Full Color interactive OLED Display
Duet's OLED display provides full color visual feedback
and metering.
Multi-function Controller Knob
Duet’s multi-function controller knob allows you to easily
switch between Inputs and Outputs as well as adjust
their levels.
User Assignable Touchpads
Duet's two assignable touchpads can be assigned to
control many of Duet's settings and parameters. Use
them to setup advanced muting functions when
recording yourself or to toggle between outputs.
1/4” Stereo Headphone Output
Duet includes a 1/4” stereo headphone output that is
separate and independently controlled from the stereo
speaker line outputs.
MIDI
Duet provides a single USB MIDI connection for your
CoreMIDI compatible keyboard, synth, or DJ controller.
This eliminates the need for an external MIDI interface
and promotes an all-in-one music creation solution
where Duet and Maestro manage all audio and MIDI. On
iPad, Duet’s MIDI connection allows both Duet and a
keyboard or DJ controller to be connected at the same
time to the iPad’s single 30-pin dock port.
Analog In and Out
This port is for connecting Duet’s breakout cable. The
breakout cable includes 2 combination mic/instrument
connectors (XLR and 1/4” built into a single connector)
and 2 balanced 1/4” connectors for speakers. The
elegant single cable-to-junction design allows for easy
cable management and the locking connection to Duet
is robust and stylish.

DC Power
Duet is easily powered by any available USB port on
your Mac in most applications. However there may be
scenarios where connecting the external AC power
adaptor is preferred or required.
There are two factors contributing to increased
power consumption:
•Output volume into low impedance headphones
•Phantom power for condenser mics.
This will appear on the OLED if the external
power is necessary with Mac
If you have Duet set at a reasonable volume, you are
not drawing a significant amount of power over the
USB bus and will be able to connect any microphones
that require phantom power. When you are using low
impedance headphones and your volume is very high,
you are drawing more power over the USB bus and
may need the AC adaptor to use power hungry
condenser mics.
When connected to iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone, the
DC power supply for Duet MUST be used. Duet will
charge your iPad while you record so your work will
not be interrupted.
USB
Duet includes a single connection with two included
cables, providing connectivity to either a USB port on
your Mac or to a 30-pin connection on your iPad/iOS
device. Connection to iOS devices with Apple’s
Lightning connector requires Apple’s Lightning to 30-
pin adapter. Sold separately.
