Overview
Introduction

of cutting-edge Apogee gear like Symphony I/O Mk II, Ensemble Thunderbolt and Groove and puts it into
simple form factors. With streamlined hardware features and advanced software control, the Element series
delivers ultimate recording quality and performance at unprecedented prices.
Features
Flagship Apogee Audio Quality

Advanced Stepped Gain mic preamps
FET-based Front Panel Guitar Input
Zero-ohm
With Symphony Desktop, Apogee introduces a brand new headphone output technology - Zero Ohm xx
With the incredibly wide variety of headphones and earbuds available today, it’s quite a challenge to design a
headphone output that drives every model to its full potential while maintaining low distortion and an even
frequency response.
Apogee’s Zero-Ohm headphone driver and dual headphone outputs offer the ideal solution:
● Ultra-low output impedance ensures proper damping for any headphone or earbud, for the lowest
distortion and a flat frequency response.
● Front panel ¼” connector offers maximum power to drive the most demanding high impedance
headphones, louder than you should ever need. When connecting lower impedance headphones and
earbuds, take caution not to over drive the output level.
● Rear panel ⅛” connector offers a power range adapted to lower impedance headphones and earbuds,
for lower noise. When connecting higher impedance headphones (>100 ohm), the maximum output
level will be less than when connecting to the front panel.
