Apogee Electronics has announced a new version of their JAM mini USB audio interface. It’s imaginitively called the JAM 96k and it’s not just for Mac and iOS, it’s also for Windows. Yes, that’s right, Apogee actually released something for Windows.

JAM 96k

It’s a very simple guitar interface for your iPad, Apple Mac or Windows computer. It has all the “legendary” sound quality, warmth and richness of Apogee technology. It’s pocket sized, it plugs in via USB and lets you plug your guitar into the other end. It’s powered by USB, has a gain wheel on the side and can record up to 24bit 96kHz. Awesome simplicity. Although it’s designed for Hi-z guitar inputs it can also handle dynamic microphones and line level from a synthesizer as well. It’s a versatile little box.

This is all cool and groovy until you get down to the nitty gritty of the Windows audio engine. On the Mac with their Core Audio system you can combine audio interfaces, inputs and outputs, with ease. The software addresses the Core Audio and goes to whatever interface or output you’ve specified. On Windows this doesn’t happen. For low latency you need to be using ASIO drivers and unfortunately you cannot mix and match audio interfaces under the same ASIO driver. The reason this is important is because the JAM 96k has no output. No line output, no headphone output and so they are relying on another audio engine for getting playback. On the Mac – no problem because of Core Audio. On Windows you are going to have to use a third party driver called ASIO4ALL. Now this is a remarkable utility that let’s you combine audio interfaces into one ASIO driver on Windows, but it’s not as good or efficient as using a proper ASIO driver for one audio interface.

So ultimately this interface is not particularly well suited for Windows use, which is a shame. You can use it, it will work, but there are better solutions out there that use proper ASIO drivers and have their own outputs as well as inputs.

В 2010 году Jam был представлен в магазинах Apple по всему миру, как первый высококачественный цифровой интерфейс для подключения гитар и инструментов к устройствам Mac и IOS. Jam установил новый стандарт в мобильной звукозаписи, объединив известные спецификации и преобразующие компоненты Apogee в простом и портативном дизайне. Jam+ продолжает серийное развитие, привнося лучшие достижения в дизайне и разработке Apogee в полностью обновленном металлическом корпусе с улучшенной схемой PureDIGITAL для выдающегося ‘true tone’ аудио разрешения.

Режим Drive делает звучание виртуальных усилителей и эффектов более реалистичным, и предоставляет великолепный тон для прямой записи с нулевой задержкой. Трансформируйте первозданный прямой сигнал в насыщенный, теплый овердрайв, обеспечивающий всё: от чистейшего буста до плотного дисторшна в традициях самых желанных винтажных усилителей и стомпбоксов.

Jam+ оснащен 1/8-дюймовым стерео выходом на наушники и функцией Blend для мониторинга с нулевой задержкой. Настройка Blend позволяет с легкостью отрегулировать входящий инструментальный сигнал и смикшировать его с плэйбэк софтом, что позволяет добиться идеального микса.

Customer Reviews

WOW, just WOW

“I had been using the Focusrite Saffire and was beginning to think my Mackie 824s were dying. Well, with the Apogee Duet they have resurrected. Clarity and deep base. The recording of my guitar sounded better than in the studio. Midi connected with ease. This product is very intuitive and makes sense. Nothing complicated, just pristine input and output.

I am very impressed in a good way with this product. Yes, expensive, but my oh my, very perceivable upgrade from the Saffire.”

Audio Nirvana.

“One of the Best audio interfaces on the market, period. Paired with a pair of Dynaudio BM5 MKIII is just Audio Nirvana!! Sound is clear, accurate a detailed. I bought it mostly for music listening because the ESS Sabre 32 DAC but also to use with my Pro Tools 12 rig. One of my best audio purchases ever!! 1000% recommended.”

I love Apogee!

“This is my first Apogee device. Everything about it is amazing. It’s low latency it can go down to and the converters on this little guy are mind blowing. The preamps are super clean and sound awesome when you drive them hard with the soft limit on. Def the best small interface I have ever owned. This badboy is going to be part of my mobile rig for a long time to come.”

The Apogee Advantage

Why Apogee Duet is the best choice
for your studio

Apogee is an award-winning industry leader in digital recording technology with over 25 years of experience. Preferred by recording pros around the world, Apogee products like Duet, Ensemble and Symphony I/O have been instrumental in creating countless GRAMMY® and OSCAR® winning recordings and have set the industry standard in professional recording for over two decades. Duet is built solidly on this reputation.

A difference you will hear

From the mic preamps to the AD/DA converters and the clocking, Duet is best-in-class and cutting-edge Apogee technology. With components carefully selected in critical listening tests and a highly efficient circuit design, Duet was built by Apogee engineers to make a difference you can hear.

Pristine, next generation
AD/DA converters

Duet’s AD/DA converters are designed to deliver the purest recordings and best listening experience possible. Duet’s efficient circuitry and state-of-the-art components provide a simplified signal path resulting in incredibly transparent recordings.

Smooth, detailed world-class
mic preamps

Much like the AD/DA converters, Duet’s mic preamps feature the latest components and offer seamless click-free transitions as the gain increases and decreases throughout the incredible range of 0-75dB. This unprecedented feature allows you to dial in the perfect level, either with the controller knob or from within software, while delivering ultra-low noise and smooth, crisp detail. Duet’s mic pres are suitable for all dynamic, condenser or ribbon microphones, allowing you to capture any sound without compromise.

Soft Limit – Protection from digital overs

An Apogee technology first introduced in 1992 on Apogee’s AD-500 converter, Soft Limit can be heard on countless platinum selling records around the world. Once a technology exclusively reserved for Apogee’s most advanced audio converters, Soft Limit is included in Duet and can be enabled in Apogee Maestro software.

This superior analog design prevents the digital clipping that causes distortion by instantaneously rounding off transient peaks before they hit the analog-to-digital converter. Soft Limit allows several more decibels of apparent level to be recorded while subtly providing an analog-like warmth to the sound.
