Apogee Electronics sets a new standard with the flagship Symphony I/O Mk II 16x16 Special Edition Thunderbolt, an audio interface that features the latest and greatest conversion technology from Apogee for ultralow latency, noise, and distortion. Loaded with the updated 16x16 SE AD/DA conversion card, this interface sports 16-channel analog DB-25 I/O, plus 2-channel S/PDIF I/O for high-resolution sampling from 44.1 to 192 kHz.
This unit features two Thunderbolt ports for simple integration with Thunderbolt-connected macOS host devices. Like all Apogee Symphony I/O Mk II units, the 16x16 SE is a modular interface, allowing you to expand as you go for a maximum of 32 analog inputs and outputs, as well as numerous other optional modules for different configurations that will suit any application. Control is easy via the bright front-panel touchscreen and the convenient Symphony I/O Monitor Workflow software. This unit includes an AC power cord to get you started.
A high-resolution TFT display delivers all the visual feedback critical for recording and monitoring. Without looking at your computer, Symphony I/O Mk II lets you see metering for up to 64 channels of I/O, 32 inputs and 32 outputs, as well as signal levels, polarity, muting, phantom power, and Soft Limit.
And with Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt’s new Monitor Workflows, you can 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.
This newly designed high-current low-impedance circuit is capable of driving virtually any input with absolutely no decrease in performance, regardless of the load presented by the connected gear. This becomes especially important when connecting vintage gear with difficult load impedances and elevated operating levels, sometimes over long cables—Symphony I/O Mk II maintains fidelity and punch through it all.
