Technical Specifications

Intel® CoreT 2 Quad and Extreme processors

Extreme Power.

Synergy only utilise the latest Intel® i7 Quad and Core 2 Quad processors, therefore users can unlock the true power of their systems: a no compromise machine to allow work at the highest of speeds.

Seagate Barracuda hard drives

Huge Storage.

Using specially enclosed Seagate Barracuda audio drives, Synergy offer reliability and speed without the disruption of hard drive noise. At a maximum of 7.5TB, there's ample capacity for users to store all their audio files and samples.

Noctua cooling fan

Extreme Cooling.

Such extreme power ultimately demands extreme cooling! Noctua provide efficient, low noise coolers, which allow operation in the most confined of workspaces, without the worry of unwanted noise.
