Apogee Symphony Studio 2x12

Full Description

Tailored for immersive and surround sound environments

The Symphony Studio 2x12 offers multiple audio configurations to suit various immersive sound needs. For those seeking the pinnacle of 3D audio, its 7.1.4 surround sound setup incorporates seven strategically placed speakers along the front, sides, and rear walls, complemented by four overhead speakers, creating an enveloping sound field ideal for formats like Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D.

Alternatively, the 7.1 surround sound configuration offers a rich, multidimensional experience with seven speakers positioned around the listener, enhancing depth and directionality compared to the more common 5.1 setup. Both options provide flexibility for handling intricate and high-quality audio projects.

Ultra-clean microphone preamps

Symphony Studio’s preamps offer 75dB of gain, providing an ultra-clean signal path for capturing the finest details in your recordings. Even at high gain levels, these preamps deliver exceptional clarity and low noise, preserving the natural sound of your instruments and vocals. This makes them ideal for capturing delicate performances, from soft vocals to subtle acoustic instruments.

The transparent sound and wide dynamic range ensure that your recordings remain true to the source, with all the nuances and dynamics intact. Symphony Studio’s preamps give you the flexibility to record everything from soft whispers to loud instruments, all while maintaining the highest audio quality.

Tailored monitor workflows

Symphony Studio’s customisable monitor workflows let you create and save multiple speaker setups for different audio formats. With the ability to switch between stereo, surround, and immersive configurations at the touch of a button, you can maintain optimal listening conditions for every project. Each workflow allows you to adjust EQ, bass management, and speaker trim settings, ensuring that your audio setup is perfectly aligned with the specific requirements of your work.

Seamless bass management

Symphony Studio’s advanced bass management system provides complete control over your low-end sound. Fine-tune the crossover frequencies, slopes, and subwoofer placement for perfect integration with your main speakers. This ensures a balanced and immersive listening experience, where the low frequencies blend naturally into the overall soundscape.

By preventing muddiness in the bass and ensuring clarity, this system is essential for achieving professional-quality mixes. Whether you’re working on bass-heavy music or sound design, Symphony Studio's bass management ensures your low-end is tight, controlled, and translates well across all playback systems.

Precision room EQ

With Symphony Studio's 16-band room EQ per speaker, you can easily target and fix frequency imbalances caused by room acoustics. This helps you create an optimal listening environment, even in untreated or acoustically challenging spaces. By precisely adjusting the frequency response of each speaker, Symphony Studio ensures that your mixes sound clear, balanced, and accurate.
