Symphony I/O Mk II Limited Anniversary Edition

Apogee Electronics and UK distributor Sound Technology have announced the Limited Anniversary Edition Symphony I/O Mk II, commemorating nearly a decade of industry leadership since its debut at the 2016 NAMM Show. Only 100 units will be produced worldwide. Each includes a Limited Apogee History Book celebrating 40 years of innovation. They say that the Anniversary Edition debuts a striking purple finish-an intentional nod to Apogee's heritage of design that dares to stand apart. 

Betty Bennett, CEO, Apogee Electronics told us, "Before founding Apogee, I spent time in studios around the world and quickly realized most gear looked the same-black, silver, and completely uninspired. I wanted Apogee products to make a visual statement as bold as their sonic performance. That's why we introduced purple-a color that broke with convention and demanded attention. It wasn't just about standing out; it was about signaling a new standard. With groundbreaking products like the AD500, UV22, and AD8000, we didn't just change the way gear looked-we elevated the entire digital audio workflow".

Vintage Character, Modern Performance

The Anniversary Edition is the first Symphony I/O Mk II to pair Thunderbolt_ 3 connectivity with Apogee's latest Special Edition (SE) I/O modules, delivering state-of-the-art conversion and ultra-low latency in a modular system trusted by top creators.

Since launch, Symphony I/O Mk II has set the benchmark in major studios, mobile rigs, and creative spaces worldwide. It has powered GRAMMY_- and Oscar_-winning projects and earned the confidence of industry leaders including Bob Clearmountain, Shawn Everett, Greg Wells, Kenny Beats, and many more-thanks to its rare blend of technical precision and musicality.

From the original Symphony I/O (2010) to today's Anniversary Edition, Apogee's engineers have relentlessly advanced conversion, clocking, and analog design, setting new standards for clarity, depth, and feel. Symphony Mk II remains the reference for modern recording.
