Apogee Electronics Symphony Studio 8×8 – 8 Mic/Line In x 8 Out USB-C Audio Interface with DSP & Monitor Calibration

OVERVIEW

The Apogee Electronics Symphony Studio 8×8 brings Apogee’s renowned audio quality and advanced monitoring capabilities to home studio producers, musicians, and project-based engineers. With eight Mic/Line inputs and eight outputs, the USB-C audio interface combines high-quality Apogee PureDIGITAL conversion with transparent microphone preamps offering up to 75dB of gain. Supporting resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz, Symphony Studio 8×8 delivers the detail, clarity, dynamic range, and headroom needed for serious recording, production, and mixing.

Symphony Studio 8×8 goes beyond conventional audio interfaces with comprehensive monitor calibration and output DSP. Room EQ, Speaker Delay, and Bass Management allow you to optimise your monitoring environment, compensate for speaker placement and room acoustics, and achieve accurate low-frequency integration with a subwoofer. Eight customizable Monitor Workflows make it easy to configure and recall different stereo and surround monitoring setups, while support for up to 7.1 surround mixing provides additional flexibility for immersive and multichannel production.

For recording, the Symphony Studio Channel Strip provides input DSP with EQ, compression, and drive processing for near-zero-latency sound shaping. Two independent headphone outputs make the interface practical for collaborative recording sessions, while the optional Apogee Control Remote provides tactile access to monitor levels, presets, and custom workflow functions. With its robust aluminium construction, USB class-compliant operation, and professional feature set, Symphony Studio 8×8 is a versatile centrepiece for modern home and project studios.
