Technical Specifications

Intel® CoreT 2 Quad and Extreme processors

Extreme Power.

Synergy only utilise the latest Intel® i7, i5 and i3 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 special noise reduction enclosures with 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

Quiet 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. (AW100 and Portman Laptops use stock coolers with speed management to provide the best cooling-to-quietness ratio)

Samsung RAM

Fast and Reliable Memory.

Synergy machines only use high quality Samsung RAM giving faster load times, lower latency and power in reserve to run multiple software instruments, samplers and plug-ins within your DAW.
