Standalone mode allows APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII PTHD to be connected 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 A\/D Dual Sum stage, where two conversion states 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 APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII PTHD 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 performance reduction, 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 APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII PTHD 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 headphones, 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 jitter-free audio clarity at the input, unprecedented.\u003cbr\u003eThe proprietary driver of APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII PTHD includes the revolutionary Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine for efficient data reading and writing directly from Mac memory, completely independent of the CPU.\u003cbr\u003eAPOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII PTHD includes Apogee Network Control software which provides remote access to all interface settings. From your computer, you can calibrate all channels, set monitor output levels, select 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\u003eAPOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII PTHD was designed for Pro Tools HD users who need a multi-channel audio interface with the best sound quality, at an extremely affordable cost per channel. APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII PTHD can connect directly to the Digilink port of Pro Tools HDX, Pro Tools HD Native or Pro Tools Core\/Accel systems, and works on PC and Mac*.\u003cbr\u003eAPOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII PTHD can be used with or in place of AVID® or Digidesign® interfaces for Pro Tools HD: each I\/O module installed in APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII PTHD will appear and function in Pro Tools HD exactly as if it were an Avid I\/O HD* interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest performance of any multi-channel interface for Pro Tools HD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest value per channel of any interface for Pro Tools HD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect connection to any Pro Tools HD system (PC\/Mac) via DigiLink port*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmulation of Avid HD I\/O interfaces (including sample-accurate delay compensation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection of multiple units to the same system (1 Symphony I\/O Mk II HD per HD Digilink port)*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalibration and access to main I\/O parameters via touchscreen front panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAnalog-to-Digital Conversion\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: -114dB @ 22dBu (0.00020%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: 122dB A weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum input level (+4 dBu ref\/Mic): +24 dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum input level (-10 dBV ref): +6 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response at 44.1 kHz: 1-20,000 Hz (+\/- 0.05dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 10K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDigital-to-Analog Conversion\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: -117dB @ 21dBu (0.00014%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: 129dB A weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum output levels: +24dBu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response at 44.1 kHz: dc to 20kHz (+\/- 0.05dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: 25 Ohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInputs\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog IN: 8 balanced inputs on 1 25-pin DSUB connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAES-EBU IN: 8 inputs on 1 25-pin DSUB connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical input: supports ADAT, SMUX and S\/PDIF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADAT: 8 channels 44.1-48 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSMUX: 8 channels 88.2-96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\/PDIF: 2 channels, up to 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoaxial input: 2 S\/PDIF channels, up to 192 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOutputs\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog OUT: 8 balanced outputs on 1 25-pin DSUB connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAES-EBU OUT: 8 outputs on 1 25-pin DSUB connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical output: supports ADAT, SMUX and S\/PDIF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADAT: 8 channels 44.1-48 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSMUX: 8 channels 88.2-96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS\/PDIF: 2 channels, up to 96 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoax OUT: 2 S\/PDIF channels, up to 192 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHeadphone Output\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 stereo headphone output with 1\/4” jack on the front panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: -110dB @19dBu into 600 Ohm (=80mW)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: -101dB @14dBu into 32 Ohm (=470mW)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: 121dB A weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApogee's Constant Current Drive technology that makes the frequency response more linear with any headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: 90-240VAC, 50-60Hz, 150W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible operating systems: Mac OS 10.9.5 or higher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APOGEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53994242638157,"sku":"13636","price":4451.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0643\/6173\/files\/147864-large_default.jpg?v=1779953495","url":"https:\/\/musicdelivery.net\/en\/products\/apogee-symphony-i-o-8x8-mkii-pthd","provider":"Music Delivery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
