In the early days of DAW recording, Apogee's dedicated converters became an industry standard and were primarily used as a secondary front-end to bypass the converters of Pro Tools interfaces. While Pro Tools interfaces have come a long way since then, Apogee hasn't been sitting on its hands. Not only have their converters gotten better after 30 years of leading the field, they have been incorporated into all-in-one modular interfaces that are capable of direct connection to Pro Tools via PT HD ports. They also offer your choice of powerful, high-speed Thunderbolt 2.0 connectivity, as well as Waves SoundGrid and Dante network audio systems. To meet the current demands of audio professionals in a volatile marketplace, Apogee offers the Symphony I/O Mk II - a multi-channel audio interface featuring Apogee's latest flagship AD/DA conversion, modular I/O (up to 32 inputs and outputs), intuitive touchscreen display, and optional world-class microphone preamps. Designed to deliver professional sound quality for audio recording, mixing and mastering, Symphony I/O Mk II is the music production centerpiece for any modern studio.

Comprehensive Control Via Front-Panel Touchscreen For convenient setup and control, all essential input and output settings can be accessed from Symphony MII's front-panel touchscreen. It gives you easy access to input selection, monitoring levels, mic pre gain, or system calibration to match the levels of the other analog gear in your studio. All visual feedback critical for recording and monitoring is presented by high-resolution TFT display. Without looking at your computer, Symphony I/O Mk II lets you see metering for up to 64 channels of I/O (32-in x 32-out), signal levels, polarity, muting, phantom power, and Soft Limit. Making Modular Merriment A common dilemma of gear acquisition facing both manufacturer and customer was hoping that the unit you wanted had the right I/O for your system. Disappointment prevailed when I/O didn't match up. Some manufacturers went as far as to consult with pro audio salesmen to see what their customers were requesting, but that was still hit or miss. Challenge accepted! Problem solved with the Symphony I/O MKII. The Symphony's I/O Modules are designed to future-proof your investment in Apogee sound quality. Representing over 30 years of Apogee R&D and design excellence, these powerful modules deliver superior-sounding digital audio recording. With 3 available I/O Modules and an 8 channel mic preamp module, you can choose from base configurations or expand to grow your studio's capabilities. Additionally, if you already own an original Symphony I/O, you're still good to go. The Symphony I/O Mk II chassis can increase the longevity of your system by offering backward compatibility with the first-generation 2x6, 8x8, 16x16 and 8 channel mic preamp I/O modules - investment saved. True Thunderbolt Performance Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt is the most powerful multi-channel audio interface for Thunderbolt-based Mac workstations. Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt delivers the full potential of Thunderbolt 2 performance with the lowest latency, unmatched CPU efficiency and 2 ports for connecting additional peripherals. Low-Latency Operation Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt relies on Apogee's proprietary Thunderbolt driver, written from the ground up to offer unmatched performance and efficiency. When using Logic Pro X, latency has been reduced to an astounding 1.35 ms round-trip, allowing you to monitor through your DAW, plug-ins included, simplifying your workflow and leveraging the power of your Mac. Even when your session's DSP demands require a higher buffer setting, Symphony I/O's ultra-low latency means no longer having to choose between power and speed. To accommodate different workflow preferences, Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt features optional direct hardware monitoring through Symphony Control Software with 0.6ms of latency. High Track Count, Low CPU Hit Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt's custom driver includes a revolutionary Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine to more efficiently read and write data directly to Mac memory independent of the Mac CPU. The DMA engine, running on Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt's hardware logic chip, increases the driver's efficiency and provides the highest resolution signal possible to the DAC stage. This implementation allows the driver to crunch an enormous amount of data at an amazing speed, while making a very light demand on your Mac CPU. You benefit with lower latency, more plug-in power, and a transparent and encompassing listening experience. Option Card Slot for Future Connectivity If you're currently working in Pro Tools | HD, thinking about going Native with Thunderbolt, or setting up an audio over Ethernet network, the Option card slot offers flexibility for the present as well the future. As new platforms develop and audio recording workflows evolve, Apogee engineers will create new cards to accommodate technological advances, thus prolonging the life and relevance of your Symphony MKII, For example, Dante Audio over IP network connectivity is coming soon to a Symphony I/O MKII near you - so stay tuned. Dynamic Temperature Control Let's face it, when it comes to prolonging the life of electronics, the only thing running through it that should be hot is your licks. To keep the Symphony I/O Mk II running at optimal temperature, it features advanced controls to ensure the highest level of performance and reliability. The new temperature controls are complemented by an improved fan and chassis ventilation design, which allows adequate component cooling to occur quietly. Symphony Control Software Designed specifically for Symphony I/O Mk II audio interfaces. Symphony Control for Mac has been built from the ground up and replaces Apogee's Maestro software.
