A PCIe Card Expressly for New Macs!

Apogee's Symphony PCI-Express card is a digital computer interface that is based on the PCI-Express architecture for Apple's newest Macintosh computers. Controlled by Apogee's Maestro software, Symphony features 32 channels of digital I/O on a single PCI-Express card format. With support for sample rates up to 192 kHz, Symphony can be used as a digital router or patch bay when connected to external converters or other digital outboard equipment. Software drivers for Symphony feature extensive routing capabilities and very low latency performance making very high channel, high quality native recording with Apogee converters a reality. Symphony sets a new audio standard for native workstations!

Apogee Symphony PCIe Card at a Glance:

• Up to 192 simultaneous channels of audio
  
• Easy interface control with Maestro software
  
• Premium-quality Apogee converters but low cost per channel

Up to 192 simultaneous channels of audio
With the ability to install three cards in Apple's G5, Symphony is the only connectivity solution that offers high end, professional users the capability to utilize up to 192 channels of audio simultaneously in a single computer. Symphony can provide more than enough I/O for even the biggest scoring sessions.

Easy interface control with Maestro software
Symphony comes with Maestro, an innovative software interface between OS X applications (OS 10.4 and above) and Apogee hardware. Maestro is capable of controlling Apogee hardware I/O connected to the computer via FireWire, Symphony, or both at the same time. Maestro features multiple low-latency mixers, hardware control panels, an input/output routing matrix that is compatible with Rosetta 800, Rosetta 200, AD-16X and DA-16X and a universal control platform for using Apogee hardware in combination with Ensemble.
