Analog I/O.
Symphony I/O Mk II is a multi-channel audio interface featuring Apogee’s flagship AD/DA
conversion, modular, configurable I/O (up to 32 inputs and outputs), intuitive touchscreen
display and optional world-class microphone preamps. Designed to deliver professional sound
quality for audio recording, mixing and mastering, Symphony I/O Mk II is the ultimate music
production centerpiece for any modern studio.
And now, with the Symphony I/O Mk II Dante
option card and a simple ethernet cable, Symphony I/O Mk II can be easily connected and
shared across post production, broadcast, live sound or recording studio networks, unleashing
legendary sound quality on the world’s most popular audio-over-IP solution. The Symphony I/O
Mk II Dante option card also includes Pro Tools HD connectivity for integration of Pro Tools HD
systems into a Dante network environment. No other Dante-enabled audio interface offers this
level of quality, flexibility and modularity.
Modular and Configurable
The Symphony I/O Mk II Dante option card uses Audinate’s Brooklyn II module which features
plug-and-play media networking for up to 32 bidirectional channels at 96kHz and 16
bidirectional channels up to 192k. The system can be configured with a number of custom
options ranging from 8-32 analog I/O channels. Symphony I/O MK II Dante allows up to 32
channels with ProTools and redundant Dante connectivity to be fitted into a single two space
rack device providing the smallest footprint available with this feature set.

and more. Drag and drop setup and color coding let you create custom view that let you see up
to 6 devices in a single window. Apogee Network Control works on macOS and Windows 10
computers and is compatible with the Apogee Control hardware remote.
About Dante
Developed by Audinate, Dante enables digital audio distribution over standard Ethernet
networks. Dante allows audio, control, and all other data to coexist on the same network in an
ultra-low latency environment and with near-perfect synchronization. The Dante Controller
software and network management features make even the most complex network
configuration quick and easy.
