Today I review the Apogee Duet, a premium USB interface for Mac, iOS, and Windows (in the near future). This is not cheap, but it offers excellent A/D and D/A converters as well as +75dB of gain on the preamps! If you’re looking for a portable USB interface that gives you that studio sound, this is a great option!

Today I review the new budget mic from Behringer, the BX2020. Is it trying to copy the Audio Technica AT2020? We may never know. This is an affordable mic that has a quite sibilant top end and roll off in the low end. It also doesn’t do great at ambient noise rejection or plosive rejection. Oh did I mention that I have no idea if they’re trying to copy the AT2020?
