A Full Suite of Classic Analog Processing Onboard This lets you run more UAD plug-ins, whether you’re tracking in real time with channel strips from Neve, Manley, or API, or running high UAD plug-in counts when mixing in your DAW.įrom the tube warmth of Pultec EQs on guitars to the musical tube limiting of the LA-2A on vocals, or the pump of a genuine 1176 or Fairchild 670 tube compressor on drums, your recordings will take a giant leap forward with a rich, three-dimensional analog sound that UAD plug‑ins provide. Realtime UAD HEXA Core ProcessingĪpollo x16 features new HEXA Core processing, with six DSP chips and 50% more UAD plug-in processing power than previous Apollos. With 133 dB dynamic range and THD+N of -129 dB, the Apollo x16’s open, natural sound quality bests every interface in its class - regardless of price - and is the perfect starting point for applying UAD processing. This translates into pure, artifact-free recordings and solid stereo imaging you can trust.

The Apollo X series also introduces new Dual-Crystal clocking - featuring dedicated crystals for 44.1/88.2/176.4k and 48/96/192k sample rates - resulting in stunningly low jitter, measured at less than 10 picoseconds. To improve on the previous generation Apollo interface’s class-leading audio conversion, UA engineers obsessively auditioned the latest A/D and D/A converters - ultimately pairing elite-class 24-bit/192 kHz converters with all-new analog circuitry for an ultra-pristine signal path. With thousands of chart-topping songs and hundreds of Grammy-winning albums under their belt, Apollo interfaces are no strangers to tracking stellar-sounding records.
