LAB REVIEW
Apogee has been a trusted manufacturer of high quality sound gear for over 20 years. They have also been one of the pioneers of high quality, portable sound. The Duet 2 is arguably the top portable interface on the market. In addition to winning multiple awards, the Duet 2 has been instrumental in the creation of numerous Grammy winning recordings.
Breaking it down to simplified terms, the Duet 2 offers the highest quality sound you'll find in this price range. Taking inspiration and technology from Apogee's larger (and much more expensive) studio gear, the Duet offers a powerful set of specs and features, all augmented by the Maestro software (controls settings, included).
Lastly for digital DJs, the Duet 2 can work as a high-quality interface. The independent headphone output allows you to preview tracks in your headphones while playing another one over the main output. This feature is especially useful for those DJs using software on your computer to DJ, or DJs using a controller without a built-in interface.
