Apogee Symphony Desktop Symphony Desktop for Mac, iPad Pro and Windows includes the legendary sound quality of Apogee's Symphony I/O Mk II in a sleek and inspiring 10 × 14 audio interface that takes up very little space on your desk and is very easy to transport. With Symphony Desktop, musicians and producers have the ideal tool for recording, overdubbing, and mixing, with the most respected AD/DA converters and microphone preamplifiers in the music industry.

By combining superior performance with new features such as microphone preamplifier emulation, the Symphony ECS Channel Strip plugin, and ultra-low latency recording with hardware DSP and native Apogee FX plugins, Symphony Desktop will amplify your creativity in your studio or on the go and give your recordings Apogee sound quality.

As a product of the Symphony family, the new Desktop shares Apogee's mission to design the highest-performance audio interfaces using carefully selected cutting-edge analog and digital components.

Like the Symphony I/O Mk II, the Symphony Desktop analog-to-digital conversion stage features ultra-low distortion, fully differential analog operational amplifiers, and a cutting-edge A/D converter.

For digital-to-analog conversion, the new Symphony Desktop uses entirely new technology to deliver incredible Symphony DAC performance in a portable product, featuring a robust high-current, ultra-low distortion output driver.

Symphony Desktop microphone preamplifiers offer up to 75 dB of gain. The preamplifier design features Apogee's exclusive advanced stepped-gain architecture, ensuring ultra-low noise and distortion regardless of the source, from a kick drum to the delicate touch of an acoustic guitar. With variable impedance settings on the microphone and instrument inputs, Symphony Desktop optimizes the input stage to better match your specific devices, delivering deep lows and clear highs. Selectable Apogee Alloy microphone preamplifier emulations add character, attitude, and perhaps a little value to your recordings.
