The I/O You Need, Any Way You Want It!
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.

Here's how it works. 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.
The Symphony I/O's front-panel controls are remarkably simple too. You can access every control from just a couple of knobs: one to select the function and the other to change the selected function's setting. Even completely reconfiguring the Symphony I/O's output takes only seconds, so you can jump from your composition in Pro Tools to your recording session in Logic Studio in just a matter of seconds. With all of the flexibility the Apogee Symphony I/O gives you, you'll never have to conform to the limitations of your system - your system will conform to your needs!
