Apogee BOOM

An enthusiast-tier USB-C interface with a single mic input, two outputs, phantom power, and onboard DSP effects, the BOOM delivers Apogee's signature conversion plus effects in a compact box. Best for solo creators recording one source at a time. Skip it if you need to track two mics simultaneously; it offers just one combo input.
