The mic/instrument combo inputs provide you with the means to capture both instrument and vocal performances at the best possible quality, allowing you to then process your audio files within Pro Tools for added sheen.
The sleek and highly compact design of the Apogee USB Audio Interface makes it perfect for portable applications, from home recordings all the way to the studio.

Also included is a range of useful controls including multi-function controller knobs as well as access output functions including Sum to Mono and Mute Outputs. Two assignable touchpads are also included for further customisation.
