I rebought the Duo from Best Buy after it crashed out immediately after buying one from MicroCenter (came missing a cord). For first-time users, do the start-up firmware update directly from the Duo on wifi and not through your laptop/app. Since doing it correctly the second time from my BestBuy purchase, the Duo has been great. Using it for a two-podcast setup. Watched a YouTube video to set it up with the rodecaster mics and the audio is very clean and blocks out outdoor sounds (in a regular non-sound-proof room). It is small and portable in comparison to other brands. Unless you need more XLR inputs, I highly recommend the Duo over the Pro from Rode. Love that it has a regular headphone jack in the front so I could monitor without buying separate headphones with different jacks on the back.

Great to use if you really know what you are doing with audio. Myself personally it was a huge learning curve for me but once I got a crash course on how to intergrate it with a dual pc setup for streaming it is super nice to have. I do wish that it had some other capabilities to help "separate" more of the audio channels but can't complain.

Incredible upgrade over the original! I use this for my podcast and it has been an impressive piece of gear. The sound is great, the system is great, no complaints. I really like the upgraded amps, I can power an SM7B without a cloud lifter. The angled, upgraded screen is a pretty nice feature too.
