Duet is a two channel audio FireWire interface designed specifically for Apple computers. Its controls are integrated directly to Logic Pro, Soundtrack Pro and Garage Band by Apple.
Duet features two-channel input and output with the renowned quality of Apogee conversion. Two high quality microphone preamps with 75dB gain and two unbalanced high impedance instrument inputs are inputs. The two output channels are available via connectors 6.35 mm jack for powered speakers and a headphone jack.
-Duet is designed to nomadism and ease of use. Its chassis is ultra compact discreet in the workspace and its bus-powered FireWire allows you to make professional recordings wherever you are.
The multi-controller allows both to select the input sources or output gain or adjust volume.
Duet can also control MIDI devices with a simple setting in Apogee's Maestro software application.
Features and Specifications:
Two-channel audio inputs and outputs of 24-bit/96kHz professional
-Two balanced XLR inputs with 48V phantom power selectable on each input
-Two unbalanced high impedance instrument inputs
A stereo headphone output-high level
-Two-10dBV unbalanced line outputs for powered speakers
Multi-control button for volume control, input gain control and assignable MIDI
Multi-segment LED display of input levels and output
FireWire 400-compatible Mac OS X Core Audio
-Integration and Control in Garage Band, Logic Pro, Logic Express and Final Cut Studio (Soundtrack Pro) Apple
-Compatible with any Core Audio applications
Apogee Maestro software, for advanced control and low latency mixing
UTILIZATION
Yes, definitely no problem as long as inquiring about the accounting of this product.
This sound card, even if it is used more or less effectively with all software, is designed to work with Logic Pro or Logic Studio last generation and especially on a platform MAC OSX!
The map shows excellent quality and easy to use with this configuration.
It's virtually plug 'n play! Just a quick install is go!
And especially the advantage of being self powered from the firewire port. Useful for travel or just to save space and functionality with the highest quality in its highest level for this price!
GETTING STARTED
Extremely easy. You plug in and it works.
The parameters of the card via its driver and software LOGIC Maestro, simple and effective!
Easy to carry, I use it as a sound card for travel or to come in the studio.
Apogee converters are in my opinion the best on the market! Nothing to do with the MBOX, DIGI cards or other times much more expensive ... Is that good. MOTU one can possibly compete with these converters and more ... matter of taste ...
Of course, for this award and for the quality, this card is "limited" in input / output (two XLR, 2 Jack)
But what is asked is just the minimum to the maximum quality.
Robust materials and careful design.
I am completely satisfied. It simplifies my life.
OVERALL OPINION
What can I say except that beyond the sound is, for this class of materials, exceptional, distribution is also more than satisfactory. It is clear and warm.
In short, the good, the rest is up to our ideas.
