We got a special message from Apogee regarding Ensemble, Duet and FireWire 800 compatibility with Apple’s new MacBook Pro.
With Apple’s recent notebook announcements, Apogee would like to reassure its current and future customers of compatibility between new FireWire 800-equipped MacBook Pros and Apogee’s Ensemble and Duet FireWire audio interfaces.
Connection between a “late-2008” MacBook Pro and Ensemble or Duet is made with a commonly available FW800 to FW400 adaptor or cable. The connection of Ensemble or Duet to a FW800 port is fully supported and in no way alters the performance of the interface.
