A beautiful and noble design. What else this classic has to offer

The Apogee Duet has been on the market for 14 years now and it's hard to imagine the world of audio interfaces without it. In 2007 the first Duet interface was introduced and in 2013 the second generation followed. The Apogee Duet 3 has other advantages besides its stunning flat and modern design.

Accordingly, this desktop interface has a body made of aluminum and a surface made of Gorilla Glass. Via a breakout cable, the Apogee Duet 3 offers four inputs and two outputs with Apogee's high-quality AD/DA conversion. A zero headphone output is also provided.

Microphone Preamp

The two preamps deliver up to 60 dB of gain and 48 volt phantom power. This allows clean recordings without noise at maximum preamp gain

Choose from numerous Clearmountain-created presets and record with zero latency via Duet's internal DSP.
The native version of the Symphony ECS Channel Strip plug-in is available separately.
