Apogee BOOM USB-C Audio Interface Overview
2x2 USB Type-C Audio Interface with built-in Hardware DSP FX
For almost four decades, Apogee has been perfecting the art of analog recording in a digital world. BOOM continues that legacy by focusing on the details and premium audio components - allowing your projects to stand out from the rest.
2 In - 2 Out BOOM comes with 2 Inputs and 2 outputs. Connect your mic and guitar, or synth to your inputs on the front and your speakers or headphones to your outputs on the back.
Features
- BOOM’s conversion stages employ high-end analog to digital and digital to analog components, not low-end codecs.
- All inputs accept a professional-spec maximum input level of +18dBu, ensuring a pristine audio signal even with the loudest sources.
- Mic preamps offer a class-leading 62 dB of gain, for capturing delicate sources with clarity.
- BOOM’s zero-ohm headphone output provides an audiophile experience, able to drive even high-impedance “hi-fi” headphones with power, clarity and a perfectly balanced frequency response
Touch and Go with iPad BOOM is compatible with any iOS device*, making it an ultra-portable solution for content creation on the go with your iPad Pro. Touch control of the ECS channel strip makes it easy to dial in a great sound.
