Next-gen Apogee Interface Meets Powerful DSP-enabled Networking

Since 1985, Apogee has been developing some of the finest pro audio technology, including the famous X-series and Rosetta series converters, the Big Ben master clock, Trak2 mic preamps, Symphony PCI protocol, and Symphony I/O. Now, they put all that experience into their state-of-the-art next-generation multichannel audio interface. Symphony I/O Mk II boasts Apogee's latest flagship AD/DA conversion, as well as ultra-flexible modular I/O that offers up to 32 inputs and outputs and a fast, user-friendly touchscreen display. It also offers the closest thing you'll find to a plug-and-play Dolby Atmos monitoring system. If your audio production requirements put you on technology's cutting edge, you'll want to equip your studio with Apogee's Symphony I/O Mk II.

Harness the sonic potential of SoundGrid

The Symphony I/O Mk II SoundGrid melds Apogee's legendary sound quality with powerful DSP-enabled networking. It allows you to connect your computer, shared between multiple rooms, and multiple computers via a simple Ethernet connection. You can then supercharge your system with near-infinite real-time DSP power, thanks to Waves SoundGrid servers. The Symphony I/O Mk II SoundGrid integrates with nearly any DAW, making it a great solution for studios, post-production facilities, or live sound rigs alike.

A system that fits your present and future needs

Available in several different configurations, Symphony I/O has you covered whether you're running a home studio, a project studio, a scoring stage, or a world-class commercial facility. Apogee offers four basic I/O schemes: 2 x 6, 8 x 8, 16 x 16, or 8 x 8 plus eight mic preamps. And it's easy to expand your setup as your needs grow. Featuring two module slots, your Symphony I/O Mk II system can accommodate up to 32 inputs and outputs of A/D and D/A conversion per unit. At Sweetwater, we're very impressed with the Symphony I/O Mk II. Cutting-edge performance, flexibility, and amazing value — the Symphony I/O Mk II provides exactly what we expect from Apogee.

Tailor-made for immersive audio

Thanks to an industry-wide push from streaming services and record labels, Dolby Atmos and other immersive audio formats are becoming the new standard. Luckily, Apogee Symphony I/O Mk II makes configuring and operating your immersive audio monitoring system easy and painless. Inside Apogee's Control Software, you'll find intuitive options for optimizing your immersive audio workflow. For starters, it makes routing input and output sources and destinations a breeze. You can create up to three Speaker Sets, then instantly toggle between them. Speaker level trim controls make balancing between all your speakers easy, and color-coded icons let you see your active speakers at a glance. Most importantly, Apogee's Control Software allows you to completely reconfigure your monitoring system instantly — toggling between stereo, 5.1, Binaural, and Dolby Atmos is as effortless as touching a button. As a result, whether you're working in stereo, Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio, Ambisonics, or any other format, your Apogee Symphony I/O Mk II will provide you with a fast, seamless workflow.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
