Get It!

"...You're gonna hear things in your music that you never paid attention to before. Its preamps are currently driving a Royer 101 for me and my results are astounding... I've heard the shootouts on Myteks, Prisms, Lavry's, etc. and this 600 dollar interface can stand toe to toe with them. You will NOT be dissapointed in sound quality... This unit will be honest, and you will make mixes (with the right ears), that compete with the radio all day. "

Duet 2 is a Masterpiece

"iTunes never sounded like this before. Simply Blown away. Works great with Lion as well. You will not be disappointed, thats a given. Look no further. Buy It."

Best interface on the market for the money

"Duet 2 is far better than any other interface even close to this in price range. Don't think about getting this, GET IT! You won't be disappointed. Far better than mbox of any generation. Apogee converters are top class in the industry. The preamps are amazing for anything from voiceovers to any sort of music. I own this and it was worth every penny. Even just using this to listen to music in iTunes is like HD for your ears."

"If you haven’t heard of Apogee, then you haven’t been in the audio business; they’ve been setting standards in digital audio quality, particularly conversion, for 25 years. With Duet, they brought that expertise to a smaller, more prosumer format—Duet 2 continues that tradition."

Duet 2 review by GeekBeat.TV  

GeekBeat TV

"Inside the packaging, you’ll find a beautiful piece of equipment. It fits right in with your Mac set-up and any other professional equipment you may have. One other thing we noticed was how simple the device is to use. Install some software and it works right out of the box! Apogee earns bonus points because for such high-end equipment, it doesn’t get any more simple than this!"

"If you're serious about your audio work, but don't need a whole rack of top-line conversion in your home or project studio, the Duet 2 should be one of the first options you consider."

The Loop

"You can, without a doubt, hear the difference when using the Duet over other audio interfaces. The signal is so clean and clear from the Duet that I often have to reconfigure my amp software to account for the signal. I have Apogee gear that’s years old and still works and sounds amazing. That’s what you can count on with the Duet 2."

"However, the most notable update is the audio quality of Duet 2 which is a considerable improvement over its
predecessor, thanks to redesigned microphone preamps and updated converters too. It’s worth noting that few of Duet’s rivals offer audio I/O with this quality."

Duet 2 review by Audio Fanzine  

Audiofanzine

"Among high-end mobile interfaces, the Apogee Duet 2 has some important advantages against competitors, like its looks, the manufacturing quality, the OLED display, the soft limiter, and the quality of the preamps and converters"

"If you heard the original Duet and thought it sounded great, then you’ll be even more impressed with how Duet2 sounds. After spending a few days with the unit, I had nothing but smiles. Duet2 is a winner in my book and hats off to the folks at Apogee in Santa Monica, Calif.”"

Australia Audio Technology

"Kicking the test drive off I used the Duet 2 on some voice recordings and immediately there seemed to be a vast sonic improvement over the Duet. Using a variety of different microphones the midrange of the Duet 2 remained detailed across the board, making the original Duet preamps seem a little ‘closed in’ by comparison."

"The Duet 2 is one of the easiest interfaces to operate, making it the perfect solution for home recording enthusiasts looking for a portable interface with amazing clarity. The built-in LED display and multifunction knob make controlling your inputs and outputs a breeze, without ever needing to open the included Apogee Maestro software."

"The inputs are very quiet and we found the latency to be both incredibly low and, at the same time, rock-solid
- and by this we mean NO moments of dropout (remember: we were doing all of this on a laptop)."
