Clocking
An audio interface relies on a clock source like an orchestra relies on a conductor. A digital audio clock provides a
timing signal to all the parts of a digital audio system so that each part of the AD/DA process may be synchronized.
Element has its own built-in clock source and provides professional Word Clock IN and OUT for syncing with other
digital audio gear. Use Element as the master clock to take advantage of Apogee’s superior built-in clocking
technology.

Thunderbolt Connectivity
The Element Series Thunderbolt driver oers incredible low-latency performance (1.41 ms round-trip) and rock-solid
stability. Apogee’s custom driver uses less of your computer’s CPU power with the help of Direct Memory Access
(DMA) technology. This allows you to run more plugins and monitor through your DAW at a low buer setting.
Element’s low latency driver means you don’t have to choose between power and speed.
