Apogee, one of the world’s leaders in digital audio with top tier analog to digital conversion. In other words, it doesn’t get much better than Apogee when it comes to audio interfaces for home recording and pros in the studio. The company is now running a notable promotion on its latest Thunderbolt interface known as Element 88. Anyone who purchases one from an authorized dealer from now through August 15th will receive an Apogee Control for free.
Apogee Element 88 certainly isn’t cheap at just under $1,500, but with the $200 Control thrown in Apogee is certainly adding some value to the proposition. In my hands-on review of the new interface and controller for our Logic Pros series, I found the system to be worth every penny, if you do indeed require this kind of setup. It is easily one of the best options under $2,000 in my opinion.
Element provides 8 channels of high quality conversion for all your mics, synths and instruments, along with intuitive companion software for Mac/iOS to keeps things organized. More details below.
