Apogee BOOM is a compact USB audio interface designed for musicians, podcasters, video creators, and live streamers who demand high-quality audio in a portable format. Featuring premium AD/DA conversion, a powerful hardware DSP, and a rugged metal chassis, BOOM delivers professional 24-bit/192kHz recordings whether you're at home, in the studio, or on the go.
BOOM offers two flexible inputs: one combo mic/line/instrument input and one balanced instrument/line input, supporting professional input levels up to +18 dBu. The built-in microphone preamp delivers up to 62 dB of clean gain, making it ideal for capturing even the most delicate sources with precision. The zero-ohm headphone output drives high-impedance headphones with audiophile clarity, while the dedicated stereo speaker output ensures reliable studio monitoring. Built for mobility, BOOM is bus-powered via USB-C and is compatible with macOS, Windows, and iPadOS devices.
What truly sets BOOM apart is its built-in DSP powered by the Symphony ECS Channel Strip plugin, providing real-time EQ, compression, and analog-style drive for refined input shaping. The onboard mixer with loopback functionality makes it easy to blend audio from multiple sources during livestreams or podcasting. Whether you’re crafting a music mix, editing a podcast, or streaming to your audience, BOOM is the perfect audio sidekick.
