General

As its name suggests, the stylish Apogee Quartet USB audio interface for iPad and Mac is the bigger brother of the Duet and delivers a double dose when it comes to recording ease. With four audio inputs and top-quality recording, you are assured of fantastic results. Precision VU meters displayed on two sharp OLED screens give you a clear overview during recording. In combination with the large, accurate dial, operation is intuitive and easy. The interface comes with a huge discount on the popular Wave Gold Plugin bundle, which consists of 35 high-quality audio plugins.

Quartet audio interface: user-friendly

During each step in the recording process, you'll know exactly where you are musically thanks to the practical visual and auditory aids. Per channel, it offers a clear overview on the displays. On the side of the Apogee Quartet is a headphone socket for monitoring purposes. Despite the number of possibilities the Quartet offers, its beautiful design has remained very compact. As such, you'll have no problem finding a suitable place in your studio or recording space for the Apogee Quartet USB audio interface.

Extreem goede pre amps voor de mic ingangen en zeer goede klok en DA/AD conversie. Buiten dat is de aandacht aan het uiterlijk en de bouwkwaliteit dik in orde. Voor deze prijs is de Quartet een topper. Het lijkt veel geld maar betaald zich dubbel en dwars terug!
