Apogee Electronics, a leading name in the world of professional audio technology, has made a generous donation of high-quality audio equipment to our SAE Institute Miami campus. This donation will continue to enhance the learning experiences of our students, providing them with even more access to the tools used by professionals in the industry.

The donated products include an Apogee MiC+, with its PureDIGITAL connection, 24-bit/96kHz recording resolution, and built-in zero-latency monitoring. This product is an exceptional tool for recording vocals, instruments, podcasts, and voiceovers with studio-grade clarity. Also included is a JamX interface which offers students the ability to capture the true tone of their instruments with professional precision, enhanced by its built-in analog compressor and zero-latency monitoring—ideal for both recording and performance. Finally, the BOOM Professional 2×2 Audio Interface which brings high-quality recording and mixing capabilities into a compact, portable design. Its ultra-low noise mic preamp, 24-bit/192kHz resolution, and hardware DSP processing open up new possibilities for music production, podcasting, and content creation on campus.
“At Apogee, education has been a core value since our beginning in 1985,” says Apogee CEO Betty Bennett, who personally made the donation along with her husband, engineer and record producer Bob Clearmountain. “Today, everyone on our team is a musician, producer, or creative professional, and we know firsthand how crucial it is to have the right tools for potential to become progress. We believe real growth happens when creators are not just inspired, but enabled. By supporting SAE Institute Miami with MiC+, BOOM, and Jam X, we’re contributing to an education system where students can create, experiment, and push their limits—without having to worry about the quality of their gear holding them back.”
This donation is a significant boost for SAE Institute students as Apogee’s products are trusted by industry pros across the music, film, and broadcasting industries. SAE Institute students will be able to continue to enhance their hands-on learning experience, hone their skills, and prepare themselves for entry-level careers in the audio industry.
“On behalf of everyone at SAE Institute Miami, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for Apogee’s generous donation,” says SAE Institute Miami Campus Director Jerry Rivera. “We are incredibly thankful to be working with a team as innovative and supportive as Apogee, and we’re excited to provide our students with hands-on access to the professional tools they need to thrive in their audio careers.
