The external redesign is matched internally by the all-new microphone preamps and A-D/D-A converters. The Duet 2's black front panel not only carries the familiar, single, large, silver control knob that doubles as encoder and select switch, but also adds two user-assignable touch-pads and a colour OLED screen that communicates control information and meters audio. This has produced a very cool-looking chassis that fits right into the modern Mac environment. Just as the original Duet interface incorporated design cues and Firewire connectivity from its contemporary MacBooks, so the Duet 2 features the black/aluminium and USB 2 connector of the present day. Since then, Apogee have not rested on their laurels, introducing the One mono-in/stereo-out variant a couple of years back, and now bringing us the vastly upgraded Duet 2. It has been three years or so since the introduction of the first two-in/four-out Duet audio interface.

Core Audio compatibility in their products also allows Apogee to address applications such as Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, Digital Performer, and so on. In more recent times, the company, while keeping a keen eye on its higher-end niche, has placed an increased focus on the mobile musician who records on a Mac laptop running Logic and/or Garageband. Apogee's Duet 2 puts the company's famed A-D/D-A conversion into a box that's attractive in terms of both styling and price.Īpogee Electronics are best known for their history in high-end A-D and D-A converters and interfaces that feature in many top studios' equipment lists.
