Universal Audio Apollo Twin X Quad Gen 2 Essentials+ 10 X 6 Thunderbolt Audio Interface

Now Ready for Your Studio: The Best Apollo Yet

Boasting next-generation elite-class AD/DA, Universal Audios Apollo Twin X QUAD Gen 2 yields the lowest distortion and widest dynamic range of any Apollo Twin to date. The Apollo Twin Xs powerful onboard plug-in processing provides you with award-winning emulations of tried-and-true studio classics that you can track through in real-time using UAs vaunted Unison preamp technology. Of course, you can also combine Apollo Twin Xs onboard DSP with your host computers native processing to create a powerhouse hybrid workflow. Meanwhile, youll be able to mix confidently in any room or through headphones using Apollo Monitor Correction (an optional add-on); plus, Bass Management optimizes your subwoofer for maximum low-frequency detail. Youll never miss a take again, courtesy of Apollo Twin Xs Auto-Gain feature, which sets your levels across multiple inputs. Full-featured monitor control with speaker switching and integrated talkback are also in play. Furthermore, the updated UAD Console app enables you to quickly set up low-latency cues, plug-in scenes, and immersive audio monitoring, in addition to lock-tight LUNA integration. You also get near-zero latency and ample expandability, thanks to Apollo Twin Xs ultra-fast Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. On the fence regarding a performance upgrade? Now is the time to make the jump Universal Audios Apollo is truly better than ever!

Powerful hybrid workflow

Apollo Twin Xs onboard plug-in processing enables you to track in real-time with Neve, Manley, or API channel strips or run high UAD plug-in counts while mixing in your DAW with zero strain on your host computer. Once youre able to inject guitars with the tube warmth of a Pultec EQ, add the musical limiting of an LA-2A to a vocal, and pump up drums with an 1176 or Fairchild 670, youll wonder how you got along without UAs industry-leading DSP-accelerated plug-ins. Whats more, since you can also run your UAD plug-ins natively, youll be able to combine Apollo Twin Xs integrated processing with your host computers native processing to create a robust hybrid workflow capable of tackling even larger sessions with even more complex plug-in chains.

Leading-edge Unison preamps

Apollo Twin Xs Unison preamp technology enables you to track in real-time through faithful emulations of classic gear from Neve, Manley, API, and dozens more, giving you the same rich analog textures used on the greatest recordings of all time. Unison goes far beyond traditional software modeling, however, in that it adjusts the preamp circuit itself, including parameters such as impedance, analog gain structure, and much more. When you adjust the Apollo Twin Xs preamp gain knob and physical controls, the plug-in adjusts the preamps behavior to match the target preamp. So youre not simply filtering your audio to approximate the character of a famous preamp your microphone is now interacting with Apollo Twin Xs input the same way it would behave with the modeled preamplifier.

Assistive Auto-Gain and seamless sub management

Recording with Apollo Twin X is easier than ever, thanks to its assistive Auto-Gain feature, which can be applied to multiple channels simultaneously to ensure proper levels all across the board. Best of all, you can deploy Auto-Gain on all the interfaces inputs microphone, line-level, and hi-Z alike and even with select Unison preamp models! Whether youre working in stereo or 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos, having a monitoring setup with well-tuned low-end is crucial to crafting mixes that translate. Thats where Apollo Twin Xs Bass Management feature comes in, leveraging a real-time DSP-driven Linkwitz-Riley crossover to integrate and optimize your subwoofer seamlessly.

Lock-tight LUNA integration

Apollo Twin X boasts ultra-tight hardware/software integration with Universal Audios free LUNA DAW software, enabling you to take control of your interfaces monitoring, talkback, and headphone systems, track and overdub with UAD DSP-accelerated plug-ins in real time, and benefit from full software-based control over Apollos Unison mic preamps, all without leaving your production software. LUNA also includes Accelerated Realtime Monitoring, which supplies fast analog-style tracking and overdubbing using Apollos onboard processing. You also get unlimited track counts, contextual editing and browsing, UAD and AU plug-in compatibility, a session auto-save function, and AAF importing. This software also supports LUNA extensions, which bake directly into LUNAs mixer no need to instantiate a bunch of plug-ins. LUNA is the closest youll come to an analog workflow in the software realm. It delivers spot-on analog sound, along with the creative immediacy of real-time processing.

Sensational plug-in bundle included!

UAD powered plug-ins have earned their reputation for being accurate emulations of analog audio equipment ever created.
