General

Apogee's Duet is an advanced, high-grade MIDI and audio interface for use with your Mac or iOS device. Built with quality electric circuits, this interface allows the seamless transfer of incoming signals to your system, without loss of quality. The energy-efficient OLED screen lets you clearly read incoming and outgoing signal strengths and check settings. Via the rotary knob and two configurable touch buttons, you can easily adjust settings. When you buy the Duet, Apogee will give you a huge discount on Waves Plugin bundles!

Professional Recording

The Duet is a professional product made with the very best materials and engineering expertise to deliver perfect results with minimal latency and maximum signal quality. It's compatible with the latest Apple products and a phantom power supply option allows for professional studio recordings with condenser mics.

Versatile USB Technology

Since a USB 3.0 would not ensure speedier transfers on this device because that would only mean that the bandwidth increases and a USB2.0 already exceeds the required bandwidth of this device, the Duet uses a USB2.0 port to achieve high-speed data transfers. Power and MIDI transfers to your Mac are done via USB. However, if you connect the Duet to a portable Apple device, a power adapter is required, which will simultaneously charge your device.

super mooi ding! ik gebruik hem met mijn 2 x krk rokit 6.
hij werkt perfect en de geluidskwalitieit is super goed.
hij is ook nog erg compact dus je kunt hem makkelijk vervoeren.
super mooi dingetje alleen aan de dure kant maar is zeker het geld waard!

bad for your wallet and nerves, great for your senses!!.

Ik gebruik hem voor mijn iMac.
Kost een hoop geld, en is al jaren weinig stabiel. Toch gebruik ik hem nog, want de geluidskwaliteit is -zelfs voor mij hoorbaar- heel mooi helder en scherpe toondefinitie. En hij is mooi vormgegeven - mijn ogg wil ook wat.
Wat de stabiliteit betreft: ik heb al ongeveer 1000 maal de installatie van nieuwe firmware doorlopen, 2500 maal allerlei stekkertjes losgetrokken - de hulp van Apogee helpt niet.

Amazing sounding interface, and the small size makes it highly portable, and easy to bring from studio to studio!

Een duidelijke verbetering t.o.v. voorganger Duet 2. Maar twijfels blijven; geen optische of digitale coax in/gangen, slechts voor Apple apparaten geschikt en niet bepaald goedkoop. Zou Apogee dit apparaat platformonafhankelijk hebben gemaakt zodat het ook op Windows en Linux systemen kon worden aangesloten dan kon het mij definitief over de streep trekken. Wat mij betreft dus nog maar even doorontwikkelen dit product.

Apogee Presents Elements Thunderbolt Interface and Remote

Tuesday 27 September 2016 By Julie Alexander

Apogee, primarily known for their high-end interfaces for Apple computers, have raised the bar with the release of the Symphony, Ensemble thunderbolt and Groove interfaces. With the release of the respective Element 24, 46 en 88, Apogee offers us a trifecta of Thunderbolt audio interfaces that are more than meets the eye. The Element series is a powerful one, and is not a trio to be trifled with.
