Apogee Duet 2

The Apogee Duet 2 is a compact and portable audio interface for Macs and iPads. Designed to achieve maximal sound quality alongside optimal efficiency, the interface boasts pristine AD/DA conversion, two microphone preamps, USB MIDI connectivity, and ESS Sabre32 DAC technology. Combined, these features afford a formidable, low latency performance beloved by some of the world’s most prominent engineers and producers. Duet’s combination inputs allow for the connection of just about any line-level source, including microphones, keyboards, guitars, external preamps, or mixing consoles. Additionally, the interface features two 1/4” balanced outputs for speaker or outboard connectivity, and an independent 1/4” headphone output. 

Users who purchased Duet new after April 4, 2016 can register their product in order to receive a code for 25% off an individual plug-in, or 35% off any Waves plug-in bundle alongside a $100 voucher for a future Waves purchase. This benefit can be combined with specific discounts and special deals offered from Waves. However, there are a few restrictions. First, the voucher is only redeemable up to 50% of the price for any plug-in bundle or upgrade, or for up to 25% against the price of any single plug-in. The voucher cannot be used with multiple discounts, and can only be used for a single order. Further, vouchers must be used individually, they cannot be combined.
