Apogee Duet 3 2x4 USB-C Audio Interface

The Apogee Duet 3 is a 2x4 USB-C audio interface with two mic preamps, hardware DSP for the Symphony ECS Channel Strip, and a Gorilla Glass top panel with a touch-sensitive control surface. It is bus powered and ships with a breakout cable and a hard travel case, so a full recording setup fits in a laptop bag.

Preamps and Onboard DSP

Two mic preamps deliver up to 65 dB of gain for condenser, dynamic, and ribbon microphones, and the instrument inputs handle guitar and bass directly. Onboard DSP runs the Symphony ECS Channel Strip so EQ, compression, and saturation can be monitored or recorded without any plug-in latency or CPU load on the host.
