Apogee Announces Symphony Audio Interface

Apogee has announced the Symphony I/O, a multi-channel professional audio interface offering native Logic and Pro Tools compatibility and I/O flexibility. Symphony can function in StandAlone Mode or connect directly to a Mac via any Mac-based audio workstation. The new Symphony System also features new digital audio conversion technology, new Maestro 2 software, multiple I/O options and low latency performance. The Symphony I/O will replace AD-16X,
DA-16X and the Rosetta 800.

With flexible and scalable I/O architecture, the upgraded Symphony System now allows end-users to define a system to their specific needs. Symphony I/O’s base chassis can accommodate up to 2 I/O modules, creating any combination of analog and digital I/O with USB 2.0, Symphony and Avid’s Pro Tools connectivity.

The new Maestro 2 software offers integral control of Symphony I/O with a new interface that makes workflow easier by removing the guesswork from routing, mic pre adjustment, input and output calibration and hardware control. Lastly, connect Symphony I/O to the Symphony 64 PCI or Symphony Mobile Express/34 card for low latency with Apple Logic, and all Apple Core Audio applications.
