Make Your Content Shine

Apogee has set the world standard for conversion quality since hitting the market in 1985. Now, with the introduction of the BOOM USB-C Audio Interface, Apogee offers otherworldly conversion quality at a lower price than ever before. This 2-in/2-out interface lets you connect a mic, instrument, or stereo source before using the hardware DSP-powered Symphony ECS Channel Strip to enhance your signal with EQ, compression, and drive.

BOOM does all of this at the input stage with zero latency — a major plus for creators of all kinds. Under the hood, BOOM also features loopback functionality for livestreaming. The interface is highly compact and built with a rugged steel chassis designed to withstand a life of mobile recording. If you want to capture your audio with pristine clarity, the Apogee BOOM delivers.

Note: Connecting BOOM to iOS devices with Lightning connectors requires an Apple Camera Connection Kit and a powered external USB hub.

Built for Creators

Whether you're a musician, podcaster, streamer, or content creator, BOOM provides the tools you need to bring inspiring projects to life. Musicians will appreciate shaping their sound with built-in zero-latency hardware DSP, while podcasters using dynamic broadcast microphones will benefit from BOOM’s generous 62dB of mic preamp gain.

Livestreamers can take advantage of the integrated loopback feature to blend voice and system audio seamlessly before going live. And for those who demand accurate monitoring, BOOM includes a zero-ohm 1/4-inch headphone output capable of driving everything from studio cans to high-impedance gaming and hi-fi headphones.

Zero-Latency Hardware DSP Sweetens Your Sound at the Source

The BOOM interface is the first in its class to feature onboard hardware DSP, powered by the Symphony ECS Channel Strip. Tuned by legendary mixer Bob Clearmountain, the ECS Channel Strip allows you to sculpt your sound directly at the input with zero latency.

With hardware DSP, you can fine-tune a 3-band EQ, apply smooth compression, and add drive to your signal — all before it reaches your DAW, and without any perceptible delay.

Control Everything with Your iPad or Computer

Apogee designed BOOM with content creators in mind. After setup, simply install the Apogee Control 2 software for macOS or Windows, or download the free Apogee Control 2 app from the App Store. The software provides detailed control over every aspect of the interface.

iPad users benefit from intuitive touch control over the ECS Channel Strip, making it easy to dial in inspiring sounds quickly and efficiently.

Great for On-Location Audio

BOOM isn’t just ideal for desktop setups — it’s also an excellent choice for mobile recording. The steel chassis and rubber feet provide durability and stability on any surface, while the compact footprint and lightweight design make it easy to transport.

Powered entirely via USB, BOOM eliminates the need for external power sources. Simply plug it into your computer, and you’re ready to capture high-quality audio anywhere inspiration strikes.
