The Magic is in the Modules

The I/O Modules are the sound and soul of Symphony I/O, and represent 25 years of Apogee R&D and design excellence. These powerful Modules deliver Apogee’s core competency, superior sounding digital audio recording. With 5 available I/O Modules, you can choose from standard configurations or customize the following: channel count, analog to digital input, digital to analog output, mic preamps and digital I/O. You compose your Symphony I/O.

Highlights:
  • The culmination of 25 years of Apogee’s digital recording technology
  • The most advanced AD/DA conversion available
  • 5 I/O Modules to choose from
  • 8 channel mic preamp module with 4 instrument inputs and 8 inserts points
