Apogee SYMPHONYDESK Desktop Interface

Merging the sound quality of the rackmount Symphony I/O Mk II with the simplicity of the Duet and Quartet, the Apogee Electronics Symphony Desktop is professionally designed for musicians and producers premium Apogee fidelity, flexible I/O, and powerful plug-in processing in a travel-friendly form factor.

It comes with emulations of vintage British and American mic preamps, DSP/native Apogee FX plug-ins, and multiple zero-latency plug-in workflows, the Symphony Desktop is intended for putting you in complete control of your tone. Thanks to its color touchscreen and large control knob, the Symphony Desktop is providing an easy operation and comprehensive visual feedback.

Record mic-, line-, or instrument-level signals through the variable-impedance, high-gain preamps and use the monitor outputs and assignable headphone jacks for listening to the main mix or an alternate source. Expand your setup by connecting external digital equipment to the optical TOSLINK ports, which support 8-channel ADAT or 2-channel S/PDIF protocols.

Included Mic Preamp Emulations

British Solid State: Class-A console sound inspired by the Marinair round can input transformer and discrete transistor design of the Class-A Neve 1066 mic preamp
American Tube: lush, vintage-style tone inspired by a 1950s Ampex 601 preamp that was restored and modded for lower noise and greater dynamic range

Flexible Plug-In Workflows

Symphony ECS gives you the full range of Apogee workflow options. For zero latency tracking, you can print through it as you record or set up a DualPath Link for monitoring and print later when you mix. Or simply use Symphony ECS as a native plug-in in your DAW, no Apogee hardware required.
