkjet-Printable & Consumer Audio CDs
July 27, 1999
On show at the Apogee booth will be Apogee's growing
and highly successful line of digital media products. New at the show
are additions to Apogee's Recordable CID line. This now includes Inkjet
Printable and Consumer Audio CD-Rs, giving Apogee one of the most extensive
audio-specific digital media lines in the industry.
The CD74-IUJ Inkjet Printable CD-R has been introduced to satisfy an
expanding market among owners of inkjet printers that print in color directly
on to the disc, as opposed to thermal-transfer printers such as the Rimage
(for which the existing Apogee discs are ideal). The new Apogee Inkjet
Printable discs feature a silver reflective layer for maximum compatibility,
Apogee's premium true Phthalocyanine dye, and a special white printable
surface that retains ink without smudging and dries quickly.
Apogee's CD74-SCJ Consumer Audio CD-Rs have been designed to suit the
growing number of low-cost audio CD recorders on the market such as the
Philips CDR880. These recorders require a special CD-R containing a code
burned into the disc conforming to SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
requirements. The Apogee CD74-SCJ is a silverover-gold Phthalocyanine
disc essentially similar to Apogee's existing silver CD-R product but
with the addition of the SCMS code.
Apogee's Wyde Eye A/D premium digital cable, also showing at the booth,
is the ideal interconnect for both high-quality digital and analog applications,
and is available in both AES/EBU 110ohm and S/PIDIF or Word Clock 75Q
formats, in a series of standard lengths. Wyde Eye A/D interconnects are
shipped in the unique new CablePak(TM) reusable case.
The entire Apogee media and cable lines have been repackaged in an impressive
new silver, purple and black "livery".
