Universal Audio Apollo X16D Gen2 - a special edition professional 18x20 Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for Mac/PC. Rack-mountable 18 x 20 Thunderbolt audio interface with flagship elite audio converter Apollo X Gen 2, Apollo Monitor Correction, support for immersive audio up to 9.1.6, Bass Management, HEXA core DSP plug-in processing, and a set of premium software for Mac or Windows.
The latest generation of Universal Audio Apollo X interfaces provides best-in-class sound with a truly analog recording feel. All Apollo X audio interfaces feature new HEXA Core processors for real-time DSP processing of UAD plugins, Unison microphone preamp technology for recording with nearly zero latency through a full lineup of UAD modules from Fender, Neve, Manley, SSL, API, and more. With the addition of the new Apollo X Thunderbolt 3 interfaces, Universal Audio provides an unprecedented platform for recording, mixing, and mastering for professional engineers.
The new generation of Universal Audio Apollo X16D from UA is designed for professional studios and music producers who need 16 channels of high-resolution sound conversion and HEXA Core DSP processing for console connectivity and mixing large sessions with world-class UAD plugins from Auto-Tune, Neve, Manley, Avalon, SSL, and hundreds more. Connect up to four x16D units to create a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy. Or expand your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio via Dante - the lowest latency and most scalable audio network available. This means that if you've been wanting to move to a networked recording studio or simply want to expand your system to multi-room, you won't have to start from scratch.
Universal Audio Apollo X16D features eight microphone preamps with Unison support, allowing you to use accurate emulations of microphone preamps from Neve, Helios, API, Manley, UA, and many others. The Unison technology precisely models the sound of microphone 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 of the Apollo x8p, providing complete impedance matching and gain staging for models of Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, and many other guitar and bass amplifiers.
Apollo X16D offers a stunning array of classic instruments for real-time recording and mixing with UAD plugins. Thanks to the powerful built-in UAD-2 OCTO Core processing, Apollo X16D allows for recording and mixing with UAD plugins with almost zero latency. Among the extensive plugin collection, you can find authentic emulations of top sellers from Neve, Studer, Helios, API, Lexicon, Manley, Fender, Capitol Studios, and many others.
Deep integration with Apollo offers a fast, natural workflow. Apollo X interfaces work with all major DAWs, including Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Tools, and many more. However, they become a fully integrated recording system with LUNA, a new powerful recording and creative application.
