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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eTRUE THUNDERBOLT PERFORMANCE\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSymphony I\/O Mk II Thunderbolt delivers the full potential of Thunderbolt 2 performance with the lowest latency, unmatched CPU efficiency and 2 ports for connecting additional peripherals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eAPOGEE NETWORK CONTROL SOFTWARE\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eSymphony 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eControl all Symphony I\/O Mk II settings from calibration to monitors to mic preamps\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEasy drag-and-drop setup and color coding organization features\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eView up to 6 devices in one window\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eView up to 32 inputs and outputs per device simultaneously\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eView up to 192 inputs and 192 outputs per tab simultaneously\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSee critical network and system status information at a glance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003emacOS and Windows 10 compatible\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eAdvanced Stepped Gain Architecture Mic Preamps\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eApogee 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003e8×8 ANALOG I\/O + 8 MIC PRE + AES\/OPTICAL I\/O MODULE (ONE)\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINPUTS\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalog IN: 8 balanced inputs on 1 DSUB 25-pin connector\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e8 microphone preamps with up to 72dB of gain (featuring Advanced Stepped Gain Architecture)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAES-EBU IN: 8 inputs on 1 DSUB 25-pin connector (192k single wide compatible)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptical IN: Supports ADAT, SMUX \u0026amp; S\/PDIF\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eADAT: 8 channels 44.1-48 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSMUX: 8 channels 88.2-96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eS\/PDIF: 2 channels, up to 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoax IN: 2 channels of S\/PDIF, up to 192 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUTPUTS\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalog OUT: 8 balanced outputs on 1 DSUB 25-pin connector\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAES-EBU OUT: 8 outputs on 1 DSUB 25-pin connector\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e(192k single wide compatible)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptical OUT: Supports ADAT, SMUX \u0026amp; S\/PDIF\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eADAT: 8 channels 44.1-48 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSMUX: 8 channels 88.2-96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eS\/PDIF: 2 channels, up to 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCoax OUT: 2 channels of S\/PDIF, up to 192 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Apogee Digital","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451318988903,"sku":"488122","price":4129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/apogee-symphony-i-o-mkii-thunderbolt-interface-with-8x8-analog-preamp-8x8-aes-ste1016063510-used_488122_1.jpg?v=1787096767","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/apogee-symphony-i-o-mkii-thunderbolt-interface-with-8x8-analog-preamp-8x8-aes-ste1016063510-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
