This high-quality audio interface, designed by the reputable Universal Audio, is a must-have for music producers and audio content creators.
The Apollo x4 Heritage Edition is more than just an audio interface; it's a comprehensive audio production system. It features a Thunderbolt 3 interface, renowned for its speed and reliability in transferring audio data.

This innovative device comes with a premium software suite of 10 award-winning UAD plug-ins, including the full collections from Teletronix, Fairchild, Pultec, Helios, and UA. These plug-ins have built UA's reputation for analog modeling over the past decade, offering vintage compressors, EQs, mic preamps, and reverb. This gives you the most accurate library of classic analog emulations anywhere, right out of the box.
The Apollo x4 Heritage Edition also boasts elite audio conversion and four Unison preamps, all conveniently located on your desktop. This allows musicians and producers to easily track, overdub, and mix larger projects with elite-class A/D and D/A conversion, four Unison-enabled preamps, and QUAD Core real-time UAD plug-in processing.
Built upon UA's 60-year heritage of audio craftsmanship, the Apollo x4 confidently outperforms everything in its class with 127 dB D/A dynamic range. It also includes a bundle of UAD analog emulation plug-ins and the LUNA Recording System, giving you a fully-stocked analog studio, right on your desktop.
The Apollo x4 Heritage Edition is not just a product; it's a professional audio solution that provides the genuine sound of Neve, Helios, API, and more. Its Unison technology nails 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.
In addition to its four onboard Unison-equipped preamps, the Apollo x4 offers two headphone outs and two Hi-Z instrument inputs, enhancing your collaborative process. With a total of four line outs, optical ADAT/SPDIF input and output, plus dedicated monitor remote controls and a built-in Talkback mic, the Apollo x4 can serve as the powerful centerpiece of your professional desktop studio.
