Element 88 is the biggest audio interface of the element series, featuring 8 analog inputs connecting microphones, instruments or line-level devices, 8 analog outputs and 8 additional I/O through optical in/out. Ideal for the producer, engineer or musician, Element 88 gives you all the I/O you need to record drums or a full band.

Apogee’s Element 24, 46 and 88 are Thunderbolt audio I/O boxes for Mac. The Element Series takes the best of cutting-edge Apogee gear like Symphony I/O Mk II, Ensemble Thunderbolt and Groove and puts it into simple form factors. With streamlined hardware features and advanced software control, the Element series delivers ultimate recording quality and performance at unprecedented prices.

Element 24, 46 and 88 are built to work together. Connect any two Elements directly to a Thunderbolt port on your computer and increase the number of Analog I/O in your recording system. When using multiple Elements, the Optical I/O is for the low latency mixer internal bussing.
