With two conversion module slots and capacity for up to 32 A\/D and D\/A conversion inputs and outputs per unit, the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE offers the best value per channel of any interface in its category.\u003cbr\u003eThe APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE features Thunderbolt connections for linking to a Mac and use with any Core Audio compatible DAW, such as Logic Pro X, with latency under 1.35 ms in Logic Pro X (96kHz \/ 32 buffer) or others.\u003cbr\u003eAll main input and output settings of the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE are accessible from the new touchscreen front panel, allowing you to change input type, monitor levels, adjust Mic Pre gain, or calibrate the Symphony I\/O Mk II to match the levels of analog equipment in your setup. The high-resolution TFT display provides practical visual feedback during recording and listening phases. Without needing to look at the computer screen, the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE allows you to monitor up to 64 I\/O channels (32 IN x 32 OUT) and control their main parameters such as signal levels, polarity, mute, phantom power, and Soft Limit.\u003cbr\u003eThe APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE is equipped with an advanced control system that ensures operation at the ideal temperature, guaranteeing maximum performance and reliability. The temperature control system is complemented by a new improved fan and a redesigned chassis that silently cool the components.\u003cbr\u003eThe new Symphony Control software has been rebuilt from scratch and replaces Apogee’s Maestro software for the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE. Symphony Control offers all the functionalities of Maestro in a new, highly customizable user interface, with innovative features such as Talkback, Surround Sound for 5.1, 7.1, 9.1 AMBEO and 11.1 ATMOS monitoring, the simplified \"Essentials\" control window, and the recently introduced FX Send mixer functionality, also available in the Element Control software.\u003cbr\u003eApogee Control provides immediate access to input and output levels, using the large control knob and 3 Symphony-inspired selection buttons, plus direct access to a wide range of software functions using 8 user-customizable buttons. The Apogee Control hardware remote connects directly to your Mac using the included USB cable.\u003cbr\u003eUsers of the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE can now use 2 units simultaneously. The APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE combined with Logic Pro and a Mac computer allows for the most advanced native workstation available, with a high number of superior quality recording channels and incredibly low latency.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the touchscreen front panel, you can set up the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE to use Apogee's flagship AD\/DA conversion with Windows DAW workstations, digital consoles, and even Hi-Fi systems. Standalone mode allows you to connect the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE to the digital I\/Os of these devices to bypass their AD\/DA converters and use Apogee's.\u003cbr\u003eThe analog stage in the 8x8 and 16x16 modules uses the same differential op-amps found in the first version of Symphony I\/O, but the circuit has been further simplified to provide the most transparent signal path possible. The Dual Sum A\/D stage, where two conversion stages are summed for each analog channel, offers the lowest distortion and highest dynamic range of any converter ever designed.\u003cbr\u003eThe D\/A section of the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE has been optimized with a more robust and powerful output path. The new high-voltage, low-impedance circuit can drive virtually any input without any reduction in performance, regardless of the load presented by the connected device. This feature is particularly advantageous when connecting vintage devices with difficult load impedances or high operating levels, or via long cables.\u003cbr\u003eThe headphone output of the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE features Apogee's new Constant Current Drive technology (first introduced in Groove), where the output stage dynamically compensates for the non-linear response, caused by mechanical or acoustic defects, of any headphone, also reducing distortion and making the frequency response more linear.\u003cbr\u003eThe 32-bit ESS Sabre32 DAC with Time Domain Jitter Eliminator technology offers unparalleled dynamic range, extremely low distortion, and unprecedented jitter-free audio clarity at the input.\u003cbr\u003eThe proprietary driver for the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE includes the revolutionary Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine for efficient reading and writing of data directly from Mac memory, completely independent of the CPU.\u003cbr\u003eThe APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE also includes the Apogee Network Control software, which provides remote access to all interface settings. From the computer, you can calibrate all channels, set monitor output levels, select the analog level type, adjust microphone preamplifier gain, and more. Drag-and-drop configuration and color coding allow you to create custom settings screens to view up to 6 devices in a single window. Apogee Network Control works with Mac OS X and Windows 10 and is compatible with the Apogee Control remote controller.\u003cbr\u003eWith a single Ethernet cable, the APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE can be easily connected and shared within a post-production, broadcast, live, and recording studio network, bringing Apogee's legendary sound quality to the world's most widely used audio-over-IP network.\u003cbr\u003eThe APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII DANTE also includes Pro Tools connectivity to easily integrate a Pro Tools | HD system into a Dante network without additional hardware. No other Dante-enabled interface offers this level of quality, flexibility, and modularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePro Tools HD Connectivity: Up to 32 bidirectional channels at 96kHz or 16 bidirectional channels at 192kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePro Tools HD Connectivity: Up to 32 bidirectional channels with 192kHz resolution on Pro Tools HD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAbility to send Symphony I\/O physical inputs or Dante Rx channels to Pro Tools inputs in blocks of 8 channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePro Tools HD outputs can be routed to Dante Tx channels and Symphony I\/O physical outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eInteroperable network technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWorks seamlessly with any other Dante-powered device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAnalog-to-Digital Conversion\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: -114dB @ 22dBu (0.00020%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: 122dB A weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum input level (+4 dBu ref\/Mic): +24 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum input level (-10 dBV ref): +6 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response at 44.1 kHz: 1-20,000 Hz (+\/- 0.05dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 10K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDigital-to-Analog Conversion\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: -117dB @ 21dBu (0.00014%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: 129dB A weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum output levels: +24dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response at 44.1 kHz: dc to 20kHz (+\/- 0.05dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: 25 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInputs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog IN: 8 balanced inputs on 1 25-pin DSUB connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAES-EBU IN: 8 inputs on 1 25-pin DSUB connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOptical input: supports ADAT, SMUX, and S\/PDIF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eADAT: 8 channels 44.1-48 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSMUX: 8 channels 88.2-96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eS\/PDIF: 2 channels, up to 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCoaxial input: 2 S\/PDIF channels, up to 192 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOutputs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog OUT: 8 balanced outputs on 1 25-pin DSUB connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAES-EBU OUT: 8 outputs on 1 25-pin DSUB connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOptical output: supports ADAT, SMUX, and S\/PDIF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eADAT: 8 channels 44.1-48 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSMUX: 8 channels 88.2-96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eS\/PDIF: 2 channels, up to 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCoax OUT: 2 S\/PDIF channels, up to 192 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHeadphone Output\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1 stereo headphone output with 1\/4” jack on the front panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: -110dB @19dBu into 600 Ohm (=80mW)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: -101dB @14dBu into 32 Ohm (=470mW)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: 121dB A weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eApogee's Constant Current Drive technology for a more linear frequency response with any headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: 90-240VAC, 50-60Hz, 150W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible operating systems: Mac OS 10.9.5 or higher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APOGEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53994242769229,"sku":"13668","price":5579.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0643\/6173\/files\/147859-large_default.jpg?v=1779953498","url":"https:\/\/musicdelivery.net\/en\/products\/apogee-symphony-i-o-8x8-mkii-dante","provider":"Music Delivery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
