Excellent quality recording

Small, transportable and high quality audio interface. I use as a guitarist but it also records vocals exceptionally well. Very low latency, good pre-amps. It also looks stunning

Apogee Symphony Desktop

Das Apogee Symphony Desktop ist ein Super Interface das mit DSP Plugins kommt wie EQ und Compressor zusätzlich gibt es verschiedene Preamp emulationen die Preamps in combo mit SM7B sind super und geben genug Volume das man nicht mal nen Cloudlifter fethead und co braucht bei mir war das noise lvl mit einem fethead sogar mehr also ohne daher habe ich meinen alten fethead verkauft. Das einzige feature was mit fehlt grade bei der Preisklasse sind DSP Plugins für de-esser und Noise Gate was ich sehr schade finde da der rest so gut ist. Auch konnte ich kein loopback feature finden das soll nicht heissen das es keins gibt aber dann habe ich es aber net gesehen. Die 3 features die fehlen sind zwar nicht schön aber man kann damit leben dennoch würde ich mich freuen wenn die ein Noise Gate und De-esser via DSP Plugin hinzufügen würden da selbst Interfaces wie das GOXLR das haben. Ansonsten bin ich aber zufrieden mit dem Gerät grade da es super mit Mac und Windows geht was ich beim Apollo und Windows nicht sagen konnte.

You get what you pay for

It's not cheap but in this case I think you get what you pay for. There are lots of reviews expounding on the great tech specs so I'll just mention a few things that I like. Two independent headphone outs - awesome. The Symphony ECS Channel Strip sounds great. The unit is not too big and I'll be taking it with me for mobile recording. Although subjective, I think it sounds great. To my ear it's cleaner than my Apogee ONE. I would have liked the touch screen to be higher resolution but that's not a huge deal. The only only other -ve is that it's software has not (at the time of my purchase) been fully implemented but it's promised to be soon. I'm happy with the purchase and now I have an interface worthy of my AKG 414XLS.
