Apollo x16 features eight Unison mic preamps, allowing you to use precise emulations of mic preamps from Neve, Helios, API, Manley, UA, and many others. Unison technology accurately models the sound of mic preamps, including their input impedance, circuit behavior at the component level of the original equipment, and sonic characteristics. Unison modeling technology is also used on the six instrument inputs on the rear panel of Apollo x8p, providing full impedance and gain matching for models of Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, and many other guitar and bass amplifiers.
Apollo x16 offers an amazing range of classic instruments for real-time recording and mixing with UAD plugins.
