UAD at its finest

Awesome interface for the digital producer
Awesome I/O... I paired my x8 with an PCIe OCTO and can load up all the plugins I need.
With the Apollo x8p Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface, elevate your music production with elite audio conversion and cutting-edge technology. Designed for both Mac and Windows platforms, this interface is a powerhouse for music engineers, producers, and project studios, offering an unparalleled combination of features that include eight Unison-enabled mic preamps, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, and 7.1 surround sound monitoring.
Built on Universal Audio's 60-year legacy of audio excellence, the Apollo x8p stands out with its 18 x 22 interface configuration, providing superior A/D and D/A conversion. Experience a pristine signal path with 24-bit/192 kHz converters, delivering a dynamic range of 129 dB and a THD+N of -119 dB. This ensures your recordings are captured with the utmost clarity and detail, rivaling any high-end converter available.
The Apollo x8p's HEXA Core processing features six DSP chips, offering 50% more UAD plug-in processing power than previous models. This allows you to run more UAD plug-ins in real-time, whether you're tracking with Neve, Manley, or API channel strips or mixing with high UAD plug-in counts in your DAW. The result is a rich, three-dimensional analog sound that enhances your recordings with the warmth and depth of classic analog gear.
Unison technology is a standout feature, providing authentic emulations of legendary mic preamps from Neve, API, Manley, Helios, SSL, and Universal Audio. This hardware-software integration allows you to capture the exact tone and character of these iconic preamps, including their input impedance and gain stage nuances, directly through the Apollo interface.
Included with the Apollo x8p is the Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle, featuring the only authentic Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN, and Fairchild compressors, as well as the Unison-enabled UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ. Expand your sonic palette with access to the full UAD Powered Plug-In library, offering legendary vintage EQs, compressors, reverbs, and more, all at near-zero latency.
For those working in multimedia, the Apollo x8p supports comprehensive surround sound monitoring up to 7.1, making it ideal for audio production in video games, television, and web content. The selectable +24 dBu operation ensures seamless integration with professional mixing consoles and high-end audio equipment.
Expand your studio capabilities with the Apollo x8p's 18 x 22 simultaneous inputs/outputs and dual Thunderbolt 3 ports. This allows for easy integration with other Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo interfaces, enabling you to combine up to four Apollos and six UAD-2 devices, providing fast, high-bandwidth I/O and DSP as your studio grows. Experience the future of audio production with the Apollo x8p Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface.
