UAD at its finest

Awesome interface for the digital producer

By James H.

Awesome I/O... I paired my x8 with an PCIe OCTO and can load up all the plugins I need.

Be empowered to create professional-grade audio with the Apollo Twin X Heritage Edition Desktop 10x6 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface. This device is designed for both Mac and Windows users, offering elite-class A/D and D/A conversion, two Unison-enabled preamps, and QUAD Core real-time UAD plug-in processing.

Built on Universal Audio's 60-year legacy of superior audio craftsmanship, the Apollo Twin X outshines its competitors with a 127 dB D/A dynamic range. It comes with a bundle of UAD analog emulation plug-ins and the LUNA Recording System, transforming your desktop into a fully-equipped analog studio.

The Apollo Twin X features two Unison-enabled mic preamps, allowing you to track through precise mic preamp emulations from renowned brands like Neve, Helios, API, Manley, and Universal Audio. Thanks to Unison technology, you can capture the tone of these sought-after tube and solid-state mic pres, including their input impedance, gain stage "sweet spots," and the component-level circuit behaviors of the original hardware.

The Apollo Twin X's audio conversion has been redesigned by UA engineers to deliver a striking 127 dB dynamic range and -117 dB THD+N, resulting in a spacious, organic sound that rivals dedicated high-end converters. This makes the Apollo Twin X the choice of new-school professionals, used to record landmark albums by artists like Kendrick Lamar, Chris Stapleton, Arcade Fire, and Post Malone.

Right out of the box, the Apollo Twin X offers a suite of incredible analog emulation plug-ins, including the world's only authentic Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN, Pultec EQs, and the UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ. These Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins set the standard for all other hardware emulation plug-ins.

The Apollo Twin X also includes Unison technology on its front panel instrument input, providing dead-on emulations of guitar and bass amps like the Fender '55 Tweed Deluxe, Marshall Plexi Super Lead 1959, and the Ampeg B-15N Bass Amplifier.

With its two onboard Unison-equipped preamps, two line outs, and optical ADAT/SPDIF input, plus dedicated monitor remote controls and a built-in Talkback mic, the Apollo Twin X provides the I/O you need for professional tracks and mixes.

The Apollo Twin X Heritage Edition comes with 5 premium UAD titles, including complete plug-in Collections of our award-winning Teletronix and UA 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, UA 610 mic preamps, and more. This curated bundle of top UAD plug-ins shapes world-class recordings and injects rich analog warmth into your mixes.

The Apollo Twin X Heritage Edition delivers a premium software suite of 5 or 10 award-winning UAD plug-in titles, including the full Collections from Teletronix, Fairchild, Pultec, Helios, and UA. These are the same UAD plug-ins that built UA's reputation for analog modeling over the past decade, providing the most accurate library of classic analog emulations anywhere, right out of the box.

In conclusion, the Apollo Twin X Heritage Edition Desktop 10x6 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface is a powerful tool for any musician or producer, offering a range of features and capabilities that make it a standout choice in its class.
