Description: We couple dual pairs of ${\cal N}{=}\,8$ superconformal mechanics with conical targets of dimension $d$ and~$8{-}d$. The superconformal coupling generates an oscillator-type potential on each of the two target factors, with a frequency depending on the respective dual coordinates. In the case of the inhomogeneous (3,8,5) model, which entails a monopole background, it is necessary to add an extra supermultiplet of constants for half of the supersymmetry. The ${\cal N}{=}\,4$ analog, joining an inhomogeneous (1,4,3) with a (3,4,1) multiplet, is also analyzed in detail.
