Apogee BOOM 2x2 USB Audio Interface with Hardware DSP FX
The Apogee Boom is a compact audio interface that features high-quality digital signal processors (DSP). It is designed with a rugged steel shell for protection and rubber pads on the bottom to ensure stability. The front of the Boom includes a 1/4 inch jack and an XLR input, while the back has balanced left and right outputs and a headphone output. It is also bus powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply.

The Boom’s hardware DSPs effectively map analog sound and replicate it clearly to speakers or software while retaining the analog warmth. It comes with the onboard Symphony ECS Channel Strip plugin, which allows users to EQ, compress, and saturate their audio. Additionally, it includes Ableton Live Lite, Apogee Controller 2, and the Apogee Soft Limiter Plug-in. The Apogee Boom is an affordable, compact, and portable audio interface that is ideal for musicians and digital creators looking to record.

The compact BOOM 2×2 USB Audio Interface condenses Apogee’s advanced technology into a portable and easy-to-use device. Designed in California, this interface combines high-tech features with convenience. Whether you’re recording vocals, mixing tracks, streaming video games, or recording commentary, the Boom will deliver impressive performance. It provides analog-to-digital conversion expected from top-of-the-range Apogee devices.

On the front panel, there are two inputs: one XLR and one 1/4 inch jack, allowing users to utilize both simultaneously for instruments and microphones. On the back, there are three 1/4 inch jack outputs, with one acting as a headphone output and the others as left and right outputs to studio monitors. The USB connection port is located next to the headphone jack for easy accessibility. The Boom Interface is powered by USB bus power, eliminating the need for an external power supply and enhancing convenience and portability.

The Apogee Boom features advanced hardware digital signal processors (DSP) that accurately map analog input signals to digital form with minimal interference, resulting in clear and crisp audio. The interface includes the Symphony ECS Channel Strip, a three-band EQ, compressor, and saturation plug-in for adjusting EQ and adding effects to incoming signals and existing audio in your DAW. The onboard mixer and loopback mode allow for easy streaming and recording of multiple audio sources.

The Apogee Boom has a stylish and durable steel body that houses the inner components. Rubber pads on the underside of the interface prevent slipping and damage. It has a long service life and features a large ergonomic volume control knob on the front for easy volume adjustment. All other controls are accessible through the device connected to the Boom, reducing complication.

The Boom comes with software included. Ableton Live Lite is a condensed version of the industry-standard DAW, allowing users to get familiar with audio editing before considering the full version. Apogee Control 2 simplifies the digital controls of the Boom interface and is available for Windows, MacOS, and iOS. The Apogee Soft Limit Plugin emulates the soft limit feature found in Apogee analog-to-digital converters, adding analog harmonics to digital audio for warm and gritty sounds.

Features of the Apogee Boom include its compact and portable design, on-board software and virtually displayed parameters for ultimate control, hardware DSP for clear and lossless analog signal replication, rugged build with rubber pads for protection, easy USB C connection to recording devices, and bus power for convenience. The interface also has an onboard mixer and loopback mode for seamless streaming and recording.
