Apogee Electronics

Designed to be the audiophile-quality centerpiece of a mobile recording setup, the Apogee Electronics Duet 3 is a 2x4 USB-C audio interface bringing Apogee's legendary sonic performance and intuitive operability to an ultracompact, elegant, and durable form factor for musicians, producers, and songwriters in pursuit of their best sound no matter where they are. While the low-profile exterior combines an aluminum base with a Gorilla Glass top to make it durable and attractive, the internals boast built-in hardware DSP to power the optional Symphony ECS Channel Strip plug-in for signal sculpting and polishing without bogging down your computer or iOS device.It features two world-class microphone preamps with phantom power and plenty of gain to ensure robust amplification even for low-output ribbons and classic dynamics such as the Shure SM7B. It can also accept line-level signals or direct connections from instruments such as electric guitar and bass. With two balanced analog 1/4" TRS line/monitor outputs and a stereo 3.5mm headphone output, the Duet 3 can feed a set of monitors and your favorite headphones at the same time. The main and headphone outputs are independently addressable, giving the flexibility to route separate mixes to an artist in the studio, a performer onstage, or a house PA system.Creative Control Compact, portable design and intuitive user interface make the unit a perfect studio control center for a Mac computer, a PC sporting Windows 10, or an iOS deviceSingle large controller knob for easy access to level adjustmentsComplete Connections Connect two microphones, instruments, keyboards, or line inputsMonitor and mix in stereo through speakers and headphonesOnboard 3.5mm headphone port with 0-ohm outputBreakout cable provides two balanced mic/line inputs, two unbalanced 1/4" Hi-Z inputs, and two balanced 1/4" outputsIncludes USB-C and USB-C to USB-A cables for easy hookup to a variety of host devicesCustom docking station available separatelyHigh-Grade Conversion and Preamps World-class Apogee conversion and mic preampsPhantom power and up to 65 dB of gainSuitable for all dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphonesConverters designed to deliver unadulterated recordings and a stellar listening experienceBuilt-In Hardware DSP Internal hardware DSP for powering Apogee plug-ins without burdening your CPUOptional Symphony ECS Channel Strip plug-in brings a vintage-modeled 3-band EQ, Bob-Clearmountain-tuned compressor, and analog saturation from subtle gain to warm crushEliminates monitoring latency when recordingUSB-C Interface USB high-speed connectivityCompatible with macOS, iOS (via USB-C or separately available Apple Camera Connection Kit), and Windows 10Bus powered via USB-C connectionSecondary USB-C port for optional external power supplySolid Build Quality Designed in CaliforniaBuilt in the USALow-profile industrial designSturdy construction with aluminum base and Gorilla Glass top and knob coverBacklit encoder is bearing assisted for smooth operation Includes foam-lined nylon hard case for travel
