Symphony I/O
The I/O You Need, Any Way You Want It
For more than two decades, Apogee has developed some of the finest pro audio technology, including the famous X-Series and Rosetta
Series converters, the Big Ben master clock, the Trak2 mic preamps, and the Symphony PCI protocol. Now they put all that experience into
one amazing interface: the Symphony I/O. What’s great about the Symphony I/O is that you get to choose the I/O, so you can get up to
32 channels of jaw-dropping AD/DA conversion (featuring enhanced C777 clocking for completely reliable jitter-free performance) in the
configuration you need. Here’s how it works. The Symphony I/O comes as a single base unit. This unit features built-in Ethernet and USB
output for native operation, as well as Symphony/Pro Tools|HD PC-32 I/O. A pair of module bays lets you add the I/O you need. There are four basic modules, each with a different
assortment of analog and digital I/O. Two of these modules give you eight channels of analog I/O and up to eight channels of either optical or AES/EBU digital I/O. The other two
basic modules provide either 16 channels of analog input and 16 channels of optical output or the reverse. With these four modules, you have dozens of configuration options. The

fifth module lets you equip eight of these analog inputs with Apogee’s ultra-transparent microphone preamps, plus

ABOUT
BOUT THIS CHART
Simultaneous I/O
When you’re selecting an
interface, it’s important to
consider the amount of inputs
and outputs it can handle. How
many instruments and sources
do you need to route at once?
Max Resolution
This refers to the highest bit
depth and sample rate an audio
interface is capable of handling.
You might think of this as you’d
think of a digital camera’s
maximum picture resolution.
Analog I/O
It’s essential to consider an
interface’s input and output
specifications. For example, how
320-321_308-309_Interface Chart.indd 320
many microphones will you need
to use at once? Do you need to
send output to multiple studio
monitors or headphone feeds?
Digital I/O
Having digital input and output
capabilities can be helpful, and
it’s an easy way to maximize
your I/O options. An ADAT port,
for example, can carry eight
channels of digital audio into (or
out of) an audio interface.
MIDI I/O
If an interface has MIDI ports,
it can eliminate the need for an
extra MIDI interface or free up a
USB port for another essential
piece of studio equipment.
Word Clock
Form Factor
This connector is used to
synchronize your digital gear.
If you’re planning to use other
digital equipment and possibly
add a synchronizer down the
line, you’ll definitely want to have
word clock I/O available.
While we’ve separated interfaces
into “like” categories — FireWire,
USB, and Card — the specific
speed and type of connection
can vary.
DSP and/or Effects
Some audio interfaces feature
onboard chips that can help take
over certain processor-intensive
tasks and free up your computer
for other important needs. Many
interfaces have DSP-powered
mixing capabilities and some
even have built-in effects you
can track with, including reverb,
compression, and EQ.
Bus Powered
These interfaces use a port on
your computer to give them
power. If an interface isn’t bus
powered, it requires an external
power cable to operate.
Special Features
Under this column, we’ve noted
features that you may find
important, but didn’t quite fit
into the most common types of
interface features.

Mbox Pro
Incredible High-powered Desktop
Production Interface
The Mbox Pro takes the Mbox line to a level
of professional music production power never
before seen! Avid pooled their top engineers
to completely redesign the Mbox Pro from the
ground up. The result is simply astounding!
Fully equipped with top-shelf converters and four
incredibly lucid preamps, the Mbox Pro sounds
Back Panel
like no other audio interface on the market, and
it sports incredible functions not found on other interfaces in its class. Loaded on each of the Mbox
Pro’s excellent-sounding preamps are the same Softclip limiters found on Avid’s flagship HD series
interfaces. Each preamp also has its own dedicated insert point, so integrating your favorite outboard
gear couldn’t be easier. On top of that, the Mbox Pro has enough analog outputs to accommodate
several mixes or to even support full 5.1 surround mixing. And that’s not all. The Mbox Pro has an
onboard guitar tuner and a dedicated DSP engine for cue mixing with reverb. Now you can stay
in tune without having to grab a tuner or fire up a plug-in. You can also add ambience, such as
room reverb or a touch of slap delay to vocals as you record, and you’ll never have to worry about
latency or dealing with outboard gear. An assignable multifunction button gives you fast access to
software functions inside of Pro Tools software (sold separately). Need to jump to a different DAW? No
problem! New ASIO, Core Audio, WDM, MME, and multiclient drivers allow the Mbox Pro to integrate
easily with Pro Tools LE, Logic, Live, Cubase, and most other DAWs. If you’re thinking about getting
the Mbox Pro, don’t miss the Pro Tools + Mbox Pro bundle offer. With it, you get the premium
Mbox Pro interface plus the latest version of Pro Tools, Pro Tools 9, for $280 off of purchasing them
separately! It’s the best way to put a complete Pro Tools system to work in your studio, while saving
money at the same time. You can find out more about Pro Tools 9 (and upgrades to it, if you already
own a previous version of Pro Tools) on page 342.

Tools with it, which saves you hundreds of dollars off
of the regular purchase price of Pro Tools. Flip to page

Serious Interfaces for the Serious Pro Tools Studio
Avid’s 003 interfaces are the best Pro Tools LE interfaces on the globe. You’ve got blazing-fast
FireWire connections across the board as well as your choice of a desktop control surface beauty
or a rackmountable beast. Let’s start with the desktop 003 Factory. It gives you the hands-on
control you crave, while also loading you up with four preamps for recording into Pro Tools. It’s
the LE studio’s all-in-one dream come true, and it comes with a wicked-cool bundle of “Factory”
plug-ins. Looking for rackmountable brawn? The 003 Rack+ Factory is your ticket. It’s the
beefiest 003 on the I/O front, packing a full eight preamps into a 2U unit. This is the one to get if
you’re planning to track an entire band, right out of the box. And it’s also got those extra plug-ins,
so you’ve got serious sound-sculpting power. The 003 Rack Factory rackmount interface sports
the same I/O configuration as the desktop 003, only in a 2U form factor that’s great for mobile
work. You really can’t beat the value that’s packed into the 003 Rack Complete package,
which includes all of the Factory Bundle’s great content as well as Avid’s Complete Production
Toolkit, expanding Pro Tools LE’s capabilities to include up to 7.1 surround mixing and full
SMPTE integration. All 003 interfaces include Pro Tools LE software (version 8). Owners can also
crossgrade to Pro Tools 9 for a special price. See page 342.

still add awesome reverb, EQ, and compression to your extrra eight channels!

“New and improved” barely scratches the surface of the all-new
Mbox. The key here is “all-new,” as in all-new preamps, all-new
converters, and all-new drivers, all put together in an interface that
is simple and amazingly functional. Avid’s top engineers equipped the Mbox with a pair of ultra-transparent custom
mic preamps and a set of phenomenal 24-bit/96kHz converters, giving it absolutely astounding sound quality. The
Mbox even includes a pair of Softclip limiters, the same tape-saturation-style dynamics processors found on Avid’s
flagship Pro Tools|HD interfaces! The Mbox also comes equipped with a built-in guitar tuner and a dedicated DSP
engine for cue mixing with reverb. Now you can add reverb or delay to vocals as you record, without worrying
about latency or having to manage cumbersome outboard gear. There’s also a super-useful assignable Pro Tools
multifunction button (software sold separately) right on the face of the Mbox, though this interface will work with
any DAW software you choose. If you do want to tap into the world-renowned power of Pro Tools, be sure to choose
the Pro Tools + Mbox bundle. This special offer gets you the Mbox plus the latest version of Pro Tools, Pro Tools

acceleration that lets you run over 600 processors and VST instruments with no PC processor overhead. Coupled with
PatchMix DSP for zero-latency monitoring and the impressive included software bundle, both of these interfaces make
superb center points for any PC-based studio.

Artist Control
Put deep, intuitive DAW control at your fingertips! You need a control
surface that works with your desktop layout, not a clunky box that
causes more clutter. Avid has the perfect tools for you! The Avid Artist
Series controllers (formerly the Euphonix MC Series) feature EUCON,
a high-speed open control protocol that has been adopted by many
of the world’s leading software developers. Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase,
Digital Performer, Final Cut Pro and many other applications support
the EUCON protocol, giving you highly responsive control over almost
all software functions. You’ll love the hands-on control the Artist
Controll (formerly MC Control) gives you: four touch-sensitive
faders, an array of assignable controls, and a high-resolution
touchscreen interface that gives you easy access to a ton of functions,
including surround panning! Want more faders? Artist Mix
(formerly MC Mix) can be used by itself or together with other Artist
Series controllers to give you eight high-quality faders and encoders!
Artist Transport (formerly MC Transport) puts a professional
weighted jog/shuttle wheel and an array of buttons right at your
fingertips. Finally, if you use color-grading applications, such as Apple
Color,
l Autodesk
d k Smoke
k ffor Mac, or REDCINE-X, you’llll absolutely
b l l want
the purpose-built Artist Color (formerly MC Color).
