Apollo x4 features four Unison microphone preamps, allowing you to use exact emulations of mic 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 to the component level of the original equipment, and sonic characteristics. Unison modeling technology is also used on the two Hi-Z instrument inputs on the front panel of Apollo x4, providing full impedance matching and gain staging for models of Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, and many other guitar and bass amplifiers.
Apollo desktop audio interfaces are used to create recordings every day, thousands of hits, and Grammy-winning albums. To enhance the previous generation, UA engineers installed new elite converters in the Apollo x4, achieving an impressive dynamic range of 129 dB and -117 dB THD + N, providing Apollo x4 with transparent and organic sound that easily competes with specialized high-quality "Mastering" class converters.
Keeping with the Apollo series traditions, x4 offers a stunning array of classic instruments for real-time recording and mixing with UAD plugins. With the powerful built-in UAD-2 QUAD Core processing, Apollo x4 allows recording and mixing with UAD plugins with nearly zero latency. Among the extensive collection of plugins, you can find authentic emulations of bestsellers from Neve, Studer, Helios, API, Lexicon, Manley, Fender, Capitol Studios, and many others.
In addition to the four Unison mic preamps, Apollo x4 offers two independent headphone outputs and two Hi-Z instrument inputs, allowing you to easily record with multiple musicians. Additionally, with four line outputs, optical input and ADAT/SPDIF output, an expanded monitor section, and a built-in Talkback microphone, Apollo x4 can become a powerful center for your professional studio.
