The ultimate music-production centerpiece for any modern commercial, project, or personal studio, the Apogee Electronics Symphony Mk II Thunderbolt + Pro Tools HD Plus / Dante Interface with 16x16 SE and 2x6 SE Modules is designed to deliver high-performance A/D and D/A conversion at up to 192 kHz for mixing and mastering engineers using a thunderbolt system. The included 16x16 SE and 2x6 SE I/O modules offer stunning dynamic range with low distortion and noise for mastering-grade sonic quality. The system is Dolby Atmos ready.
This configuration gives you a total of 18 analog inputs on two DB-25 connectors and two XLR connectors, plus 22 analog outputs on three DB-25 connectors. You also get two channels of AES I/O on XLR connectors, up to sixteen channels of ADAT I/O via optical connectors, and four channels of S/PDIF I/O via RCA connectors. The chassis utilizes USB-C (Thunderbolt) connectivity for high-speed data transfer rates, compatibility with your computer, and DigiLink connectivity to your Pro Tools HD hardware. Its front-panel presents a TFT touchscreen display, multifunction control knob, and convenient 1/4" stereo headphone output.
Audio professionals looking for the very best converters will appreciate the updated Apogee Electronics 16x16 SE Module, a sixteen-channel analog input and sixteen-channel analog output module for the Symphony I/O Mk II. The module occupies one of the two slots available on the chassis. Additionally, two-channel coaxial S/PDIF input and output is also provided. The A/D circuit has been refined to offer a streamlined circuit design, resulting in the most transparent signal path to the A/D stage possible.
The D/A section has been optimized with a more powerful and robust output driver that is capable of driving virtually any input without a decrease in performance, regardless of the load presented by the connected gear. The analog inputs and outputs are offered on DB-25 connectors and require optional breakout cables, available in various configurations to suit individual requirements.
The Apogee Electronics 2x6 SE is a special-edition mastering I/O card designed to deliver high-performance A/D and D/A conversion at up to 192 kHz for mixing and mastering engineers in personal, project, and commercial studios. It features low THD+N (-116 dB for analog inputs, -118 dB for analog outputs) and high dynamic range (124 dBA for analog inputs and 131 dBA for analog outputs) for uncompromising accuracy and detail.
Its analog I/O includes two inputs on XLR 3-pin jacks and six outputs on a DB25 connector. Additional XLR, TOSLINK optical, and RCA coaxial jacks provide connectivity for AES/EBU, ADAT, and S/PDIF digital inputs and outputs. The 2x6 SE is easily installed in a Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt or Pro Tools HD chassis.
