Apogee - 16X16SE

Description

Legendary Sound Quality
Apogee engineers have made it their passion to improve every new flagship product by using the latest in electrical components and designing optimized circuitry that often exceeds the expectations of the component manufacturer. This is the Apogee Advantage. Symphony I/O Mk II is the culmination of this 30 year commitment and raises the bar on all Apogee products before it with even better audio clarity and sonic transparency.

In fact, when equipped with either the 8x8 or 16x16 modules, Symphony I/O Mk II outperforms all other multi-channel audio interfaces available for Pro Tools HD, network or Thunderbolt based systems, making it the flagship audio interface for the entire professional audio industry and the obvious choice for countless GRAMMY winning artists, producers, songwriters and engineers.

Hear the difference
The 16x16 Special Edition is Apogee's best-performing conversion...ever. With a greater dynamic range and a lower total harmonic distortion, your listening experience will forever change.

Built for Immersive Audio
Start working with Immersive audio systems without needing an external monitor controller. Thanks to Symphony I/O's Monitor Workflow.

20% More Efficient
In a masterful feat of electrical engineering, the 16x16 SE I/O module has fewer parts than its predecessor while also running about 20% more efficiently. That means a cooler running interface, even with a fully loaded 32x32 chassis.
