Advanced new features. Better performance. Better sound quality. 
Apogee's Duet is the most respected portable audio interface ever. Along
 with receiving many industry awards, Duet has also been instrumental in
 the creation of numerous GRAMMY winning records. While others have been
 trying to emulate its sound quality, ease of use and innovative design,
 Apogee has been busy making an even better Duet. Apogee Duet 2
 builds on the incredible success of its predecessor by incorporating 
customer feedback, adding advanced new features and delivering even 
better sound quality than the original.

incredible detail and dimension allowing you to put the finishing

Better sound quality. A difference you will hear. 
Using the very latest technology and drawing upon the experience of 
developing Apogee’s new flagship audio interface, Symphony I/O, Apogee 
engineers rebuilt Duet to achieve a difference you can hear. 
 
From the mic preamps to the AD/DA converters, Duet 2 offers the best of 
everything Apogee, allowing you to capture your audio with even more 
clarity and dimension than the original Duet. This is professional sound
 quality you can take anywhere. 
 
Smooth, detailed, and world class mic preamps 
The Duet 2 mic preamps feature a new design, all new components and 
seamless click-free transitions as the gain increases and decreases 
throughout the incredible range of 0-75dB. This unprecedented feature 
allows you to dial in the perfect level while delivering ultra-low noise
 and smooth, crisp detail. Most importantly, the Duet 2 mic preamps are 
optimized for any sound source, so no matter what you are recording 
you’ll capture every detail. 
 
Pristine, next generation AD/DA converters 
Much like the mic preamps, the Duet 2 AD/DA converters are an all-new 
design and deliver the purest recordings and best listening experience 
possible. This totally new design takes the personal studio to the next 
level with state-of-the-art components and next-generation conversion. 
 
Full Color OLED Display 
New to Duet 2 is a full color OLED display. This high resolution screen 
is the main control center for Duet 2, delivering visual feedback for 
multiple functions including metering, numeric value for input and 
output levels, input grouping, and phase, muting, phantom power and Soft
 Limit indication. With this display you know the status of any input 
and output at any given moment without having to refer to Maestro or 
your recording software. 
 
Configurable Touch Pads 
Duet 2 also introduces configurable touch pads. The 2 touch pads, 
located on either side of the encoder knob, allow you to quickly access 
output functions such as “Mute Outputs”, “Dim Outputs”, “Sum to Mono” or
 “Toggle Headphone Source”. Each are assignable using a drop-down menu 
within Apogee’s new Maestro 2. This unique feature allows you to select 
the function you want and access it directly from Duet 2 without having 
to look at software. 
 
Redesigned Breakout Cable 
Duet 2’s new breakout cable is greatly streamlined with 2 combination 
mic/instrument connectors (XLR and 1/4”) built into a single connector 
and 2 balanced 1/4” connectors for speakers. The elegant single 
cable-to-junction design allows for easy cable management and the 
locking connection to Duet 2 is robust and stylish. 
 
Made for the Mac, Core Audio compatible 
Designed exclusively for the Mac and made for GarageBand and Logic, Duet
 2 is the perfect centerpiece for any personal, Mac-based studio. Duet 2
 is also Core Audio compatible making it ideal for other music creation 
apps like Pro Tools, Ableton Live and Cubase. 
 
Maestro 2 
Duet 2 not only benefits from Symphony I/O’s sound quality development, 
it has been integrated into the completely redesigned Maestro 2 as well.
 This full version update features a new look and familiar single 
window, multiple tab interface for quick access to all device and system
 settings. 
 
It also includes touch pad assignment, Soft Limit selection, output 
assignments, dim and mute output selection, sample rate selection and an
 improved low latency mixer. Now all Duet 2 parameters and functions are
 packaged into a single window design for the most streamlined and 
user-friendly experience. 
 
Soft Limit 
An Apogee technology first introduced in 1992 on Apogee’s AD-500 
converter, Soft Limit can be heard on countless platinum selling records
 around the world. Once a technology exclusively reserved for Apogee’s 
most advanced audio converters, Soft Limit is now available in Duet. 
This superior analog design prevents the digital clipping that causes 
distortion by instantaneously rounding off transient peaks before they 
hit the analog-to-digital converter. Soft Limit allows several more 
decibels of apparent level to be recorded while subtly providing an 
analog-like warmth to the sound.

Apogee Symphony 64 is a 64 channel, 24bit/192kHz PCI Express
 card made to interface Apogee’s X-Series and Rosetta Series converters 
directly to Apple’s Mac Pro creating The Symphony System.
 
The Symphony System excels on several levels; the award-winning sound 
quality of Apogee’s AD&DA Converters, the groundbreaking power of 
Apple’s Mac Pro, and the stability and ultra low latency performance of 
the Symphony 64 card. This combination provides a flexible, stable, 
high-end solution for customers seeking a workstation compatible with 
any Core Audio application. 
 
Symphony 64 features Extended Audio Routing with VBus and SBus 
technology. VBus allows users to route demanding, stand-alone software 
instruments, directly between Core Audio based applications, instead of 
running them as plug-ins. Symphony’s SBus doubles the DSP power of The 
Symphony System by facilitating the communication of digital audio 
between Symphony equipped Macs with a single cable. Now it is possible 
to route audio to a second computer and back again for plug-in 
processing, sample libraries, soft-synth players, and session transfers 
from one Core Audio application to another.

Features
<ul><li>64 channels of 24-bit 192kHz Digital I/O per card
</li><li>Near zero latency performance
</li><li>Connects directly to Apogee’s X-Series and Rosetta Series converters via the X-Symphony option card
</li><li>Apogee’s VBus - virtual routing within a Core Audio application or between multiple applications.
</li><li>Apogee’s SBus - 32 channel, 192kHz digital audio network between two Mac computers
</li><li>Apogee’s Maestro Software for advanced control and routing
</li><li>Compatibility with any Core Audio application
</li><li>Unit includes 3 meter apogee symphony cable
