For nearly four decades, Apogee has been perfecting the art of analog recording in a digital world. BOOM continues this legacy by focusing on detail and premium audio components — allowing your projects to stand out from the crowd.

• BOOM's conversion stages employ state-of-the-art analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog components, not low-cost codecs.
• All inputs accept a professional specification maximum input level of +18dBu, ensuring a pure audio signal even with the loudest sources.
• The mic preamps deliver a class-leading 62dB of gain to capture delicate sources with clarity.
• The zero ohm headphone output delivers an audiophile experience, with power, clarity and frequency response perfectly balanced even for high impedance “hi-fi” headphones.
• The Apogee Loopback feature makes it easy to stream live from different audio sources. Produce a seamless live stream with built-in Mixer and Loopback mode. Hear your game, music playlist and chat notifications at the same time and at the perfect level.
• Built-in DSP and Symphony ECS Channel Strip plugin — customized by legendary mixer Bob Clearmountain, the Symphony ECS Channel Strip lets you fine-tune your audio with a 3-band EQ, compression, and a drive knob that adds rig warmth and punch analogues, all without compromising your computer's processing power.
• BOOM is compact and portable — powered by USB, it requires no external power source*. Constructed with a steel exterior and rubber pads along the base, BOOM is built to stand the test of time.
• Connection to Lightning devices requires the Apple Camera Connection kit and a powered external USB hub.
• Produce on iPad – BOOM is compatible with iOS devices, making it an ultra-portable solution for creating content on the go with your iPad Pro. ECS Channel Strip touch control makes it easy to adjust for an ideal sound.
