The Apogee Symphony I/O Mk II features Apogee’s newest flagship AD/DA conversion, modular I/O (available in multiple I/O configurations: 2x6, 8x8, 16x16), intuitive touchscreen display and optional world-class microphone preamps, designed to deliver professional sound quality for audio recording, mixing and mastering.
Waves SoundGrid is a real-time processing and networking platform that allows offloading plugin processing from the computer to an external processing platform, connected simply over Ethernet. SoundGrid integrates seamlessly with all DAWs, providing endless possibilities for setups of every size in studio, live and post-production workflows, through a simple Ethernet connection. Users can easily connect multiple spaces and multiple workstations, and experience almost infinite DSP power to build an ideal audio network solution. Adding a network switch to connect several interfaces, additional workstations, and external DSP power to offload the studio’s DAW processing, allows running hundreds of SoundGrid-compatible plugins simultaneously.
The Symphony I/O Mk II can also be used with Waves’ eMotion LV1 software mixer, a revolutionary digital mixing console for front-of-house, monitor and broadcast engineers. Waves’ eMotion LV1 comes in three configurations: 64, 32 or 16 stereo/mono input channels. It uses the SoundGrid infrastructure for audio networking and can be controlled by hardware control surfaces and multi-touch devices, ranging from multiple 5-point touchscreens to a single laptop or tablet. Combined with a SoundGrid enabled Symphony I/O Mk II and Waves plugins, user can have access to a superior sounding live system for a fraction of the cost of alternative solutions.
“We’re very pleased to be working with Waves to bring a SoundGrid-enabled Symphony I/O Mk II to Apogee and Waves customers,” says Sean McArthur, Director of Marketing for Apogee Electronics. “Symphony I/O Mk II is a flagship product that reflects more than 30 years of our expertise in making superior digital audio recording interfaces and it’s a platform we are still building on. Adding SoundGrid connectivity to Symphony offers customers the best of both worlds in professional audio quality and ultra-low latency plugin processing over a network. It’s an ideal solution for studio recording and live sound production.”
