Apogee Symphony Desktop USB Audio Interface

10-in/14-out desktop USB audio interface with hardware DSP/Native Apogee FX Plug-ins and Mic Preamp Emulations
MFR# SYM-DESKTOP

Product Description

The Apogee Symphony Desktop combines the renowned sound-quality of the legendary Symphony I/O Mk II with Apogee’s iconic AD/DA converters and preamps in a sleek desktop USB audio interface for Mac and Windows. With new features like built-in DSP, preamp emulation, and Apogee native FX plugins, the Apogee Symphony Desktop makes it easier than ever to create studio-quality productions at home or on the go.

STUDIO-QUALITY SOUND

Equipped with class-leading components and cutting-edge circuit designs, Apogee Symphony Desktop delivers pristine sound quality. Two world-class preamps with stepped gain and variable impedance offer up to 75 dB of gain for crystal-clear recordings. The front-panel instrument input makes it easy to quickly capture guitar riffs and keyboard licks as soon as inspiration strikes. And with Apogee’s acclaimed AD/DA converters, Apogee Symphony Desktop is capable of recording and mixing at resolutions up to 24-bit/192 kHz.

FLEXIBLE I/O

With 10 inputs and 14 outputs, Apogee Symphony Desktop packs an impressive amount of connectivity into a compact package. Two mic/line combo jacks and a dedicated hi-z input enable you to record virtually any instrument.

Connect Apogee Symphony Desktop to your favorite studio monitors using the dedicated two monitor outputs. Or dial in separate artist and engineer mixes using two built-in headphone outputs. Expand your I/O even farther via two Optical Toslink connections.

Apogee Symphony Desktop’s high-resolution TFT touchscreen offers intuitive hands-on control, while the Symphony Desktop Control application lets you adjust settings remotely.

APOGEE FX PLUG-INS

Apogee Symphony Desktop comes bundled with a carefully curated collection of high-quality plug-ins, including Symphony EQ, Symphony Compressor and Symphony Reverb.

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
Phil T.
The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
