About Apogee Electronics

The standard every other converter is measured against.

Betty Bennett founded Apogee Electronics in 1985 with a single mission: create the world’s most transparent digital-to-analogue conversion. The result was the original Apogee filter — a breakthrough that eliminated the harsh digital sound of early CD recordings and was immediately adopted by mastering facilities and major labels worldwide.

Today Apogee’s product range spans the professional Symphony I/O Mk II interface — the mastering-grade centerpiece of high-end studios globally — through to the Duet 3 and Quartet desktop interfaces, the Symphony Studio immersive line, and the iOS recording line: Duet for iPad, One 4th Generation, JAM+ and HypeMiC. The conversion quality that built Apogee’s reputation is in every product, at every price point.

Available through MediaCast — authorised distributor, stocked in Dubai, with demonstrations available at MCX — MediaCast Experience Center in Barsha Heights.

Technology

What makes Apogee different.

The technologies that define Apogee’s forty-year pursuit of perfect conversion — and why mastering engineers and major studios choose Apogee over every other option.

AD/DA Conversion

The reference standard since 1985

Apogee’s proprietary converter designs are used as the reference standard by Grammy-winning mastering engineers. When the best engineers in the world need to know exactly what a recording sounds like, they play it through Apogee — because Apogee adds nothing and removes nothing from the signal.

Mac & iOS Native

The deepest integration in the industry

Apogee co-developed the Core Audio framework with Apple. Every Apogee interface is driver-free on Mac and works natively with Logic Pro, GarageBand and all Core Audio-compatible DAWs. On iPad Pro and iPhone, Apogee interfaces work through Lightning or USB-C without adapters, certified by Apple.

Thunderbolt

Ultra-low latency at any sample rate

Apogee Thunderbolt interfaces achieve near-zero latency at 96kHz — enabling real-time monitoring through plug-in chains without perceptible delay. The Symphony I/O Mk II can sustain 30 or more simultaneous channels over a single Thunderbolt cable with no dropout at any sample rate up to 192kHz.

Apogee Control 2

Hardware control. Software depth.

The Apogee Control 2 hardware controller connects to any Apogee interface and gives physical control over monitor volume, sample rate, headphone levels and routing. Combined with the Apogee Control software, it delivers total hardware-grade control from a single tactile knob and display.

Soft Limit

Never clip. Never compromise.

Apogee’s proprietary Soft Limit circuit applies gentle analogue limiting before the AD stage — preventing digital clipping on unexpected transients without audible compression artefacts. The result is a recording that can be pushed hotter without the hard digital ceiling that clips other interfaces. A signature Apogee technology present in every product.

Build Quality

Aircraft-grade aluminium. Built to last.

Every Apogee interface is machined from solid aluminium — the same material standard as professional monitoring hardware and high-end studio equipment. The Duet 3 and Quartet have remained unchanged in form factor because their construction is essentially indestructible under normal studio use. Studios running original Apogee Rosetta units from 2002 are still in operation today.

Who Uses Apogee

The conversion choice across every professional discipline.

From mastering suites to film scoring stages, from home studios to broadcast facilities — Apogee’s conversion is trusted wherever accuracy cannot be compromised.

Mastering Studios

Symphony I/O Mk II is the reference converter for Grammy-winning mastering engineers worldwide. Transparent, phase-accurate, the standard against which all other converters are measured.

Film Scoring

Symphony Desktop and Symphony I/O Mk II are used by major film composers globally. Real-time plugin processing, low-latency monitoring, and mastering-grade conversion for orchestral sessions.

Podcast & Broadcast

HypeMiC with built-in compressor, MiC+ and First Take deliver broadcast-quality voice recording without external gear. Professional audio in the most compact form.

Guitar & Instruments

JAM X with built-in compression and JAM+ are the professional DI choice for guitarists and bassists recording directly to their DAW. Transparent conversion that preserves instrument dynamics.

Music Production

Duet 3 and Boom bring professional Apogee conversion to the desktop and on the road. The interface of choice for producers and musicians who value conversion quality over channel count.

Education

Music technology and audio engineering schools choose Apogee because students learn on professional interfaces they’ll use after graduation. Duet 3, JAM and mics across the curriculum.
