Universal Audio Apollo X6 Heritage Edition - Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface (Mac/Win)

Universal Audio Apollo X6 Heritage Edition - Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface (Mac/Win)

The Universal Audio Apollo x6 is a Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface that allows producers and post-production studio techs to track, overdub, and mix with new world-beating A/D and D/A conversion, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, and 5.1 surround sound monitoring. Apollo interfaces are no strangers to tracking stellar-sounding records. To improve on the previous generation Apollo interfaces’ 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 analogue circuitry for an ultra-pristine signal path.

The UA Apollo X6 now comes with a larger range of plugins in the Heritage Edition. See below for details.

With 129 dB dynamic range and -118 dB THD+N, Apollo x6’s open, natural sound quality rivals any dedicated high-end converter on the market — regardless of price —and is the perfect starting point for applying UAD processing. Apollo x6 features HEXA Core processing, with six DSP chips and 50% more UAD plug-in processing power than previous Apollos. 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.

The new flagship Apollo X interfaces give music producers, project studio owners, and post-production studios new world-beating A/D and D/A conversion, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, Dual-Crystal clocking, and 7.1 surround sound monitoring — all in a sleek rackmount Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for Mac or PC.*
