The Apogee Duet 3 continues the legacy that began in 2007 when the original Duet redefined home studio recording with its groundbreaking combination of professional sound quality and portable design. This latest iteration brings next-generation performance to an ultra-low profile aluminium body, featuring best-in-class AD/DA conversion and world-class preamps that maintain Apogee's reputation for unmatched audio fidelity. The sleek design incorporates a precision balanced backlit knob and scratch-resistant top, making it as durable as it is elegant for both studio and mobile recording applications.
At the heart of the Duet 3's recording capabilities are two exceptional preamps offering up to 65dB of gain with 48V phantom power, engineered to capture even the most demanding microphones with minimal noise and distortion. The 2x4 USB Type-C interface provides comprehensive connectivity through its breakout cable system, including two ¼” instrument inputs, two mic/line inputs, balanced outputs, and a zero-ohm headphone output. Bus-powered operation keeps setup simple, with optional external power available through the second USB Type-C port when needed.
The inclusion of on-board hardware DSP sets the Duet 3 apart, powering the Symphony ECS Channel Strip for zero-latency recording with professional effects processing. These presets, tuned by legendary mixer Bob Clearmountain, allow musicians and producers to achieve professional recording sounds instantly without the distracting delays that can compromise performance. Compatible with both macOS and Windows 10 systems, the Duet 3 comes complete with a travel case and optional Duet Dock accessory for enhanced desktop ergonomics.
