Remember the Essentials

The Apogee Electronics Symphony I/O Chassis is required.  Make sure to get the chassis.

The AO16 from Apogee is a 16-channel optical digital input and 16-channel analog output 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 clarity and transparency and a more efficient power distribution. The module features enhanced C777 clocking performance and lower converter latency.

The analog outputs require optional breakout cables, available in various configurations to suit individual requirements.
