Apogee's Element 24, 46 and 88 under the Thunderbolt audio I/O box for Mac product line takes the best of cutting-edge Apogee gear like Symphony I/O Mk II, Ensemble Thunderbolt and Groove and puts it into simple form factors. With a more succinct and fluid host of features and unbeatable software control, the Element series delivers ultimate recording quality and performance at unprecedented prices.
Some of its benefits include:
- Apogee’s Element series of Thunderbolt audio interfaces offer users the same conversion performance as Ensemble and the same world-class mic preamps as Quartet.
- Whilst the Duet and Quartet have set the industry standard for sleek desktop audio interface design, Apogee’s intentions are clear with the Element series – take the best ‘Elements’ found inside the Ensemble, the Quartet and the Duet and house them in a more affordable simplified black box design.
- All I/O controls and settings can be easily accessed via the Apogee Control app for Mac. It’s as simple as plugging your Element into your Mac, downloading the app and you’re good to go. You can also download the iOS app for main feature controls on-the-go.
- For those who prefer fingertip adjustment control, the optional Control remote is also available.
- With any purchase of Apogee Element, you receive Apogee ModComp and Apogee ModEQ, two of Apogee’s premium native plugins included for free.
- Element also gives you access to the new Apogee FX Rack bundle of DualPath DSP-Native technology plugins, available exclusively with Ensemble Thunderbolt and Element Series.
