Apogee Symphony I/O MkII

soundonsound.com

Apogee's Symphony I/O MKII impresses with its superior sound quality and sleek user experience. The Thunderbolt-only interface offers low-latency performance and a luxurious touchscreen, making it a joy to use. Its modular design is flexible, allowing I/O card recycling from previous models. However, the lack of a Thunderbolt cable and limited expansion options might deter some users. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a top choice for Mac users seeking high-end audio performance and integration with Pro Tools HDX. If you can afford it and need what it offers, the Symphony I/O MKII is hard to fault.
