The Apogee Symphony I/O MKII Dante Interface 8x8 Analog Preamp + 8x8 AES, part of the Apogee Symphony Connect series audio interfaces, delivers Symphony-quality sound with robust, high-performance AD/DA converters and Apogee’s Advanced Step Gain Architecture mic preamps at unprecedented prices. Using cutting edge components and a simplified, optimized analog circuit design, Apogee engineers are able to place more AD/DA converters and mic preamps on a single module board. The result is a single Symphony I/O Mk II with up 8 mic preamps at an unprecedented price for Symphony Quality and an extremely competitive price for the market. With industry-leading sound quality and scalable, Symphony Connect series is the ideal choice for broadcast, live sound, education, post, house of worship and recording studio facilities.

PRO TOOLS | HD OVER-IP MADE EASY

If Pro Tools is part of your network environment, Symphony I/O Mk II’s Pro Tools | HD peripheral port lets you route audio between your Pro Tools session, the Dante network and Symphony I/O Mk II modules, no need for an additional, standalone box.

APOGEE NETWORK CONTROL SOFTWARE

Symphony I/O Mk II features Apogee Network Control Software. Apogee Network Control gives you remote, software access to all Symphony I/O Mk II settings. From your computer you can calibrate all channels, set output monitor levels, select analog level type, adjust mic-pre gain and more. Drag and drop setup and color coding let you create custom view that let you see up to 6 devices in a single window. Apogee Network Control works on macOS and Windows 10 computers and is compatible with the Apogee Control hardware remote.

  • Control all Symphony I/O Mk II settings from calibration to monitors to mic preamps
  • Easy drag-and-drop setup and color coding organization features
  • View up to 6 devices in one window
  • View up to 32 inputs and outputs per device simultaneously
  • View up to 192 inputs and 192 outputs per tab simultaneously
  • See critical network and system status information at a glance
  • macOS and Windows 10 compatible

Advanced Stepped Gain Architecture Mic Preamps

Apogee has taken a high-end design approach to the mic preamps in the Connect Series I/O modules to achieve the best performance of any audio interface. With Apogee’s Advanced Stepped Gain Architecture Connect Series interfaces feature a mic preamp circuit that is dynamically optimized at different gain settings to provide superior bandwidth, ultra low noise and nonexistent distortion across an expansive gain range of 0-72 dB.

The Advanced Stepped Gain Architecture functions a bit like a finely tuned race car with many gears: optimal circuit performance (low noise and low distortion) is maintained regardless of the gain required. Digitally-controlled analog switches “shift the gears” of the circuit at each gain setting to ensure the best sound and performance. Other mic pres struggle at the extremes of gain – they are essentially “two-gear” circuits.
