UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION offers users top-of-the-line A/D and D/A conversion, two Unison preamps, integration with LUNA Recording System, and DUO or QUAD core real-time processing for UAD plugins, all in an elegant Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for Mac and Windows.
Its quality is based on Universal Audio's 60 years of professional heritage in the audio world. UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION effortlessly outperforms all other similar interfaces, thanks to its 127 dB D/A dynamic range and famous UAD analog emulation plugins, putting a comprehensive analog studio "in the computer" in the hands of the user.
UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION features two Unison preamps, allowing you to emulate the sound of Neve, Helios, API, Manley, UA and many others on your track. Unison technology captures the sound of these microphone preamps, including their input impedance, gain "sweet spots" and the circuitry of the original hardware. Based on proprietary Unison hardware-software integration, UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION allows you to record at near-zero latency by passing sound through included emulations such as the UA 610-B tube preamp/EQ, thus achieving an authentic analog sound unrivaled by any other. Unison technology is also present on the Hi-Z instrument input on the front panel of the UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION, offering the ability to have the correct impedance and perform gain matching for guitar and bass amplifier models from Fender, Marshall, Ampeg and many others.
With thousands of hits and hundreds of Grammy Award-winning albums under their belt, UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION interfaces are used to record great-sounding records every day. To improve on previous generations of the product, UA engineers have redesigned the conversion of the UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION, thus offering an incredible dynamic range of 127 dB and a THD+N of -117 dB, providing a spacious and "organic" sound that easily competes with other higher-end converters at a much higher price.
Built on traditional Apollo quality, UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION offers an incredible range of classic analog sounds and coloration thanks to its Realtime UAD processing. Available with a choice of an integrated UAD-2 DUO or QUAD core processor, UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION allows you to record with the entire UAD plugin offering (at near-zero latency) with authentic emulations of Neve, Studer, Helios, API, Lexicon, Manley, Fender, Capitol Studios and many more.
UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION contains the "Heritage Edition" bundle and the "Realtime Analog Classic" suite, which includes: UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ, Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 Compressors, Marshall Plexi Guitar Amp, Ampeg SVT-VR Bass Amp, Pultec EQs, and others. This way, you'll have access to a rack full of classic audio tools.
UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION interfaces work with all major DAWs, such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools and others. But now, they become a fully integrated recording system with LUNA, a new recording application for Mac by Universal Audio. Strengthened by Accelerated Realtime Monitoring™, LUNA allows you to record and mix with an intuitive single-window workflow and unlimited tracks, Audio Units support and access to an exclusive suite of LUNA Instruments and LUNA Extensions.
From Studer multi-track tape and integrated Neve summing, to Moog instruments and many others, LUNA transforms Apollo interfaces into the most inspiring music creation platform on the planet.
Thanks to the two Unison preamps, two line outputs and optical ADAT/SPDIF inputs, remote monitor controls and the integrated talkback microphone, the 10 x 6 UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION interface provides the user with the necessary inputs and outputs for professional recording and mixing.
UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO TWIN X DUO | HERITAGE EDITION users can combine up to four Apollo Thunderbolt and six UAD-2 devices, thus adding inputs, outputs and DSP as your studio grows. Once you've expanded your studio, you can use the Apollo Twin X Heritage Edition as a desktop monitor control with I/O and additional DSP power.
