Picked up the Apogee Ensemble for use as part of a Logic Studio system. Impressive in every way - particularly sound quality and integration with Apple H/W and S/W. The mic pres are excellent, balanced inserts are icing on the cake. Routing and phone outputs sound clean with loads of headroom. A/D converters are outstanding, as one would expect from Apogee. All in all, a fantastic product at a fair price.

Nothing new to say about the Apogee Ensemble that's not already been said in many audio mags. It's sounds brilliant and interfaces with flawlessly with my setup.

I already have the Duet for when I'm on the road. The Ensemble is for my home setup.I love it.
