Apogee Electronics Debuts Symphony 64 | ThunderBridge

January 31st, 2013 by David Weiss

Another Thunderbolt is headed our way.

Apogee Electronics has announced the imminent February arrival of Symphony 64 | ThunderBridge, a 64-channel interface for connecting Apogee converters to any Thunderbolt-equipped Mac computer.

The development means that Apogee’s Symphony I/O will be able to work in tandem with the extremely high speed and bandwidth of Intel’s ThunderBolt technology.

High-speed dating: Macs and Apogee Symphony will speed up their relationship with Thunderbridge.

MSRP will be $995.

Here are more details, as supplied by Apogee:

Symphony 64 | ThunderBridge connects Apogee’s flagship audio interface, Symphony I/O, to any Thunderbolt-equipped Mac for true Thunderbolt compatibility and performance. Capable of up to 64 channels of input and output at sample rates up to 192kHz, Symphony 64 | ThunderBridge delivers impressive channel counts at unprecedented speeds for a latency and hassle free recording experience. Symphony 64 | ThunderBridge will also connect Apogee’s X-Symphony equipped AD-16X, DA-16X and Rosetta Series converters to Thunderbolt Macs for legacy compatibility. Existing users of these devices will simply need to update to the most current software/firmware available on Apogee’s website before connecting to ThunderBridge.
