The Apogee Symphony Mk II Thunderbolt Pro Tools HD Interfacefrom Apogee Symphony Mk II Thunderbolt Pro Tools HD Interfaceis an advanced, flexible multi-channel audio interface featuring the newest flagship AD/DA conversion, modular I/O (up to 32 inputs and outputs), and an intuitive touchscreen display. The chassis provides two I/O Module slots for a variety of digital audio conversion options that form the interface side of the Symphony I/O Mk II. The front-panel touch screen offers convenient access to nearly every setting including sample rate, clock source, headphone & speaker output levels, meters for all I/O and section navigation, as well as input levels, digital I/O, and configuration settings.

The rear panel provides access to the two I/O Module slots that are capable of a combined thirty-two channels of input and output, while the two Thunderbolt connectors ensure compatibility with newer Mac computers. Also included are Wordclock I/O connectors & termination, an option card slot, and a quiet digitally-controlled fan to keep everything running cool.

The Symphony I/O Mk II features a single ultra-high-fidelity DAC and headphone amplifier  with Apogee's Constant Current Drive technology, which was first introduced in the Apogee Groove. The headphone amplifier dynamically compensates for non-linearities of any connected headphones, providing massive power while maintaining extremely low distortion and linear frequency response.

The optional five I/O Modules allow the user to choose from standard configurations, or customize the following – channel count, analog to digital input, digital to analog output, microphone preamps (requires an analog card), and digital I/O.

Q: 2. Unless my math is terrible, buying this and the cheeseplate separately would be much cheaper than the CP300M2. Any particular reason why choose that over buying this and a cheeseplate separately?

A: You can certainly pair this V-Mount Plate with a 15mm Cheese Plate. Some people prefer the option of an all-in-one solution, but you can most certainly customize this for a rig as you please. B&H # SHCP33 is a great cheese plate from Shape. https://bhpho.to/2Umu5uJ

Q: 6. Does this solve the balancing problem?

A: The Bright Tangerine Canon C70 DJI Dovetail MK II (B&H# BRC70DJDTMK2) is especially lightweight. Its purpose is to make it easier to use the Canon C70 with the DJI RS 2 & RSC 2 gimbals. A scale has been etched on it in order to help you to align the load to a preset balance point. That will help you to return it to a balanced position after having removed a balanced camera from the gimbal previously. When used with the Bright Tangerine Canon C70 DJI Dovetail MK II and the Canon C70 DJI/Zhiyun Riser & LeftField Universal Baseplate, the Canon C70 will be at the correct 15mm LWS height standard.
