Product Overview
Taking advantage of advancements in digital and analog audio technology, Apogee's Thunderbolt-configured SYM2-2X6SE is part of their Symphony I/O MKII series of analog/digital interfaces which offers the highest quality AD/DA conversion in Apogee's 30-year history and specifically designed for mastering engineers whose critical work demands the ultimate in sonic performance. It features 2 analog line-level inputs using XLR connectors, great for connecting to mic preamps, outboard gear, or any line-level signal, providing 124 dB (A) of dynamic range and THD+N of -116 dB, while employing the absolute best conversion. Its output section has 6 line-level outs that feature 131 dB (A) dynamic range and an astoundingly low -118 dB of THD+N, all via DB-25 connectors – great for multiple monitor pairs, or even 5.1 surround mixing.
