Otherwise, as far as recording and playback quality goes, the Apogee One sounds excellent, and virtually identical to the Duet for iPad & Mac, in listening tests over both headphones and active desktop studio monitors. It sounds clear and crisp you won't get enough low-end with it, but for scratch recordings of your jam sessions or on-the-spot takes for your latest inspiration, it's better than not just the internal mic on a Mac, but a low-end podcast mic as well. You also get an AC adapter, a dongle with XLR and 1/4-inch instrument inputs, a useful threaded microphone stand mount, and additional power adapter ends for plugging in the Apogee One in other countries. In addition to the Apogee One, the package includes three mini USB cables with 30-pin, Lightning, and USB connections for connecting to various iOS devices as well as Macs. The bottom edge contains a proprietary microphone and instrument input, which connects to an included breakout cable for XLR microphones and 1/4-inch instruments. Plus, the single mic preamp design still allows for simultaneous microphone and instrument recording, thanks to its additional 1/4-inch instrument input. The Apogee One is a smartly conceived, excellent-sounding solution for personal music listening and recording on both Macs and iOS devices. Related content Apogee One (for iPad & Mac) Review ›
