The Apogee Electronics Symphony I/O Chassis is required. Make sure to get the chassis.
The A8OP from Apogee is an 8-channel analog I/O and 8-channel digital audio I/O module for the Symphony I/O. The module occupies one of the two slots available on the chassis and represents 25 years of Apogee research and design excellence.
Refined and updated circuitry with fewer, more advanced components allows for a shorter audio path, resulting in more recording clarity and transparency and a more efficient power distribution. The module features enhanced C777 clocking performance and lower converter latency.
The analog I/O requires optional breakout cables, available in various configurations to suit individual requirements.
- Analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog module for the Symphony I/O system
- 8-channels of balanced analog input and output and up to 8-channels digital input and output (optical and S/PDIF) available simultaneously
- Ultra low latency AD/DA conversion
- Software controlled AD/DA reference setting
- Digital to analog outputs are balanced through Apogee's proprietary Perfect Symmetry Circuitry (PSC)
- Enhanced C777 clocking performance
- Entire audio path is DC coupled, resulting in ultra flat frequency response and extremely low phase error
- Variable gain input for keyboards

Comments about Apogee Electronics A8OP - Analog and Optical Digital Audio Module for Symphony I/O:
I record straight into the symphony I/O using API preamps and sometimes using my tape machine to transfer freshly recorded analog signal. The quality of conversion is quite remarkable. I enjoy the fact that you can push the level just high enough to experience this converter's soft limiter naturally curve your peaks maintaining the integrity of the overall recorded sound. Less fear and more exploration in a device usually considered least flexible such as a converter.
