The Duet 3, heir to a mobile studio benchmark
With the "Duet 3," Apogee delivers the third generation of an interface that has become iconic among mobile creators. It modernizes the original concept with an ultra-slim Gorilla Glass and aluminum chassis, updated converters, and the addition of hardware DSP for smooth recording with effects. It retains the DNA of the range: premium sound in an elegant and minimalist format.
For demanding creators, in the studio or on the go
The Duet 3 is aimed at singers, beatmakers, guitarists, podcasters, and streamers who want flawless takes without the bulk. Powered via USB-C bus, it supports sessions on Mac or PC, from home studios to shoots, while remaining ready to integrate into a fixed setup via the optional Duet Dock accessory.
Features designed to speed up your workflow
High-end preamps and conversion
The transparent preamps and Apogee conversion provide a precise stereo image, clear transients, and low noise floor, ideal for vocals, guitars, and synths. The dynamics and clarity are immediately noticeable during monitoring.
Hardware DSP and zero-latency recording
The onboard DSP allows use of the "Symphony ECS Channel Strip" (sold separately) during tracking to shape your sound without CPU load and with imperceptible latency. Perfect for inspiring the performer and saving time during mixing.
Ultra-slim design and comprehensive connectivity
The Gorilla Glass/aluminum enclosure houses a large central encoder and a compact form factor that easily slips into a pouch. Two instrument inputs, two mic/line inputs, balanced outputs, and a headphone output cover common recording scenarios.
