About Apogee Electronics BOOM

Take your audio projects to new heights with the BOOM 2x2 Desktop USB Type-C Audio Interface with Built-In Hardware DSP FX. Ideal for musicians, podcasters, and live streamers, this device is designed to elevate your sound quality and inspire creativity.

The BOOM 2x2 is not just for beginners; it's also a trusted tool for professionals, offering the renowned Apogee sound quality. It's the most cost-effective Apogee 2x2 USB-C audio interface on the market, making professional-grade audio accessible to all.

Experience the richness of analog tone with the onboard DSP FX and ECS Channel Strip. This feature, fine-tuned by legendary mixer Bob Clearmountain, allows you to sculpt your voice, vocals, and instruments as you record. With a 3-band EQ, compression, and Drive, you can add the warmth and grit of analog gear to your recordings.

The BOOM 2x2 stands out in its category for its powerful mic preamp and pristine conversion. Capable of powering demanding mics like the Shure SM7B with up to 62dB of clean, noiseless gain, it captures signals with Apogee's legendary analog to digital conversion. This results in pristine, professional recordings that truly make your tracks stand out.

Master your mix with BOOM's studio-grade headphone amp and DAC. It can power anything from in-ear monitors to high impedance headphones, thanks to its zero-ohm headphone output. This ensures your headphones deliver more clarity, dynamics, and a perfectly balanced frequency response.

The BOOM 2x2 is also perfect for live streaming on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, or Instagram. With Loopback mode and the Apogee Control mixer, you can blend and tune your analog inputs with audio from various sources like video games, Spotify playlists, your DAW, chat notifications, and more.

The Apogee Control 2 software gives you complete access to all BOOM functions and features, including the Symphony ECS Channel Strip FX running on BOOM's hardware DSP. Boost your creativity further with Apogee's legendary Soft Limit, which adds the warmth and character of analog tape to your tracks.

Included with your BOOM 2x2 is Ableton Live Lite, a user-friendly platform for writing, recording, producing, and performing your own music. Also included is the Tone King Mk II plugin by Neural DSP, delivering authentic vintage guitar sounds in a modern package.

Note: The Tone King Mk II plugin and Ableton Live Lite are included when you register your new BOOM 2x2.
