„I cannot tell you how many hours I’ve spent trying to troubleshoot my previous setup, unable to consistently record for months, chasing random problems. This entire new Symphony I/O system, superior sound and inaudible latency blew my mind after building the first session. The transparency and imaging while both monitoring record enabled tracks and playback was brand new to me, almost like I had upgraded my monitors. Clearly these converters are magic, especially for capturing my drums!“

“The gorgeous sounding converters are what originally drew me to Apogee years ago and I’ve been using their hardware ever since. I love the new Ensemble… It has the lowest latency and is actually easier on your computer’s CPU than other interfaces out there. It has super versatile I/O options and seamless software integration. Less hassle. More time for creativity. I sound like a commercial, but I mean it!! I use the Ensemble at my studio and the Duet when I’m on the road.”
