This device encapsulates Apogee's renowned sound quality and user-friendly design, providing musicians, producers, and songwriters with the tools to achieve exceptional audio, regardless of their location. Its sleek exterior, featuring an aluminium base and a Gorilla Glass top, balances durability with aesthetic appeal. The Duet 3 also incorporates built-in hardware DSP, offering the option to utilize the Symphony ECS Channel Strip plug-in for precise signal manipulation and enhancement, without overburdening your computer or iOS device.
Equipped with two exceptional microphone preamps, complete with phantom power and ample gain, this interface ensures robust amplification, even for low-output ribbons and classic dynamic microphones like the Shure SM7B.
