●Technology that supports sound quality that "ignites your passion"
For nearly 40 years, Apogee has been developing the art of recording in the world of digital audio. BOOM continues that tradition, condensing the essence of recording into a compact enclosure. It will evolve your productions into something truly unique.
- Equipped with the high-end AD/DA component "ESS Sabre DAC" - Supports a maximum input level of +18dBu, ensuring headroom that does not impair dynamics even with loud sources - The microphone preamp achieves a class-leading 62dB of gain, allowing for clear recording of delicate sound sources
● "Zero Ohm Headphone Out" Excellent monitoring sound quality leads to an upgrade in your work. The monitor sound quality during recording is directly linked to your performance, and it goes without saying that monitor sound quality is important for a good mix.
The zero-ohm headphone output, also featured in Apogee's higher-end models Duet 3 and Symphony Desktop, maximizes headphone performance without worrying about headphone impedance.
Whether you're using high-impedance studio headphones or low-impedance headphones for listening or mobile use, you won't have to worry about changes in frequency response. The power, clarity, and balanced sound quality backed by Apogee technology ensures the quality of your productions.
● "Easily utilize studio recording know-how" to achieve the best workflow
BOOM is the first in its class to feature hardware DSP. Tuned by legendary engineer Bob Clearmountain, the Symphony ECS Channel Strip lets you design your input source with 3-band EQ, Comp, and Drive, adding the warmth of analog outboard gear to your sound.
Just like recording in a studio, you can create and record instruments and vocals in real time, or adjust your own voice with EQ and Compression when streaming, allowing you to create ``next-level'' sounds that are not normally possible with just an audio interface.
Perfect for live streaming: The built-in mixer and loopback mode allow you to stream perfectly. You can combine your game output, Spotify playlists, chat notifications, and more into BOOM for optimal monitoring.
●2 In - 2 Out
BOOM has two inputs and two outputs: the input jacks for connecting microphones, guitars, synthesizers, etc. are located on the front, and the speaker and headphone outputs are located on the back.
*Only one output can be active at a time.
- When headphones are connected, the headphone output is activated.
- If headphones are not connected, the speaker output is active.

BOOM is compatible with all iOS devices*, so pair it with an iPad Pro for a powerful production setup on the go. The touch controls of the ECS Channel Strip let you intuitively create amazing sounds.
BOOM's compact and rugged design makes it the perfect travel companion for content creation, anytime, anywhere.
