Apogee's Duet is a hot new two-channel FireWire audio interface with control functions built directly into Apple's Logic Pro, Soundtrack Pro and GarageBand software, creating a simple, powerful personal audio system for professional production on a Mac.
Boasting top-quality 24-bit/96kHz audio I/O, it offers two premium, digitally controlled mic preamps with 75 dB of gain as well as two unbalanced high impedance instrument inputs. Two channels of reference quality output are available via the 1/4" powered speaker connections and headphone jack. Designed for ease of use and portability, its sleek, ultra-compact chassis gives it a small footprint in the workspace while its bus-powered FireWire connection makes it possible to take it and use it anywhere.
It features a multi-function controller knob that can select the input or output source and set gain or level. It can also control MIDI devices (requires downloading Maestro software application from Apogee website).
