Two Unison Preamps: Create Unique Neve, Helios, API, and Other Legendary Sounds
The Apollo Twin X comes with two Unison microphone preamps, allowing you to use precise emulations of microphone preamps from Neve, Helios, API, Manley, UA, and many others. Unison technology accurately models the sound of microphone preamps, including their input impedance, circuit behavior at the component level of the original equipment, and sound characteristics. Unison modeling technology is also used on the Hi-Z instrument input on the front panel of the Apollo Twin X, providing full impedance matching and gain alignment for models of Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, and many other guitar and bass amplifiers.
Next-Level AD/DA Conversion
Apollo desktop audio interfaces are used to create records every day, thousands of hits, and hundreds of Grammy-winning albums. To improve the previous generation Apollo Twin, UA engineers installed new elite converters in the Apollo Twin X, achieving an amazing dynamic range of 127 dB and -117 dB THD+N, providing the Apollo Twin X with a transparent and organic sound that easily rivals specialized high-quality "Mastering" class converters.
