Apogee Symphony I/O System with 8x8 Analog I/O Module at a Glance:

  • Symphony I/O - the base unit
  • Analog + AES + optical + coax = 14 x 18
  • Apogee's uncompromising digital audio quality


Symphony I/O - the base unit
The Symphony I/O comes as a single base unit. This unit features built-in Ethernet and USB output, as well as Symphony/Pro Tools HD PC-32 I/O - but no additional I/O. A pair of module bays lets you decide what additional I/O you need, allowing you to build the system you want. Choose from five different modules, each with a different assortment of analog and digital I/O. You can even add banks of Apogee's ultra-transparent microphone preamps! Each of the Symphony I/O's module cards offers Apogee's finest conversion technology, and the Symphony I/O itself sports enhanced C777 clocking for completely reliable jitter-free performance.

Analog + AES + optical + coax = 14 x 18
The Symphony 2x6 Analog I/O + 8x8 Optical + AES I/O Module gives you two balanced analog inputs on a pair of female XLR connectors. Six analog outputs are handled by one 25-pin D-Sub. You get stereo AES in and out on another pair of XLRs. Optical in and out ports give you eight channels of 44.1-48kHz ADAT, four channels of 88.2-96kHz S/MUX, or two channels of up to 96kHz S/PDIF. If that's not enough, you also get two channels of S/PDIF coax I/O (up to 192kHz) on RCA.

Apogee's uncompromising digital audio quality
For more than two decades, Apogee has developed some of the finest pro audio technology, including the famous X-series and Rosetta series converters, the Big Ben master clock, the Trak2 mic preamps, and the Symphony PCI protocol. Now, they put all that experience into one amazing interface: the Symphony I/O. You get to choose the I/O, so you can get up to 32 channels of jaw-dropping AD/DA conversion set up for any DAW, including native DAWs such as Logic, Cubase, and Ableton Live, as well as Pro Tools|HD! And standalone operation even lets you use the Symphony I/O with proprietary systems such as Pro Tools LE.
