I've used Apogee gear in the past, including the original Duet, but this updated version is truly off the hook.February 2, 2013 Music Background: Recording and live sound engineer, pro musician, electronics engineer. Where I used to find I needed to tweak eq in the past to get a usable sound for p... read more [+]olished finish mixes, this little beauty really shines! I find that I can get amazing sound and near perfect tone with only adjusting mic placement over killing myself with corrective eq. I jokingly recorded an acoustic country song (mind you most of what I do is mainly punk rock or hardcore) and in a short afternoon had one of the best recordings I've ever made. The mic pres are breathtaking and the stereo imaging is like nothing I've used in the past anywhere near this price range. Pair this with a TLM103, a Rode K2, a stereo pair of pencil condensers, a D112 and an SM57 and you can take on any recording project with complete confidence that you'll come out on top. This is an absolute must for anyone who is looking for a budget solution and demands the biggest bang for their dollar. It isn't just the analog to digital converters either, I found the digital to analog converters did wonders for my mixes and exposed a lot of things that were causing some of my older mixes issues that I wasn't able to easily pinpoint due to the muddy converters on my older equipment. In all, this is a magical little box of sonic wonder. Everything going in or going out of this gets a sonic wow-factor. If your needs go no further than tracking a couple sources at a time, stop looking at other products now, you've just found what you were looking for. If you absolutely require more I|O would be the only reason I would say this might not be the right box for you. (in that case, take a serious look at the Quartet from Apogee) close [-] wow this thing right here

Mike HammondThe original Apogee Duet gave you top-class converters, tight integration, and super stability with most any Core Audio application. With the Apogee Duet 2, the audio specs are improved further, and even lower latency with Apple's OS 10.6.4! This USB interface provides four balanced outputs this time, assignable touch pads, and a brilliant, helpful display. Just like its audio quality, it also looks and feels solid.
