Apogee JAM 96k

The Apogee JAM 96k lets you make music anywhere with your guitar and iPhone.

And it delivers realistic tone, maintaining your instrument's true sonic character.

Make music on your mobile device

I've spent lots of time with the original version of the JAM, playing guitar into my iPad. As the name implies, this newer version can capture high-resolution sound up to 24-bit/96kHz. With a high-quality digital connection to your iOS® device and a decent set of headphones, there's almost to limit to when and where you can make music, with professional fidelity. Record songs in GarageBand, or check out the many rather amazing third-party apps that let you emulate a wide range of amps and effects. (My personal favorites are JamUp Pro and BIAS Amp from PositiveGrid, which let you dream up virtual pedalboards and play them through any number of guitar amp models.)

It's easy

Just plug your guitar into the instrument input, connect the digital output to your computer or iOS device using one of the supplied cables, and call up your app of choice. A quick turn of the JAM's gain dial lets you adjust your input level, with feedback from the built-in multi-color LED to tell you when you're overdriving the input to distortion. The JAM is powered by your computer or mobile device, so there's no battery to mess with.

Product Research

Features

Overview: The Apogee JAM 96k professional guitar interface allows you to plug your guitar into your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac for studio quality recording. JAM 96k features a built-in 24-bit / 96kHz DAC. You can listen to your recording directly on your Apple device with very little latency. The pocket-sized JAM 96k has a nickel-plated body with black soft-touch end caps, and comes with an Apple Lightning cable and a USB cable for connecting the device to your iOS device or Mac respectively.

Input/Output: JAM 96k has one input and one output. The input is a Class A instrument-level 1/4" jack with a JFET input stage that emulates the warmth and character of a tube amplifier. It is designed to accept the Hi-Z signal coming from an electric guitar or electric bass. The output has a proprietary connector that lets you plug the device into your Mac (via the supplied USB cable) or your iOS device (via the supplied Lightning cable).

A/D Conversion: JAM 96k has a studio quality A/D converter with high resolution recording up to 24-bit/96kHz. There's no setup required; just plug in your guitar and recording device and begin playing. A side-mounted Gain Wheel lets you dial in the perfect level, based on the multi-colored LED meter.

Power Requirements: JAM 96k has no batteries or external power supply. It is powered by your iOS device or Mac.

Compatible Software: JAM 96k is built for GarageBand and Logic Pro recording software. It also works with MainStage, Pro Tools (v. 9 or higher), or any Core Audio compatible applications. Special circuitry in the interface makes the amps and effects in any guitar or music creation app sound their best.

Compatible Devices and OS: JAM 96k is compatible with Mac OS X version 10.7.5 and later, and with Apple iOS 6.1 and later. The device works with the following Lightning connector-equipped devices:

  • iPad: iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPad (4th generation), iPad mini 4, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 2, and iPad mini
