Apogee are well known for their high quality (and high priced) interfaces and are now tempting entry-level musicians, podcasters and (here goes) ‘content creators’ with their new interface, subtly called Boom. It’s a 2-in, 2-out USB-C audio interface for macOS, iOS and Windows. As well as its rather different purple design, it’s the “first audio interface in its class” to offer on-board DSP. You get the Symphony ECS Channel Strip (tuned by legendary mixer, Bob Clearmountain), for tweaking input EQ, compression and drive. Boom costs £329. Review soon. Boom!
