Apogee Symphony Desktop

USB-C audio interface

The Symphony Desktop is a compact, high-end interface that benefits from the legendary sound quality of the Symphony I/O Mk II. This desktop interface has 10 inputs and 14 outputs and fits in a bag.

Simple setup, reference sound

The Symphony Desktop offers the same high-quality audio conversion as the Symphony I/O Mk II, without the need for a rack.

Mix without the mouse

Select your favourite preamp model or shape your sound with the built-in plugins using the Symphony Desktop's touchscreen.

Flexibility and creativity

DualPath Monitoring lets you either record with your plugin effects applied, or monitor them while keeping your raw take. Save and recall your plugin chains to speed up your workflow.

Vintage preamp sounds

Apogee Alloy preamp emulation combines analogue circuitry and DSP processing to create authentic preamp models: British Solid State and American Tube (inspired by a 1950s Ampex 601 preamp).

Symphony ECS Channel Strip

The Symphony ECS channel strip, developed with Bob Clearmountain, combines EQ, compression and saturation. It runs on the interface's DSP for zero-latency recording, and is also supplied as a native plugin for your DAW.
