A beautiful and noble design. What else this classic has to offer
The Apogee Duet has been on the market for 14 years now and it's hard to imagine the world of audio interfaces without it. In 2007 the first Duet interface was introduced and in 2013 the second generation followed. The Apogee Duet 3 has other advantages besides its stunning flat and modern design.
Accordingly, this desktop interface has a body made of aluminium and a surface made of Gorilla Glass. Via a breakout cable, the Apogee Duet 3 offers four inputs and two outputs with Apogee's high-quality AD/DA conversion. A zero headphone output is also provided.
Microphone preamp
The two Preamps provide up to 60 dB of gain and 48-volt phantom power. This allows for clean recordings without noise at maximum preamplification.
Hardware DSP for ECS Channel Strip
Tuned by mixing legend Bob Clearmountain, Symphony ECS Channel Strip* features EQ, compression, and saturation controls that let you tweak channel processing for recording vocals or acoustic instruments. Choose from numerous Clearmountain-created presets and record latency-free via Duet's internal DSP. *Native version of Symphony ECS Channel Strip plug-in sold separately.
Apogee Control 2 Software
Apogee Control software gives you complete control over all functions and features of Duet including the effects of Symphony ECS Channel Strip running on Duet's hardware DSP. Apogee Control 2 is shared between all Apogee products and allows Apogee support and development to quickly respond to future macOS as well as Windows operating system updates, ensuring compatibility with your workstation.

Ideal complement for Apogee Duet 3
The standard scope of delivery of the Apogee Duet 3 includes a breakout cable. With frequent use, it is often only a matter of time before a cable break occurs at one point. The Docking Station Dock for the Duet 3 Interface is the remedy. Two balanced XLR, two unbalanced instrument inputs and two 6.3 jack outputs provide order and overview. In addition, the power supply can also be optionally managed via the USB-C port. Last but not least, thanks to the headphone output, nothing stands in the way of direct monitoring.
Apogee Pultec Bundle: EQP-1A + MEQ-5
In collaboration with Steve Jackson from Pulse Techniques, two unique plug-ins have been developed, modelled after modern Pultec Hardware. When you buy this bundle you get the EQP-1A and MEQ-5 - both reliable and impressive sounding software Equalizer with which you can give your audio signals that certain something! So despite the work "in-the-box" you get an analogue touch that is worth listening to.
