Santa Monica, CA — Apogee Electronics announces Symphony Nova, a new desktop audio interface featuring four high-end analog microphone inputs, each with its own real-time DSP path, enabling latency-free processing during tracking. The interface will be shown at the mutual Apogee / Manley booth #14508 at NAMM 2026.
In addition to input processing, Symphony Nova applies real-time DSP speaker correction on all analog outputs and supports importing SoundID files for headphone correction.
Real-Time ARM-Powered DSP on Every Input
Unlike most compact interfaces, Symphony Nova provides simultaneous real-time DSP on all four microphone inputs. This allows multiple sources to be tracked with consistent processing—ideal for drums, small ensembles, multi-speaker podcasts, or live instrument recording.
New 4-Band ECS Channel Strip and Onboard FX
Each input channel includes Apogee’s new and enhanced ECS Channel Strip, running directly on the onboard ARM processor. The channel strip features a new 4-band EQ, high-pass and low-pass filters, compressor, and saturation/drive. Symphony Nova also includes onboard real-time reverb and delay processors.
All DSP processing is latency-free and handled entirely in hardware, enabling confident, zero-latency monitoring.Speaker & Headphone Monitoring Correction
Symphony Nova includes real-time speaker correction on every analog output, allowing users to compensate for room and speaker response directly in the interface rather than in the DAW.
Conversion & Preamps
Symphony Nova uses Apogee’s renowned AD/DA conversion and microphone preamp design, delivering clean gain, low noise, and consistent performance across all inputs.
Guitar, Instrument & Voice Workflows
The interface supports modern guitar workflows, including clean DI capture and a new re-amping section derived from previous Ensemble generations. For voice and podcasting, high-gain preamps combined with onboard processing enable controlled, broadcast-ready tracking without external processors.
Expandability via ADAT
An onboard ADAT expansion allows connection of additional mic preamps and converters for larger recording sessions.
MIDI In/Out
Dedicated MIDI input and output allow direct connection to keyboards, synthesizers, and other MIDI devices.
Pricing & Availability
Symphony Nova will be offered at an MSRP of $1,499 USD and is expected to ship in early Q2 2026. It will be available through all authorized Apogee dealers worldwide. More information: https://apogeedigital.com/.
