Overview

Introduction

Apogee’s Element 24, 46 and 88 are Thunderbolt audio I/O boxes for Mac. The Element Series takes the best

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

Legendary Apogee A/D & D/A Conversion

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.
