The Apogee Boom is a compact audio interface with built-in high-quality digital signal processors (DSP). It features a rugged steel shell to protect the inner circuitry and rubber pads on the bottom to hold it in place. On the front, it has a 1/4 inch jack and an XLR input, while on the back, there are left and right balanced outputs and a headphone output. It is also bus-powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply. The hardware DSPs effectively map your analog sound and replicate it clearly to your speakers or software while retaining the analog warmth.
The Apogee Boom comes with the onboard Symphony ECS Channel Strip plugin, which allows you to EQ, compress, and saturate your audio. It also includes Ableton Live Lite, Apogee Controller 2, and the Apogee Soft Limiter Plug-in. This audio interface is ideal for musicians and digital creators looking for an affordable, compact, and portable solution for recording.
The compact BOOM 2×2 USB Audio Interface condenses Apogee’s sophisticated hardware and software into a portable and easy-to-use device. Designed in California, this interface combines high-tech features with convenience. Whether you’re recording vocals over an acoustic guitar, mixing tracks in your DAW, streaming video games, or recording commentary on a documentary, the Apogee Boom delivers impressive performance. It provides analog-to-digital conversion expected from top-of-the-range Apogee devices, no matter where you are.
The Apogee Boom features two inputs: one XLR and one 1/4 inch jack. Both inputs can be used simultaneously, such as using an instrument and a microphone. On the back of the interface, there are three 1/4 inch jack outputs, one acting as a headphone output and the others as left and right outputs to studio monitors. The USB connection port is located on the back next to the headphone jack. The Boom is powered by USB bus power from your computer or device, eliminating the need for an external power supply and enhancing its convenience and portability.
Within the Apogee Boom are advanced hardware digital signal processors (DSP) that accurately map the analog input signal to digital form with minimal interference, resulting in clear and crisp audio pickup true to the original sound source. The interface also includes the Symphony ECS Channel Strip, a three-band EQ, compressor, and saturation plug-in that allows you to adjust the EQ of your sounds and add effects to incoming signals and audio in your DAW. The onboard mixer and loopback mode make it easy to stream and record multiple audio sources.
The Apogee Boom has a durable steel body with rubber pads on the underside to prevent slipping and damage. Its high-quality build ensures a long service life. The front panel features a large ergonomic volume control knob for easy volume adjustments, while all other controls are accessible through the device plugged into it, reducing complication.
The interface comes with software such as Ableton Live Lite, a condensed version of the industry-standard DAW, and Apogee Control 2, which simplifies the Boom 2’s digital controls. The Apogee Soft Limit Plugin is also included, emulating the soft limit feature found in Apogee analog-to-digital converters to add analog harmonics and create warm, earthy, and gritty sounds.
Features of the Apogee Boom include its compact and portable design with minimum connections, on-board software and virtually displayed parameters for ultimate control, hardware DSPs for clear and lossless analog signal replication, a rugged build for protection, and rubber pads for stability. It is coupled to your recording device via a USB C connection, making it easy to connect to your computer or tablet. The Boom is also bus-powered through the USB C connector, eliminating the need for an additional power cable. The onboard mixer and loopback mode allow for smooth streaming and recording of both input and audio from your device.
The specifications of the Apogee Boom include details about its mic pre, input/output levels, impedance, frequency response, dynamic range, and size and weight. The product code for the Apogee Boom is APO0133.
