Re: Apogee Symphony Mk 1 Dolby Atmos Monitoring
You do not even need the control hardware, the included control software is where you set it up anyway and it works great. Properly integrated with macOS volume controls so likely Mac keyboard is all control hardware you will ever need.
Yes, one thunderbolt cable gives you 32in 32out with two 16x16 cards (one card is enough for Atmos monitoring, but it needs to be installed on lower slot). The box has TB2 connectors but as it is backwards compatible, an adapter to TB3 works just fine. (I have been enjoying Apogee Symphony mkII with my Genelecs since 2017)

Re: Apogee Symphony Mk 1 Dolby Atmos Monitoring
Why not google for "apogee symphony mkii atmos monitoring" and find out the magic happens within the box itself, and you set it up with the control software...
You need to have 16x16 card installed on slot one (lower) and update firmware with version 3.8.2 software. That's it.

I know that Gearspace had a converter shootout that I should go and listen too at some point. I like the modularity of the MTRX but it's out of my budget entirely... the upgradability is really nice though. I think that the comments here are right that I'd be better off going to a Mk2 or a different interface rather than sticking with the Mk1. How do other professionals normally try out gear? Do they just jump in and buy it, then sell if if they don't like it, or are there ways of borrowing demo models of multiple products to test them in your space? Same question stands for monitors... I always hear about people demoing monitors in their spaces but was never sure how to try and do that. |

Re: Apogee Symphony Mk 1 Dolby Atmos Monitoring
I LOVE the headphone amp on my Apogee, but the converters are only slightly better? than the ECHO 12 box I used for many years. i read they were the same chips so who know.....I begged them to make a TB 12 output box w a volume control, but they dont make audio stuff anymore.....

Re: Apogee Symphony Mk 1 Dolby Atmos Monitoring
In here using Apogee Symphony mkII and the headphone amp + Sennheiser HD650 headphones translate very well to my Genelec speakers (7060 + 5x8040).
