Apogee unveils Limited Anniversary Edition of Symphony I/O Mk II


Apogee Electronics and UK distributor Sound Technology are pleased to announce the Limited Anniversary Edition Symphony I/O Mk II, commemorating nearly a decade of industry leadership since its debut at the 2016 NAMM Show. Only 100 units will be produced worldwide. Each includes a Limited Apogee History Book celebrating 40 years of innovation. The Anniversary Edition debuts a striking purple finish—an intentional nod to Apogee’s heritage of design that dares to stand apart.

Betty Bennett, CEO, Apogee Electronics “Before founding Apogee, I spent time in studios around the world and quickly realized most gear looked the same—black, silver, and completely uninspired. I wanted Apogee products to make a visual statement as bold as their sonic performance. That’s why we introduced purple—a color that broke with convention and demanded attention. It wasn’t just about standing out; it was about signaling a new standard. With groundbreaking products like the AD500, UV22, and AD8000, we didn’t just change the way gear looked—we elevated the entire digital audio workflow”.

The Anniversary Edition is the first Symphony I/O Mk II to pair Thunderbolt™ 3 connectivity with Apogee’s latest Special Edition (SE) I/O modules, delivering state‑of‑the‑art conversion and ultra‑low latency in a modular system trusted by top creators.

Since launch, Symphony I/O Mk II has set the benchmark in major studios, mobile rigs, and creative spaces worldwide. It has powered GRAMMY®‑ and Oscar®‑winning projects and earned the confidence of industry leaders including Bob Clearmountain, Shawn Everett, Greg Wells, Kenny Beats, and many more—thanks to its rare blend of technical precision and musicality.

From the original Symphony I/O (2010) to today’s Anniversary Edition, Apogee’s engineers have relentlessly advanced conversion, clocking, and analog design, setting new standards for clarity, depth, and feel. Symphony Mk II remains the reference for modern recording.
