Thunderbolt Audio Interface 18 x 20 with Dante® I/O
Apollo interfaces meet Dante protocol. This product is perfect for live music venues or networked recording studios. Apollo x16D offers Apollo X sound quality and real-time UAD plug-in processing via Thunderbolt and Dante. With Apollo x16D you can mix and record live performances with over 200 UAD plug-ins from Neve, SSL and Auto-Tune, plus classic LA-2A and 1176 compressors and many others.
Universal Audio created Apollo x16D for live sound engineers and networked recording studios. With its 16 channels of Dante I/O, high-quality audio conversion and HEXA core DSP processing — the world's most powerful system for running UAD plug-ins in real time. Apollo x16D connects seamlessly to your digital mixing console, giving you over 200 UAD plug-ins at your fingertips.
With its powerful digital mixing engine that gives you control over inputs, outputs and plug-in routing, Apollo x16D makes it easy to quickly build your mix and control entire effect chains in real time. You can also quickly recall your plug-in settings via MIDI, all without interrupting the performance.
Apollo x16D is available in two editions that offer a generous suite of UAD plug-ins ready to use. Build your mix with classic Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec equalizers and Neve channel strip through modern software like Auto-Tune, Avalon and others.
Chain up to four x16D units to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy. Or expand your existing Thunderbolt Apollo studio onto Dante — the most scalable audio network with the lowest latency available. This means that if you're considering moving to a networked recording studio or simply want to grow into a multi-room setup, you don't have to start from scratch.
After the live performance, bring Apollo x16D back into the studio where the interface transforms into your all-in-one monitoring hub for mixing formats up to 9.1.6. This allows you to easily create immersive 16-channel audio mixes of live sets or studio recordings for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio and others.
