UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | EN

Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface

The new Apollo Heritage Editions include a comprehensive software suite with a varying number of 5 to 10 of the best UAD plug-ins, including the complete collections of Teletronix,® Fairchild,® Pultec,® Helios® and UA, in an exclusive package that makes this new series even more prestigious. Apollo Heritage Editions Rackmount interfaces include a plug-in bundle worth €2,490.
These are some of the main UAD plug-ins that have contributed to Universal Audio's great reputation in analog modeling and that effectively make the new Apollo Heritage Editions the best choice for anyone looking for the most accurate selection of digital emulations of analog classics.
UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | HERITAGE EDITION boasts 60 years of Universal Audio experience and far surpasses other interfaces in a similar range thanks to its 127 dB D/A dynamic range and a prestigious analog emulation plug-in bundle, giving the user the possibility of having a real "analog studio" directly on their desk.
UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | HERITAGE EDITION has four UNISON preamps. This technology allows you to record through exact emulations of Neve, API, Manley, SSL, and Universal Audio. Unison technology is exclusive to Universal Audio and achieves the classic sound of these tube and solid-state preamps, including their input impedance, the "sweet spot" of gain staging, and the quality of the original hardware components.
UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | HERITAGE EDITION is based on the proprietary UNISON hardware-software integration, allowing recording with near-zero latency through included emulations like the UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ, with an authentic analog sound that other interfaces have never come close to. Unison technology can also be found on the Hi-Z instrument inputs on the front panel, allowing for precise impedance and gain matching to accurately emulate Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, and many other amplifiers.
With thousands of chart-topping songs and thousands of Grammy-winning albums on their resume, Apollo desktop audio interfaces are used to create records every day. To improve performance over previous generations, Universal Audio engineers designed the conversion of the UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | HERITAGE EDITION to achieve an incredible 127 dB dynamic range and a THD+N value of -117 dB, thus giving the interface a spacious and organic sound that can easily compete with other much more expensive dedicated high-end converters.
UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | 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 workflow based on a single window and an unlimited number of tracks, Audio Units support, and access to an exclusive suite of LUNA Instruments and LUNA Extensions.
From Studer tape multitrack and integrated Neve summing, to Moog instruments and many others, LUNA transforms Apollo interfaces into the most inspiring music creation platform on the planet.
Building on the best Apollo tradition, UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | HERITAGE EDITION unveils an incredible range of analog sounds and colorations through real-time UAD processing. With an onboard UAD-2 QUAD core processor, UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | HERITAGE EDITION allows you to record with near-zero latency with UAD plug-ins, with emulations like Neve, Studer, Helios, API, Lexicon, Manley, Fender, Capitol Studios, and many others.
UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | HERITAGE EDITION contains the "Realtime Analog Classic Plus" suite, the UAD plug-in suite that will give you a rack full of audio classics ready to use (UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ, Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Marshall® Plexi Classic Guitar Amp, Ampeg® SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp, Pultec EQs, and others).
In addition to the four Unison microphone preamps, UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | HERITAGE EDITION offers two independent headphone outputs and two HI-Z instrument inputs, allowing you to easily collaborate with others. Furthermore, thanks to a total of four line outputs, ADAT and SPDIF I/O, a remote control for monitors, and integrated Talkback, the Apollo x4 audio interface can become the very center of your professional desktop studio.
Users of UNIVERSAL AUDIO APOLLO X4 | HERITAGE EDITION can combine up to four Apollo Thunderbolt interfaces and six UAD devices, allowing you to add inputs, outputs, and DSP in parallel with your studio's growth. If you want to expand your studio with an Apollo X rack, you can use the Apollo x4 as a desktop monitor control with additional inputs and DSP.
