Apogee Symphony I/O, The Highest End 
Symphony I/O builds upon the award-winning design approaches of Apogee’s
 X-Series* and Rosetta Series converters*, the Big Ben master clock and 
the Trak2 mic preamps. It also refines and updates these proven designs 
with fewer but more advanced components while optimizing their 
performance with efficient power distribution. These enhancements allow 
audio to travel through less circuitry, offering lower converter 
latency, more accurate clocking and even more transparency and clarity 
in your recordings. 
 
*As of July 2010, Symphony I/O will replace AD-16X, DA-16X and Rosetta 800 
 
Apogee Symphony I/O Overview 
<ul><li>Best sounding Apogee interface ever with updated and optimized circuitry</li><li>Audio Interface Mode (AIM): Easily configure Symphony I/O for these modes: </li><ul><li>Symphony (connect to Symphony PCIe card or Symphony Mobile 
Express/34 card for ultra low latency use with Logic or any Core Audio 
application)</li><li>Pro Tools HD (connect directly to Pro Tools PCIe card)</li><li>USB (connect to high-speed USB 2.0 port)</li><li>StandAlone (I/O inputs routed directly to I/O outputs)</li></ul><li>Total I/O flexibility and scalability with 5 available Modules 
including an 8 Analog I/O with Optical and 8 channel Mic preamp module</li><li>Up to 32 channels of simultaneous analog and digital I/O per unit</li><li>Future-proof modular architecture</li><li>PCI, USB and Ethernet connectivity for emerging formats</li><li>Best cost per channel value of any high-end audio interface available</li></ul>Analog design, the cornerstone of Apogee quality 
Apogee's engineers do not merely rely on specs and data sheets when 
selecting converter components, they listen. Each component is 
auditioned and carefully selected to best reflect the characteristics of
 the Apogee sound. Symphony I/O’s audio path design is elegant and 
efficient, incorporating the most advanced opamps that offer better 
performance than multiple parts used in previous designs. 
 
This design improvement minimizes the audio path circuitry and maximizes
 sound quality. And in the tradition of the X-Series and Rosetta series,
 the entire audio path is DC coupled, resulting in ultra flat frequency 
response and extremely low phase error. 
 
Total Flexibility: Symphony I/O is built to grow with your studio 
Symphony I/O is an audio hardware platform, designed to deliver the most
 advanced recording technology available and the flexibility, 
scalability, and longevity required to power the modern studio. Modular 
I/O design, total software control, and direct connection to all popular
 DAWs make Symphony I/O a long-term sound investment. 
 
What makes Symphony I/O a great choice for your studio now and for years to come: 
<ul><li>Flexible design architecture with a base unit and two I/O module slots</li><li>Up to 32 channels of I/O per unit</li><li>Future proof connectivity with PCI, USB, Ethernet and all popular digital formats</li><li>Compatibility with Logic, Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools LE and any Core Audio driven application</li><li>Total software control of Symphony I/O with Maestro</li></ul>
AIM for Complete Compatibility 
With a simple adjustment using the front panel encoder knobs, AIM 
transforms Symphony I/O into an interface optimized for the mode that’s 
been selected. 
 
Modes 
<ul><li>Symphony PCI</li><li>Pro Tools HD PCI</li><li>USB Audio</li><li>StandAlone</li></ul>
Symphony I/O’s Audio Interface Modes (AIM) 
With a 2 step adjustment using a single front panel encoder knob, AIM 
transforms Symphony I/O into an interface optimized for the most popular
 audio workstation environments. This feature allows users of Logic and 
Pro Tools HD for example, to easily switch back and forth between the 
two DAWs with the click of a knob and swap of a cable. If USB is your 
preferred mode, connecting to Core Audio compatible apps like Digital 
Performer and Cubase is just as easy. And StandAlone mode calibrates 
Symphony I/O for simple and direct routing ideal for a variety of uses 
and applications including Pro Tools LE or Pro Tools M-Powered. 
 
Simply Switch 
Move between Symphony/Logic and Pro Tools HD on one workstation with ease and without compromise 
 
Step up to a world that embraces Logic, Mac Based workstations and Pro 
Tools HD. Whatever platform you choose to work with the audio quality 
will Sound Amazing. 
 
The Symphony I/O PC-32 connector connects directly to a Symphony 64 card
 or a Pro Tools HD card. When using Logic Audio Mac Based System, 
latency is below 1.6ms.

The Burl B80 Mothership is a 
multi-channel version of Burl Audio’s critically acclaimed B2 Bomber ADC
 and DAC. Pushing the boundaries once again, the Burl Audio B80 
Mothership AD/DA converter has up to 80 channel capability. Using a card
 based system, and a heavy duty 4U chassis, the B80 Mothership employs 
10 card slots with 2, 4 and 8 channel AD/DA cards, all with the B2 
quality signal path. Every ADC channel has a BX1 transformer and every 
DAC channel has the latest Burl Audio discrete op-amp, BOPA2, 
technology. For many who have already embraced the B2 Bomber, this is a 
dream come true. Recording an entire band and playing back through 24 
channels Burl at a time, is a truly beautiful experience. 
 
With a completely configurable AD/DA, a converter for any situation can 
be realized. If you just mix, load up the B80 with 8 BDA8 cards for 64 
channels of mind blowing fidelity. If you track live, 6 BAD4 cards will 
give you 24 B2 quality inputs, and 4 BDA8 cards gives you 32 channels of
 outputs. Rocking. 
 
Digital interconnect is also completely configurable, and controlled by a
 swappable motherboard. The first offering of the B80 digital 
motherboard, the BMB1, comes standard with two Digi-link connectors for
 direct hookup to Pro Tools. Burl Audio does away with the expansion 
port, making both primary ports. That means you can play 64 DAC channels
 straight out of Pro Tools with one unit! No more cascading units with 
multiple word clocks. All channels can run off of one internal master 
clock. Good bye word clock generator! Of course if you do need more 
channels, multiple units run flawlessly with tight clocking. 
 
The technology that makes this possible is the Burl BackBone. The Burl 
BackBone is a high bandwidth backplane delivering incredible digital 
audio throughput. The Burl BackBone also delivers large amounts of power
 to the analog sections. Master clock travels directly to each converter
 eliminating the need for individual PLLs. 
 
Digital ad on cards to follow will be the BMADI and BAES. Because each 
card slot can handle a single MADI card, an entire MADI switch matrix 
can be realized in one unit. Other future digital cards will include 
word clock distribution and time code sync for film and video. 
 
The B80 Mothership is the result of over five years of tireless research
 and development. The no compromise, no BS design strategy is 
immediately apparent in the build quality. The 4U, steal enclosure is 
truly impressive. No plastic, no layers of menus, everything is meant to
 be used easily with zero hassle. Configuring a B80 is literally a snap.
 All you do is slide the card down its card guide, snap it in the Burl 
BackBone, turn the hand screws, and you’re there. 
 
Configuration cards currently consist of the BMB1 with Digi-link, the 
BAD4, 4-channel ADC card, and the BDA8, 8 channel DAC card. Cards to 
follow are the BMADI card and the BAES card. (available 2011) There are 
also plans for film and broadcast grade “Black Face” cards where channel
 density and price per channel are of greater concern. 
 
Powering a unit like the B80 Mothership takes some juice, so we designed
 the BP250 to drive the 80 channels of class-A analog circuitry. With a 
250 watt continuous power capability, and +/- 24 volt rails, a 
multi-channel AD/DA converter is finally getting the power it deserves. 
 
For complete control of all of the B80 signal routing, and stand alone 
metering, a USB port has been included. This is not an audio interface, 
it is strictly for control. A future touch screen control will plug in 
here. The flexibility of the B80 design allows for a smooth integration 
and upgrade path. 
 
Burl Audio’s intention with the B80 is to create one main chassis that 
takes care of virtually any music, broadcast or film recording 
situation, revolutionizing pro audio as we know it. In this digital era,
 many yearn for the tone of records past, and analog tape is becoming a 
lost art. The B80 Mothership clearly bridges this analog to digital gap.
