If you record to your Mac with one or two inputs at a time, the Apogee Element 24 is for you. The Element 24 is a 10-in/12-out audio interface that takes the best of cutting-edge Apogee gear and packs it into a streamlined, cost-effective unit. The Element 24 gives you two front-panel mic/line/instrument inputs on combi connectors, two rear-panel balanced XLR outputs, a stereo headphone out, and word clock I/O. Two of Apogee's world-class mic preamps are onboard, with selectable phantom power.
For expansion flexibility, optical I/O is also provided with ADAT (8 x 8), SMUX (4 x 4), and S/PDIF (2 x 2) compatibility. Apogee's Element Control software gives you remote control of your hardware on your Mac and wireless control via iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
