iRig Pro Duo vs. Apogee One
Apogee is selling a refurbished One for $30 more than the cost of an iRig Pro Duo. For simplified home recording or out in the park recording, both seem to pretty similarly cover the bases. Differences seem to be Apogee has better physical construction, iRig has MIDI input, iRig has two balanced inputs, but Apogee has higher fidelity electronics and onboard microphone. At this price is there a strong winner? I am wondering if the flexibility of having the microphone might make the Apogee preferred.
Comments
Get the Apogee for the professional grade AD/DA. Thr built-in omni condenser is no Neumann but it's pretty decent.
Thanks. I saw on another thread you were researching cost-is-no-object USB interface for iPad and think you said you owned the Duet. It's probably worth the money to have the higher quality, plus the microphone could be really convenient.
I've had ups and downs, but at the end of the day I don't think there is anything better than Apogee when it comes to iOS audio interfaces.
Definitely the apogee
even though it's not sold as an IOS interface the Audient ID22 is a 1st class device at least in the same league as the Duet.
It's class compliant and all inputs/outputs show up under IOS.
Latency can be set very low to monitor through app effects, so the loss of the onboard mixer (pure audio, no fx) isn't a big deal.
You need a Mac or PC to configure the latter and then plug it to a CCK without power switching to use it, which I did for some time. But in the end I just got along with the power-up default state because I use software effects anyway.
Build quality is exceptional (I've opened it for curiosity) with a sophisticated power supply design (very low noise).
The instrument input isn't far (if at all) away from devices like the Avalon U5.
@Telefunky thanks, I'll check it out as well.
Is that Apogee the iOS compatible version? They also concurrently sell the older version requires a special cable and a USB battery to work with iOS. If it is the compatible version I'd go with the Apogee. You can also use it as a DAC.
I ended up buying the iOS/Mac version of the Apogee, which is open box but otherwise identical to the new product.
