Two balanced, line-level analog outputs for speakers allow you to monitor and mix with maximum sonic depth and dimension. In addition, it has a dedicated zero-ohm output for headphones.
Clean and Accurate Preamp
One of the most important components for high-quality recording is the preamp, and the Apogee Duet's preamp is world-class. With up to 60dB of gain and 48V phantom power, it can capture any audio source cleanly and accurately, even the most demanding microphones. Apogee's meticulous engineering allows it to increase gain while still minimizing noise and distortion.
Plug-ins available for onboard DSP
To achieve the best performance, you need to record inspiring sounds quickly and easily. But nothing bothers you more than latency when recording, and Duet's built-in DSP for Apogee FX processing accurately captures the incoming sound and delivers excellent sound while eliminating the latency that can occur when recording.

Sound, and beautifully designed
At Apogee, we believe that sound quality is as important as design. Since the audio interface is the heart of the studio, the visual and usability of the design have a significant impact on the creation of a work of art. In addition, Duet's reliable control knobs allow you to adjust monitor levels and mic preamp gain and navigate through functions with stability.
In addition, the knobs are underlit in purple to give the Duet a unique look into the world of Duet. Ergonomically designed for easy operation on the desktop, the low-profile body features scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass for a modern look and solid protection.
The new Duet Breakout cable features a new connector shape and longer reach. All devices can be connected yet stored outside the desk, creating a clean and uncluttered workspace.
Duet Dock The Ultimate Duet Desktop Experience
The Duet series has set the standard for on-the-go music production and recording with its tiny enclosure and flexible breakout cables. But when working in the studio, we recommend the all-new Duet Dock (sold separately), which positions Duet at an ideal angle for quick parameter adjustments and visibility of meters and functions. In addition, the Duet Dock's rear panel connectors are neatly arranged with the necessary terminals for easy Duet connection and cable organization.
