Apogee Electronics Symphony I/O Mk II 32x32 Special Edition Thunderbolt Audio Interface

Apogee Electronics sets a new standard with the flagship Symphony I/O Mk II 32x32 Special Edition Thunderbolt, an audio interface that features the latest and greatest conversion technology from Apogee for ultralow latency, noise, and distortion. Loaded with two updated 16x16 SE AD/DA conversion cards, this interface sports 32-channel analog I/O across eight DB-25 ports, plus 2-channel S/PDIF I/O on four coaxial jacks for high-resolution sampling from 44.1 to 192 kHz.

This unit features two Thunderbolt ports for simple integration with Thunderbolt-connected macOS host devices. Like all Apogee Symphony I/O Mk II units, the 32x32 SE is a modular interface, with compatibility for numerous other optional modules, such as the eight-mic preamp module, allowing you to easily set up different configurations that will suit any application. Control is easy via the bright front-panel touchscreen and the convenient Symphony I/O Monitor Workflow software. This unit includes an AC power cord to get you started.

New I/O Cards

Hear the Difference

The 32x32 Special Edition is Apogee's best-performing conversion ever. With a greater dynamic range and a lower total harmonic distortion, your listening experience will forever change.

Built for Immersive Audio

20% More Efficient

In an impressive feat of electrical engineering, the two included 16x16 SE I/O modules have fewer parts than their predecessor while also running about 20% more efficiently. That means a cooler running interface, even in this fully loaded 32x32 chassis.

The Symphony I/O Mk II Family

Front-Panel Touchscreen

All of Symphony I/O Mk II's essential input and output settings can be accessed from the front-panel touchscreen. Change your input selection, monitoring levels, and mic pre gain, or calibrate your Symphony I/O Mk II to match the levels of the other analog gear in your system.

A high-resolution TFT display delivers all the visual feedback critical for recording and monitoring. Without looking at your computer, Symphony I/O Mk II lets you see metering for up to 64 channels of I/O, 32 inputs and 32 outputs, as well as signal levels, polarity, muting, phantom power, and Soft Limit.

Stay Cool with Dynamic Temperature

Symphony I/O Mk II features advanced controls to keep the unit running at an ideal temperature, ensuring the highest level of performance and reliability. The new temperature controls can be accessed form the touchscreen and control software and are complemented by an improved fan and chassis-ventilation design, which allows adequate component cooling to occur quietly.

Symphony Control Software

Symphony Control software for macOS gives you comprehensive access to all features and functions of Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt. Manage routing, control output levels, set calibration, set up multiple mixers, and more.

And with Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt's new Monitor Workflows, you can effortlessly configure and operate your monitoring system for Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and other immersive audio systems, with control of up to 32 speaker outputs.

Note:

Symphony Control also features compatibility with the optional Apogee Control hardware remote. Remote not included.

Standalone Mode

Standalone Routing lets you setup and use Symphony I/O Mk II without a computer. From the front-panel touchscreen, you can set up Symphony I/O Mk II for use in hi-fi systems or as a standalone AD/DA converter or preamp module.

ESS Sabre32 DAC Technology

The ESS Sabre32 32-bit Hyperstream DAC with Time Domain Jitter Eliminator offers unequalled dynamic range, ultralow distortion, and unmatched audio clarity free from input jitter. Symphony I/O Mk II's D/A section has been optimized with a more powerful, robust analog output driver.

This newly designed high-current low-impedance circuit is capable of driving virtually any input with absolutely no decrease in performance, regardless of the load presented by the connected gear. This becomes especially important when connecting vintage gear with difficult load impedances and elevated operating levels, sometimes over long cables Symphony I/O Mk II maintains fidelity and punch through it all.

Audiophile-Grade Headphone Monitoring with Constant Current Drive

Symphony I/O Mk II features a single ultrahigh-fidelity DAC and headphone amplifier featuring Apogee's Constant Current Drive technology, first introduced in the Apogee Groove. This unique approach to headphone amplification dynamically compensates for the nonlinearities of any connected headphones, providing massive power while maintaining extremely low distortion and linear frequency response.
