BOOM : Here comes the boom!

Being the proud owner of the apogee duet FireWire for some years support for the newer MacBooks are obsolete. I honestly did not want to change because of the build and sound quality. Knowing apogee sound I looked at an alternative. I did not want to spend a mass amount on a card and then I looked at the apogee boom. I went ahead and purchased it. When it arrived I opened the box and the first thing that stood out was the aluminum body and vibrant colour. When I picked it up I just knew it was that same quality you expect from apogee. Setting it up was a breeze compared to the older model. The software was much more intuitive. The sound quality is exactly like the duet and that warm crisp sound you would expect from apogee, highly satisfied. The only downside would be for me is the headphones are at the rear of the unit, not too much of a hassle but would have preferred it on the front for ease of access. 5 stars from me.
