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.
Connect to Pro Tools HD with the Apogee Electronics Symphony I/O MK II Pro Tools Card, an interface option card that connects to your Pro Tools hardware allowing you to share up to 32 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz or 16 bidirectional channels at 192 kHz across postproduction, broadcast, live sound, or recording studio networks.
The system can be configured with a number of custom options ranging from 8-32 analog I/O channels. The Pro Tools card can be upgraded with Audinate's Dante Brooklyn (sold separately), a versatile and full-featured solution that delivers multichannel Dante audio networking to your Pro Tools / Symphony setup. The optional Dante card allows up to 32 channels with Pro Tools and redundant Dante connectivity to be fitted into a single two-space rack device, providing the smallest footprint available with this feature set.
The Apogee Electronics DANTE BROOKLYN MODULE is an upgrade option designed for Apogee's SYM2-PTHD-PLUS-CARD Pro Tools Card HD. It utilizes Audinate's Dante Brooklyn II to allow for efficient routing of audio between a Dante network and Pro Tools HD sessions—offering flexibility in professional studio environments.
