  • 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.

16 channels of impeccable analog I/O - plus coax S/PDIF
The Symphony 16x16 Analog I/O Module adds 16 channels of analog inputs and outputs to your Apogee Symphony I/O on four 25-pin D-Sub connectors: two for input and two for output, each carrying eight balanced channels. 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.

WOW!! Unbelievable

My Sweetwater Sales rep (Ben Porter) has been telling me about the Symphony IO since it first arrived on the scene. Of course it has always been out of my price reach. I started with Apogee Duet 1st ... read more [+]Gen and was impressed, then the Ensemble and it too was awesome, then the price dropped on Apogee and I took the plunge.
THIS unit is light years ahead of anything I have ever heard. The Symphony IO coupled with my Focal Twin Be6's now give my studio that truly professional sound - NO BS!! I am hearing highs that I knew existed but could discern. And my low end immediately tightened up!! truly!!! I have been struggling with bass in my room - I have pretty great bass trapping and all but even with my ensemble - the bass always sounded...flappy, not tight and certainly nowhere close to what pro studios sound like? Well not any more - immediate gratification in the low end…in fact throughout the entire sound spectrum – I ran some XTZ Room analysis to compare and I can see from the graphs a huge difference.
Look, I wish I could tell you all that this sucks so you would not buy it and thus reduce my competition, but that would be a lie and just wrong. In fact I wish more people would buy a unit like this so I could quit hear crappy mixes J It’s simple! If you want your mixes to sound like LA or NY or Nashville – you need to make the investment – period and investing in the Symphony IO is a step in the right direction.
I have said it time and time again, THANK YOU Ben Porter – I actually cried (just a tad) when I put up Kansas, Blackeyed Peas, Aerosmith, Muse up and OH MY GOD it’s was the most pleasing thing I had ever heard! close [-]
