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
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.
