Apogee Duet USB Audio Interface for iPad and Mac

The Apogee Duet is a two-input, four-output USB audio interface with pristine-sounding preamps and mastering-grade digital audio converters. Perfect for musicians, producers and engineers on the go, Duet offers world-class sound in a portable package. Paired with an elegant interface and an intuitive software controller, Duet makes it easier than ever to create studio-quality recordings anywhere you go.

PROFESSIONAL QUALITY RECORDING

Duet packs a surprising amount of connectivity in its sleek, compact interface. Connect microphones, guitars, line-level instruments and even analog signal processors using two combination line/mic/instrument inputs on the included breakout cable. Each input offers selectable 48 V phantom power for connecting condenser microphones. A soft limiter keeps recordings from peaking, while the phase invert option keeps your stereo recordings in check. Capture your recordings using two cutting-edge microphone preamps with up to 75 dB of gain.

Duet is equipped with four analog outputs, two balanced line outputs and a separately controlled 1/4-inch stereo headphone output. With so many monitoring options, recording engineers can create a separate headphone mix for performers while tweaking the mix on the main monitors.

EASY TO USE

Duet features an intuitive interface with two configurable touchpads and a multi-function controller knob. The touchpads can be programmed to “Mute Outputs”, “Dim Outputs”, “Sum to Mono” or “Toggle Headphone Source” using Apogee’s Maestro 2 software. The controller knob allows you to quickly toggle through inputs and outputs, adjust mic gain, and set output levels. The full-color OLED display delivers visual feedback for a variety of functions.

PORTABLE DESIGN

Compatible with Mac, Windows, and iOS devices, the Duet helps you capture your creativity whenever inspiration strikes. With a compact footprint and a durable design, Duet fits neatly on your desktop, or safely in the bottom of your bag for world-class recording and monitoring anywhere you go.
