The Apogee Control is a dedicated desktop hardware remote designed to speed up everyday monitoring and input management for Apogee interface users. It works with Symphony I/O Mk II, Element 24/46/88 and Ensemble Thunderbolt systems, giving you tactile control over the most important interface functions without relying on the mouse or software window.
At the center is Apogee’s Symphony-inspired large control knob, supported by three focus buttons that switch the knob between input, headphone and speaker control. This makes it quick to adjust gain, headphone levels or monitor volume directly from the desk. The remote also includes 8 user-assignable buttons that can be configured for functions such as mute, dim, sum to mono, speaker set selection, talkback, reference level and input controls like 48V, soft limit, polarity and grouping.
The unit connects directly to your Mac via USB cable and integrates with Apogee Control, Element Control and Apogee Symphony Control software. It is sold separately and is meant to complement a compatible interface, not replace it.
For studios that want faster workflow, more direct monitoring control and a cleaner desk setup, Apogee Control is a practical and professional remote solution.
