Apogee Quartet Overview w/ Miles Walker

The Apogee Quartet is a 4 in and 6 out audio interface built specifically for Mac computers and even works on your iOS devices like your iPad and iPhone. While the Quartet does have a large price tag, you are getting a lot of features that go beyond just a standard audio interface. Instead of just showing you all the Quartet has to offer, we decided to take it to Parhelion studios, put it in the hands of avid Apogee user Miles Walker, and give it a test drive. He not only takes us through the features in the video but also demos the sound of the mic preamps as well as the iOS connectivity.

Apogee MiC Overview

The Apogee MiC is a portable cardioid condenser microphone that works with iOS devices as well as Mac (and only Mac) computers. It’s incredibly easy to use, the sound quality is great, and it’s so small you could throw it into your guitar case or even in your back pocket. Just like its cousin, the Apogee Jam, it has some built-in features that are very handy.

Apogee Duet 2 Overview

The Duet 2 by Apogee is a portable audio interface renowned for its sound quality. Hook it up to your Mac, and you’ve got the ability to make a professional recording anywhere you can take your computer. And not only does it offer pristine sound, but also advanced features that you don’t see on other interfaces in its range.

When Jeff dropped by our production studio to give me the Apogee Duet 2 for review, he couldn’t stop raving about the digital-to-analog converters in the unit. A while back, he decided he wanted to sweeten his digitally mastered tracks by dumping them onto tape, and he got a 1st generation Duet to make that conversion happen. He only had good things to say about the results. I was excited to get the new and improved Duet 2 fired up for inspection. The sound was amazing. Jeff was impressed. The sound …
