Designed for discerning audio engineers, the Apogee 16 Mic Pres + AES/Optical I/O Module is a Connect Series module intended for use with Symphony I/O Mk II Audio Interfaces. Simply slot it into your Symphony I/O Mk II (only for Thunderbolt or Dante configurations), and you'll instantly have 16 mic/line inputs, as well as 16 channels of AES digital outputs. The module also provides output connections for ADAT, S/PDIF, and SMUX over TOSLINK optical ports, as well as S/PDIF I/O up to 192 kHz over coaxial terminations.
The module can handle sample rates of up to 192 kHz, depending on the digital connection, and offers a low latency of 1.35 ms at 96 kHz. On the analog side, you'll note the 72 dB of gain available in 1 dB increments with noiseless gain adjustments, as well as switchable impedances to support passive mic splitting in live-performance applications.
Once the unit is slotted into your Symphony I/O Mk II, you'll be able to control all the mic preamps from the front panel, or utilize Apogee's control software to make changes within your computer.
- Up to 72 dB of gain in 1 dB increments, noiseless gain adjustment
