Apple Mac Pro
Two Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors up to 3GHz let you effortlessly synthesize instruments and apply multiple effects.

PCI Express expansion slots support state-of-the-art audio DSP and I/O solutions, while support for up to 8 displays lets you spread out all your tools and timelines.

And connect virtually any audio, MIDI, or storage device using the optical digital and analog stereo audio ports and conveniently located FireWire and USB ports.

Apple 23 in. Cinema HD Display
The widescreen design of the Apple Cinema Display line offers a natural format for arranging documents the way your brain processes them -- longer wide than high. That's why each display gives you the best view for your work. It just makes sense to be able to display a Web page and its code next to each other horizontally, or long video timelines in wide format. And the 23 in. Cinema HD Display, provides the exact resolution to display widescreen High Definition material. Apple engineers find that 100 pixel per inch resolution is ideal for images, yet allows you to easily work with sophisticated type treatments or just plain email. This painstaking attention to detail moves the industry forward and gives you best LCD technology available.

The result is a whole new set of tools that advances the art of audio production.

KRK RP8 Rokit Powered 2-Way Active Monitor

All of this is housed in an attractive cabinet with radiused corners that reduce edge diffraction resulting in better audio imaging.
