ApogeeBOOM 2x2 Audio Interface
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Apogee BOOM is a compact USB-C interface with one XLR/TRS combo input and a separate 1/4-inch input for line-level equipment. Its onboard Symphony ECS Channel Strip applies three-band EQ, compression, and drive to both inputs at once with zero latency, so effects can be used while recording or monitoring without adding CPU load. USB-C power keeps the setup self-contained, and loopback brings multiple audio sources into a livestreaming workflow. It also works with iOS, including touch control of the ECS Channel Strip on iPad.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording a microphone or instrument alongside a separate 1/4-inch line-level source.
- Livestreaming setups that need loopback for multiple audio sources.
- Portable iPad recording with touch control over the ECS Channel Strip.
