hey guys johnathan here was TLD and i got a chance to take a hands-on first look that apogee is upcoming one for iOS and Mac as a follow-up to the original one which I actually currently own and really enjoy the second gen features an improved die cast aluminum body as opposed to a plastic body on the original one then you also get new circuitry and a new mic capsule which both ultimately lead to improved sound quality now I know the original one can be hacked to connect to an iPad with Apple's USB camera connection kit B also missed important things like phantom power for condenser mics and it also drained battery insanely quick now the second gen one is designed from the inside out to work with iOS devices so it'll actually charge your iPad iPhone or iPod Touch when you're using the ones DC adapter or you can even run it remotely off of a couple double-a batteries now like the original one you get a built-in condenser microphone so you can get high quality recordings without even having to buy an additional microphone if you didn't want to you also get two analog inputs via a breakout cable so you get a quarter-inch Heisey instrument input with up to 45 decibels again and then you also get an XLR mic inputs with a stellar mic pre that gives you up to a massive 62 decibels again now unlike the original one where you could only record one of those inputs at a time on the second gen one you can now record those two inputs simultaneously which is definitely a welcomed improvement so you combine all thats with Apogee 24-bit 96k low hertz atd and d2 a conversion you get arguably the best audio interface for under 400 bucks on the market for both iOS and Mac which also doubles as a high-quality DAC now like I said I do currently own the original one so I'm extremely excited to get my hands on the new one test it out review it do some comparisons and some demos so if you guys want to see that you guys can let me know by a hitting that like button or you leaving me a comment and then B you guys can make sure to subscribe so you don't miss the full review and obviously more tech content to come aside from that thank you guys very much for watching if you guys want to get in contact with me Twitter Facebook Google+ all those links are down below along with what equipment I use to record my videos thank you guys again then I will see you guys later
