What We Think

How do you improve upon one of the best sounding multi-channel converters on the market? That was the goal for Apogee’s exciting new Symphony I/O MKII, which features a sleek new touch screen display, a standard Thunderbolt connection option, and further improved converter technology. Additionally, Apogee plans to add connectivity options through HD and SoundGrid expansion cards later this year, giving the Symphony system even more compatibility with a huge amount of existing systems. One of our absolute favorite improvements to the Symphony design is a quieter cooling fan. The fan on the previous model was known to have occasional noise issues when recording quieter, more intimate sources in the same room as the Symphony system, so this improvement is sure to make the lives of home-studio engineers after pro-level converter technology much easier!

Manufacturer's Description from Apogee

NOW OPTIMIZED FOR ATMOS

Mixing for Dolby Atmos and other immersive 3D formats is rapidly becoming an essential skill for the modern creator and engineer. As streaming services highlight immersive content and record companies require immersive audio deliverables, you may be asking yourself “how do I get started”?

With Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt’s Monitor Workflows, you’ll effortlessly configure and operate your monitoring system for Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio and other immersive audio systems with control of up to 32 Speaker outputs.

Optimize Your Workflow

Within each Monitor Workflow, you design the audio flow from your DAW outputs, Symphony internal mixers and hardware inputs to your expanded speaker array. Use these features to customize your Workflow:

Source Routing - Choose Playback (from your DAW), Mixer or Hardware inputs sources for each Speaker output pair.
Speaker Sets - Create up to 3 Speaker Sets, then instantly toggle between them from Symphony Control software
Speaker Level Trim - Creating the perfect level balance between all your speakers
Speaker Mute/Solo - Resolve issues in your configuration quickly with mute and solo buttons
Speaker Status Icon- Color coded icons let you see your active speakers at a glance
Easily Configure and Access up to 16 Monitor Workflows

In the modern production environment, you need to be able to completely reconfigure your monitoring system at the touch of a button. Symphony I/O Mk II allows you to create up to 16 Monitor Workflows, then instantly toggle between them from Symphony Control software, the front panel touchscreen, or the Apogee Control hardware remote.

Plug and Play Atmos with Logic Pro X

Getting started with Dolby Atmos has never been easier using Logic Pro 10.7 and Symphony I/O Thunderbolt! In the past, setting up your Dolby Atmos studio was a multi-day affair, but now it’s plug and play with the latest from Apple and Apogee.

Get Started Right Away

With such flexible monitor controller functionality incorporated at no extra cost for current and future owners, Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt makes the best cornerstone of your Dolby Atmos or other immersive audio studio.

About Manufacturer

Apogee was founded in 1985 and initially made its name designing filters. Later, Apogee's complete conversion systems pushed the envelope of digital audio quality and solved many of the early problems with digital audio technology. Apogee converters have become regarded as the reference standard for digital audio conversion. Products such as the award-winning Rosetta 800, AD16x and DA16x have become the modern benchmark by which digital audio conversion is judged. A new generation of Apogee products including the revolutionary Symphony I/O, with its modular design and flexible connectivity, promise to extend the Apogee legacy and further advance the art of digital audio.
