Apogee Duet Interface
The New 'Duet' from Apogee is pure quality, it offers 2 world famous Apogee mic pre's with 48V and line level inputs at a price never seen before from Apogee. Firewire connection makes this the perfect device for both the studio and the portable musician. We think this is great! The guys at Apple are raving about this & are using them in all the Apple seminars. If it's good enough for them....
Here's what Apogee say about the Duet
Duet is the first two-channel audio interface with control functions built directly into Apple's Logic Pro, Soundtrack Pro and GarageBand. But what if you want to use Duet with another audio application on your Mac, Enter Apogee's Maestro software. With Maestro, you can control all of Duet's capabilities and settings and use Duet with any Core Audio-compatible application. Everything Duet is capable of and more is easily controlled and configured within Maestro.
Additionally, Maestro lets you assign MIDI function controls such as level adjustment, panning and song position to Duet's controller knob. You can also configure the controller knob to mute your headphones or monitors with a simple click. No matter what software you use with Duet, Maestro will give you the control you need.
Maestro's settings, controls and functions:
Input source selection
Input level control
Input source grouping
Output level and type
Output muting
Mic/instrument gain mode
Assigning meter display
Over hold parameters
Assignable MIDI device control
Song position access
Low latency mixing
The I/O breakout cable that comes with Duet makes connecting microphones, instruments and speakers easy and elegant. Each high-quality connector is clearly labeled with the corresponding icon and the speaker connectors are distinguished by a unique purple slider.
The separation of the connectors allows you to direct and group your inputs and outputs anyway you want to, while providing a natural strain relief between Duet and the items connected. The breakout cable also greatly reduces Duet's footprint on your desktop and makes its sleek, low profile design, ergonomic and comfortable to use.
Duet is the first bus powered FireWire interface in the Apogee family. Which means your computer powers Duet, liberating you from a wall socket. So with Duet, a laptop and a little gear, you can roam to wherever your creativity takes you and make incredible sounding recordings in an inspired space.
