Designed specifically for producers, recording engineers, mixing and mastering engineers whose critical work demands ultimate sonic performance, 8×8 SoundGrid takes advantage of the latest advancements in digital and analog audio technology to offer inputs with 124 dB of dynamic range, THD+N of -116dB and outputs with 131dB dynamic range and an astonishingly low THD+N of -118dB.

Collaboration is easy with a SoundGrid equipped Symphony I/O Mk II at the center of your studio. Simply connect any additional computers via ethernet cable to effortlessly route audio digitally between multiple computers and your main Symphony I/O, using any combination of DAWs.
