Tap into That Apogee Sound Quality — Anywhere!

The easy, ultra-compact way to get premium audio into your Mac! Believe it or not, the elegantly simple One interface has everything you need right onboard to make it happen. Plug the One into your Mac via USB, and get ready for the next level. You can either use the built-in microphone to capture your ideas or plug an instrument or microphone into the One's instrument input or world-class microphone preamplifier. Whichever you choose, you've got the slick multifunction encoder knob onboard to take charge of your sound. If you're recording on a Mac, you've found the One. Take it everywhere!







Quality matters. That's why Apogee equipped One with 24-bit/48kHz conversion capability. And, packed into this slim (barely bigger than an iPhone) chassis are a tuned condenser mic, a phantom-powered Apogee mic preamp, an instrument input, and a high-quality stereo output that works with both headphones and speakers. One comes complete with a handy breakout cable that allows you to plug in what you want, without dragging around a bulky interface. And its elegant encoder knob makes it easy to navigate One's functions, assign parameters, and more. It's your ultimate mobile studio companion!

A Must Have For Any MacBook Owner

by Joe Bae from Bergen County, NJ, USA

Music Background:
Whether you use this as your first interface or as your backup/travel interface, you can not go wrong with this product. It's great for people just starting to produce and only need one track at a tim... read more [+]e. It's great for songwriters to record quick, fleeting ideas. It's great for musicians on the road who just want to jam out out of the blue. It's great for recording for YouTube. It's great for voiceovers. It's just great!

What I'm most impressed with is the built-in mic. It sounds a lot better than it looks! close [-]

One VS Duet VS Avid Mbox

by Aston Clyde from Los Angeles
December 23, 2010
Music Background: Electronic Archives
The One is truly the one! It will blow you away. The internal mic although a bit on the thin side works best for my dark male voice. It sounds identical to the Duet. I drive my SM7B with it and it has... read more [+] enough juice (63dB) to handle this known power hungry mic. Same thing with the RE-20. Everything sounds open and wide. Now, the Avid Mbox sounds very rich and probably features better converters than both the Apogees! The Mbox has a deeper less brittle sound on playback which is stunning and detailed. You could listen to it for hours without any fatigue. Apogee has the edge on the mic preamps. The gain control is more accurate. I own both and feel that it works best that way when mixing the final product. If you have a PC, the Mbox is a no-brainer. For what these interfaces go for, you can't afford not to own them all. In a mix uploaded online, your music will sound like any commercial release out there. close [-]

Superb for Voiceovers

by Anthony Gettig from Portage, MI
August 16, 2010
Music Background: Voiceover Artist
I am a voiceover artist and usually only need one input at a time. I use an RE20 for a lot of my work and one thing that mic needs is gain. How about 63dB from the One! All I want is pure voice for my... read more [+] recordings and the One lets me do that with no pre if I want to. This is the new interface for my home stdio and will be great as I travel in the months ahead.

I don't know how to explain it, but the audio I record through the One sounds noticeably better than my current interface. (I won't mention any names but it's Avidly Mini.) :) I can actually hear a difference in the finished voiceover between the interfaces. Chalk it up to the Apogee name and quality conversion perhaps?

The on-board mic is actually pretty decent. With a little EQ, I could see recording an audition with it.

Accessories: get the mount. You'll want it sooner rather than later. I didn't get the carrying case because I already have something to transport it in when necessary.

Getting an Apogee isn't much more affordable than this unit. I would highly recommend it for voiceover artists and solo music recording artists. close [-]
