Universal Audio Apollo X8 Heritage Edition - Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface (Mac/Win)

The Universal Audio Apollo X8 is a high-end audio interface that allows music producers, project, and post-production studios to track, overdub, and mix with new world-beating A/D and D/A conversion, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, and 7.1 surround sound monitoring, all in a sleek rackmount Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for Mac or PC. With 129 dB dynamic range and -118 dB TD+N, Apollo x8’s open, natural sound quality rivals any dedicated high-end converter on the market, and is the perfect starting point for applying UAD processing.

The UA Apollo X8 now comes with a larger range of included plugins in the Heritage Edition. See below for details.
