Welcome to the New Standard in Recording Technology

Sound Amazing® Remixed and Re-mastered

Symphony I/O draws upon the award-winning design approaches of Apogee's X-Series and Rosetta Series converters, the Big Ben master clock and the Trak2 mic preamps. It also refines and updates these proven designs with fewer but more advanced components while optimizing their performance with efficient power distribution. This means sound is traveling thru less circuitry, there is lower converter latency, more accurate clocking and even more transparency and clarity in your recordings.

Front Panel Tour

The front panel of Symphony I/O is elegant and intuitive in the way it presents all necessary visual feedback. It clearly displays monitor levels, sample rate and clock status while providing the controls required to adjust gain, output levels and select the Audio Interface Mode (AIM).

Rear Panel Tour

The rear panel tells the story of Symphony I/O's adaptable design architecture with two I/O module slots capable of up to 32 channels of input and output and PCI, USB and Ethernet connectivity for complete compatibility with popular workstations. The base unit also features essential word clock connectors and termination, and a quiet, high-performance fan to keep it all running cool.

AIM for Complete Compatibility

Symphony I/O's Audio Interface Modes (AIM)

With a simple adjustment using the front panel encoder knobs, AIM transforms Symphony I/O into an interface optimized for the mode that's been selected. This feature allows users of Logic and Pro Tools HD for example, to easily switch back and forth between the two DAWs with the click of a knob and swap of a cable. If USB is your preferred mode, connecting to Core Audio compatible apps like Digital Performer and Cubase is just as easy. And Stand-alone mode is your direct digital connection to Pro Tools LE or Pro Tools M-Powered.

8 Mic Preamp: I/O Module

The Mic Preamp Module upgrades the functionality of any Analog I/O Module by adding mic pres to the existing line inputs. A direct connection between the Mic Preamp Module and the Analog I/O Module inserts a mic pre stage before the line inputs.

The All New Maestro

Advanced Software Control for Advanced I/O

Apogee's software control application, Maestro, has been totally redesigned for Symphony I/O. Featuring a familiar single window, multiple tab interface for quick access to all device and system settings, the new Maestro makes routing, mic pre adjustment, input and output calibration and low latency monitoring clear and easy to use. To reduce on screen clutter, Maestro also features a minimized tool bar view with System Status display, volume controls and buttons to mute outputs and clear meters.

Future-Proof Flexibility

Symphony I/O, the Most Sound Investment for any Studio

Symphony I/O is an audio hardware platform, designed to deliver the most advanced recording technology available and the flexibility, scalability, and longevity required to power the modern studio. Modular I/O design, total software control, and direct connection to all popular DAWs make Symphony I/O a long-term sound investment.
