∞ Apogee unveils the Duet 2

Written by

High-end audio company Apogee released a video showing off its newest product, the Duet 2.

[ad#Google Adsense 300x250 in story]Apogee makes audio gear that’s used in studios and live performances by some of the biggest names in the business. However, with products like the Duet 2, you get the quality of Apogee in your home studio.

The Duet 2 features two combination mic/instrument connectors (XLR and 1/4-inch) built into a single connector and two balanced 1/4-inch connectors for speakers.

Also in the Duet 2 are completely redesigned mic preamps and converters; 24-bit/192kHz recording; full color OLED display; configurable touch pads; Maestro 2 software; Breakout box (sold separately); and a Soft Limit, among other things.

The Duet 2 costs $595 and will be available sometime this month.

    I would really, really like to hear first hand reports/reviews on this. Was very close to pulling the trigger on the Duet and then Apogee releases the Duet 2.

    Apogee keep claiming “much improved” pres, and the Duet already had state-of-the-art pres. How much better can you get than that? To get better than the original Duet, you had to step up to something like the Metric Halo ULN-2.

    Jim, will you be getting a hold of one of these?

      Hey Jay, yes Apogee is sending one out for me to have a look at.

      I love my Duet, so I can’t wait to see what this has to offer.
