Apogee DUETv2

2 IN x 4 OUT USB2.0 audio interface for Mac

A simple in and out USB2.0 interface for your Mac, that is far from simple in its quality of performance. High quality AD and D/A conversion - as you'd expect from Apogee. Like the original Duet, the DUET 2 is highly portable, and sport a pair of microphone / line inputs.

Outputs have been beefed up from the original though, with now a pair of balanced outs for speakers, and a dedicated headphone output. And because we love a good quote at Factory Sound, we were particularly taken with this one from the Apgoee website: "With Duet 2, make studio quality recordings of vocals...dums, and anything musical"
