Product Info
...express yourself.
Apogee’s Symphony PCI Express card is a digital computer interface that is based on the PCI-Express architecture for Apple’s Macintosh computers. Controlled by Apogee’s Maestro software, Symphony features 32 channels of digital I/O on a single PCI-Express card format. With support for sample rates up to 192 kHz, Symphony can be used as a digital router or patch-bay when connected to external converters or other digital outboard equipment. Software drivers for Symphony feature extensive routing capabilities and very low latency performance making very high channel, high quality native recording with Apogee converters a reality. Symphony is the professional audio standard for native workstations.
Up to 192 simultaneous channels of audio.
With the ability to install three cards in Apple’s G5, Symphony is the only connectivity solution that offers high end, professional users the capability to utilize up to 192 channels of audio simultaneously in a single computer, providing more than enough I/O for even the biggest scoring sessions.
Take control with maestro.
Maestro is an innovative software interface between OS X applications (OS 10.4 and above) and Apogee hardware. Maestro is capable of controlling Apogee hardware I/O connected to the computer via FireWire, Symphony, (Apogee’s PCI Express card), or both at the same time.
Maestro features, multiple low latency mixers, hardware control panels, an input/output routing matrix that is compatible with Rosetta 800, Rosetta 200, AD-16X and DA-16X and a universal control platform for using Apogee hardware in combination with Ensemble.
The total native solution.
The sound quality and versatility of Apogee converters in combination with Symphony and a high-end CoreAudio application, creates the most powerful 32-plus channel workstation available, at a lower cost per channel than any other system.
