Rated 5 out of 5 by andrew from Easy to use, great sound and flexible! I was a professional synth programmer and sound designer for many years and have what are considered pro ears. I wanted to get a small, portable and flexible audio input device to do some recording into both my iPad and my MacBook Pro. My needs were simple. 1) Great sound 2) Self powered 3) Fast and easy to use 4) Line in only (not for use with a mic) 5) Able to accept guitar and synth outputs I looked all around at pretty much every lower level input device and the JAM fit the bill perfectly in every way.

First off it comes with two cables; one that works with USB and any computer and another that mates with the iPad/iPhone. I plugged it in and had really high quality signals showing up on the iPad and Mac immediately.no muss.no fuss.just great sound as one would expect from Apogee. The little volume knob and multi-color LED provide all the feedback I need to know that there is signal and how hot it is to avoid overload. I was able to get good volume direct from my Fender Tele as well as my analog modular synths with virtually NO noise.it is really quiet with a clear, articulate sound. I can monitor sound via the line outputs from the iPad and/or Mac so that works fine. I have tried other devices with the Mac and I can say I notice increased resolution and detail with the JAM.as I have with other Apogee devices.

Jam Guitar Input For Mac Pro

The only concerns I have, if there are any is that the device is plastic (but feels quite sturdy) and the output connenctor to the USB/iPad cables (they provide two) is unique so if I loose the cable thats an issue.so I'll be careful there. All in all for both the novice and pro who can deal with a mono in, line level interface you can't go wrong with the JAM. Plug it in and you'll be jamming in no time!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from good, but could be better I bought this to work out ideas on my iPad. The sound is appropriately good, in that it matches the quality of GB on the iPad.But I find the physical design a bit clunky and cheap, leaving much to be desired. For $ it should feel more solid than the plastic it is. The connector is not standard and the cable is not a length that lends itself to good placement. I would also hope to see an app that allows me to use the device without GB.Given what's available, however, this is really the only choice for now. Rated 4 out of 5 by Spraken from Nice and Clear Sound Reproduction I use this product mainly for my hobby of playing and recording adaptation of songs.

Sound reproduction is clear. Very easy to use.

No crosstalk. No noticeable delay.

If you do play on iPad or iPhone as a hobby, this probably is the best interface if you want your recordings to be as professional sounding as possible. Only one thing I didn't like is the plastic enclosure. It looks like it is susceptible to breakage.

Other than that I give this equipment a very good rating mainly for what it does.

Hello Cleveland! Or, you know, wherever you are.

Are you ready to rock? Oh, well, maybe just a little jam session, then? (no, not the company that brought you all those Duke Nukem releases back in the day) has announced the new Jam device, which enables a digital connection for electric and bass guitars into iOS 4.2.1 (and greater) devices or into any Core Audio compatible apps on Mac. You can record straight into GarageBand if you like and use the built-in control knob to adjust your levels. That connectivity won't come for free, naturally, with a $99 MSRP slapped on this one.

It'll start rocking stores in March - plenty enough time to find another new drummer.
