Apogee Symphony 64 is a 64 channel, 24bit/192kHz PCI Express
card made to interface Apogee’s X-Series and Rosetta Series converters
directly to Apple’s Mac Pro creating The Symphony System.
The Symphony System excels on several levels; the award-winning sound
quality of Apogee’s AD&DA Converters, the groundbreaking power of
Apple’s Mac Pro, and the stability and ultra low latency performance of
the Symphony 64 card. This combination provides a flexible, stable,
high-end solution for customers seeking a workstation compatible with
any Core Audio application.
Symphony 64 features Extended Audio Routing with VBus and SBus
technology. VBus allows users to route demanding, stand-alone software
instruments, directly between Core Audio based applications, instead of
running them as plug-ins. Symphony’s SBus doubles the DSP power of The
Symphony System by facilitating the communication of digital audio
between Symphony equipped Macs with a single cable. Now it is possible
to route audio to a second computer and back again for plug-in
processing, sample libraries, soft-synth players, and session transfers
from one Core Audio application to another.
