If you find that your Mac or MacBook’s speaker volume isn’t high enough, Boom is a great tool to amplify the sound coming from your speakers.
Here’s how you do it:
- Purchase and install Boom 2 on your Mac. The cost of the app is $14.99 but you can download a free 14 day trial from here to try the app.
- Once the download completes, click on boom2.dmg to mount the file.
- You’ll see a window like this that pops up. Drag the Boom app icon to the Applications folder.
- Now open Boom 2 from your Applications folder. If you get a warning saying Boom 2 is an application downloaded from the Internet, click on Open.
- Agree to the license agreement.
- If you purchased Boom, enter your registration code, else click on Trial.
- Click on Install to continue. Enter your Mac’s password to allow the installation to proceed.
- Next, click on the Calibrate button to calibrate your Mac’s audio.
- Once the calibration is over, click on the Start Booming button.
- You’ll see the equaliser below, but you can go ahead and close that because the actual amplification happens from Boom’s menu bar icon.
- Click on Boom’s menu bar icon, and you’ll see a simple volume slider.
- Slide it all the way to the top to boost your volume much higher than the usual maximum level.
Boom has a really nice interface, and some other cool features like modifying audio files to amplify its sound levels, and setting a global equaliser for all audio playing on your speakers.
