Artists using Symphony I/O

Young Guru on Apogee Symphony I/O I was astounded at the Symphony I/O. The depth, the 3-D characteristic to it is kind of an intangible thing that you can't really explain...You FEEL it. There was a feeling of more of that openness and air around everything and the detail and the 3-D quality that is what we all really hope for when we record music.

Sky is the limit

"Rock and roll, sweetness, awe, I am on cloud 9 with this superb piece of gear. You can tell immediately that Apogee has spared no expense to go a level beyond where there were. If you think they were good...........think again. Then there is the simplicity of set up."

 

 

Media Reviews

 

Professional Audio (Germany)October 2011

"With the Symphony I/O Apogee has created an audio interface with cult potential that belongs to the absolute top devices in the market. It is enormously pliable because of the modular design and the performance is outstanding. Soundwise the new converters exceed the highly respected older Apogee converters."
