Thunderbolt Performance
Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt gives you the full potential of Thunderbolt 2 performance with lowest latency, unmatched CPU efficiency, and 2 ports for connecting additional peripherals.
Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt is based on Apogee’s proprietary Thunderbolt driver, designed from the ground up to deliver unmatched performance and efficiency. If you’re using Logic Pro X, latency is reduced to an astonishing 1.35 ms (round-trip*) so you can monitor through your DAW, including plug-ins. This simplifies your workflow and leverages the power of your Mac. Even if your session’s DSP needs require a higher buffer setting, Symphony I/O’s ultra-low latency means you no longer have to choose between power and speed.
To accommodate different workflow preferences, Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt offers optional direct hardware monitoring via Symphony Control software with a latency of 0.6 ms (Logic Pro X at 96kHz / 32 buffer settings).
Devours Bits. Sips CPU.
The Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt custom driver includes a breakthrough Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine that reads and writes data more efficiently directly to Mac memory, independent of the Mac CPU. The DMA engine runs on the Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt’s hardware logic chip, increasing the driver’s efficiency to deliver the highest possible resolution signal to the DAC stage. This implementation allows the driver to process massive amounts of data at amazing speeds, while placing minimal demands on your Mac’s CPU. You’ll benefit from lower latency, more plug-in performance, and a transparent and comprehensive listening experience.
EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL
Symphony Control software for macOS gives you comprehensive access to all the features and functions of the Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt. You can set gain levels (preamp modules only), manage routing, control output levels, adjust calibration, set up multiple mixers, and more.
And with Symphony I/O Mk II Thunderbolt’s new monitor workflows, you can easily configure and operate your monitoring system for Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and other immersive audio systems, and control up to 32 speaker outputs.
Symphony Control is also compatible with the new Apogee Control hardware remote.
