With two conversion module slots and the capability for up to 32 A\/D and D\/A conversion inputs and outputs per unit, APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT offers the best value per channel of any interface in its category.\u003cbr\u003eAPOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT features Thunderbolt connections for linking to a Mac and use with any Core Audio compatible DAW, such as Logic Pro X, with latency below 1.35 ms in Logic Pro X (96kHz \/ 32 buffer) or others. \u003cbr\u003eAll main input and output settings of APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT are accessible from the new touchscreen front panel, allowing you to change input type, monitor levels, adjust Mic Pre gain, or calibrate Symphony I\/O Mk II to match the levels of analog equipment in your setup. The high-resolution TFT display provides convenient visual feedback during recording and listening phases. Without needing to look at the computer screen, APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT allows you to monitor up to 64 I\/O channels (32 IN x 32 OUT) and control main parameters such as signal levels, polarity, mute, phantom power, and Soft Limit.\u003cbr\u003eAPOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT 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 cool components silently.\u003cbr\u003eThe new Symphony Control software has been rebuilt from scratch and replaces Apogee’s Maestro software for APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT. 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, a simplified \"Essentials\" control window, and the FX Send mixer functionality, recently introduced also in 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, in addition to direct access to a wide range of software functions using the 8 user-customizable buttons. The Apogee Control hardware remote connects directly to your Mac using the included USB cable.\u003cbr\u003eUsers of APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT can now use 2 units simultaneously. APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT combined with Logic Pro and a Mac computer creates the most advanced native workstation available today, with a high number of superior quality recording channels and incredibly low latency.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the touch screen front panel, APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT can be configured to use Apogee's flagship AD\/DA conversion with Windows DAW workstations, digital consoles, and even Hi-Fi systems. Standalone mode allows APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT to connect to the digital I\/Os of these devices to bypass their AD\/DA converters and use Apogee's instead.\u003cbr\u003eThe analog stage present 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 APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT has been optimized with a more robust and powerful output path. The new high-voltage, low-impedance circuit is capable of driving 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 THUNDERBOLT features Apogee's new Constant Current Drive technology (first introduced in Groove), where the output stage dynamically compensates for non-linear response, caused by mechanical or acoustic defects, of any headphone, also reducing distortion and linearizing the frequency response. \u003cbr\u003eThe ESS Sabre32 32-bit DAC with Time Domain Jitter Eliminator technology offers unmatched dynamic range, extremely low distortion, and unprecedented jitter-free audio clarity at the input.\u003cbr\u003eThe proprietary driver for APOGEE SYMPHONY I\/O 8X8 MKII THUNDERBOLT 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 THUNDERBOLT includes 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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\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 linearizes the frequency response with any headphone\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":53994242277709,"sku":"13628","price":4451.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/0643\/6173\/files\/147844-large_default.jpg?v=1779953491","url":"https:\/\/musicdelivery.net\/en\/products\/apogee-symphony-i-o-8x8-mkii-thunderbolt","provider":"Music Delivery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
