What are Symphony I/O users saying
 |
|
"...what I was looking for in choosing my A/D converters was simplicity, and a reputation for great sound. There's a lot of work to get done down in my little studio dungeon, and I needed to jump straight to the gear that would be dependably high quality... Symphony I/O, the choice was easy."
|
 |
|
"I've been using Apogee products from the beginning and the Symphony I/O is unquestionably the most transparent and best sounding converter ever! I'm proud to have it in my arsenal of mastering gear; I use it every day."

"I like using my Apogee's over a lot of other products. It has a nice open sound, but more than anything, it's a clean transfer and it's transparent. Good job guys!"

"Everything is so much clearer now! With Symphony I/O, I don't hear anything but what comes off the console, exactly as it went in. After switching, my mastering engineer said to me, 'I don't know what you're doing differently, but it sounds like you've cleaned the windshield!"

Wow....Truly a GameChanger for Me! No Regrets...Get One Now!
I've been a long-time Apogee product owner. Prior to purchase of the Symphony I/O, I was owner of both an Apogee Duet & Apogee Ensemble. The Ensemble & Duet are great products, but honestly, the Apogee Symphony is in another class altogether. I bought this product expecting a subtle change in results...what I got was a giant step forward in quality. The Symphony provides so much more detail & depth to my recordings and I can hear things I couldn't hear before during mixing. This isn't a small investment, but honestly, the jump up in sonic quality is sizeable, not marginal. Definitely one of the best investments I've made! KUDOS Apogee & the support I've received from Jeff @ Sweetwater on this has been second to none! Thank You!

Sound on Sound
"With versatile I/O complements, comprehensive software control, and the ability to connect directly to computers via USB, 64PCIe interface, or Pro Tools HD interface, the Symphony is a very attractive system. The quality of the audio signal path lives up to Apogee's claims - this is a very nice and extremely transparent-sounding converter..."
