FAQ
Yes! Thanks to the Apogee Control 2 iOS app you can easily record with BOOM on any iOS device.
No. BOOM is USB-Bus Powered.
BOOM runs the Symphony ECS Channel Strip which gives you a 3-Band EQ, Compressor, and Drive knob to shape your recordings.
Yes, Boom’s headphone output is designed to drive both high and low impedance headphones optimally.
No additional headphone amp would be required to power high impedance headphones.
We recommend using headphones with higher impedances (50 Ohms and higher) for the best audio quality.
