Symphony I/O Panel Tour

Front Panel

1. Power button - When the rear panel AC Input is connected to an AC wall socket, the power switch and the
Apogee icon will glow softly, indicating that Symphony I/O is in Standby. Press the power button for a half
second to power up Symphony I/O. Symphony I/O may be configured to power on as soon as an AC voltage
is present on the rear panel AC Input. You may find this preferable when using an external power switch (such
as an equipment rack power strip) to power on the unit. See AutoPower for details.

or digital inputs or outputs.
3. Meter source LEDs - These LED pointers indicate the signal source of each meter bank. For each bank, the
format (Analog or Digital) and type (Input or Output) are indicated with a small triangle. For example, when
Bank 1 is configured to display analog inputs and Bank 2 is configured to display analog outputs, the meter
source LEDs appear as shown below.

clock source. For the details of how to set the clock source, see Setting the Clock Source.
5. Sample Rate Display - These 7-segment LEDs display Symphony I/Oʼs sample rate. For the details of how to
set the the sample rate, see Setting the Sample Rate.
6. Front panel encoders - The front panel encoders may be used to make a variety of settings, from listening
levels to sample rate, clock source and Audio Interface Mode. The various encoder functions are described in
the chapters Configuring your Symphony I/O System and Working with your Symphony I/O System.
7. Front panel OLED Display - The front panel OLED Display provides user feedback on input and output levels,
system status and other Symphony I/O parameters.
