The BOOM’s mic preamps will hear everything from 20Hz up to 20kHz and feature a dynamic range of 122dB (A-weighted), while the outputs are almost a match at 117dB (A-weighted) of dynamic range and plenty of power for the headphone out at 15dBu/24mW at 30 ohms. Also included on registration is Ableton Live Lite and Apogee’s Soft Limit plugin, the latter being a great way to add some saturation to your tracks as either a mix bus solution or on specific instruments. The BOOM extends Apogee’s range at the smaller end, being a bus-powered interface with two inputs and two outputs, all of which can be controlled via Apogee’s Control 2 software, included with the BOOM. From budding producers expanding their computer to an external soundcard for the first time, all the way through hardened professionals who’ve trusted Apogee since day one, the Apogee BOOM has something for you. The Apogee BOOM aims to be a mobile solution to recording and monitoring and does exactly that.
Clear metering covers a portion of the front of the unit, coupled together with a combo ¼”/XLR input and ¼” input, perfect for an instrument and vocal recording. There’s a single headphone output and two outputs intended for a stereo set of speakers. The Apogee BOOM is a two in, two out audio interface that’s powered and connected via USB-C and small enough to be taken just about anywhere. Gone are the days where you’d have to make do with sub-par quality outside of a more permanent setup, as products like the Apogee BOOM make headway for engineers and producers of all levels. Bus-powered interfaces have gone from budget products to little powerhouses of pro-level conversion on both the input and output. Music making is becoming more and more mobile as tech begins to catch up with our expectations. Words by Lewis Noke Edwards Link Audio | RRP: $499
