Recording with the ONE for iPad & Mac
Apogee's ONE for iPad & Mac lets you record a voice and guitar onto your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch®, or Mac computer with studio-grade high fidelity. This 2-channel interface comes with a breakout cable that allows you to plug in and record an instrument and a microphone at the same time. For even more convenience, the ONE's built-in condenser microphone makes it even easier to capture vocals, especially when you use the included mic stand clip to hold your ONE in singing position.
AD/DAC and headphone amp
The ONE works with GarageBand®, Maestro, and most other iOS and Mac compatible recording apps, using Apogee's premium converters to transform analog signals to digital for recording. The device can also convert digital signals to analog, so you can listen to pre-recorded and downloaded music from your devices via your headphones or stereo system. You can even use this versatile device in your car — plug your portable device's digital output into the ONE, then plug the ONE into your car stereo's auxiliary input, for better fidelity than with your portable device's internal converter.
Electrical features
You can adjust the control knob for optimum performance — the LED meters indicate the appropriate input and output levels. The universal power supply works with any electrical system in North America and abroad. When plugged in, the ONE for iPad & Mac even charges your portable device. It also runs on two AA batteries so you can use it anywhere.
