Your Studio Centerpiece
The Universal Audio Apollo x16 rackmount Thunderbolt 3 interface is the bridge between outboard studio gear and a DAW. With 16x16 analog I/O over DB25, it’s painless connecting to professional equipment, and its switchable +24dBu headroom setting ensures compatibility with high-end tools, which include consoles. It’s even possible to daisy chain up to four Apollo x16 interfaces for rapid channel expansion best suited to large-format consoles and extensive collections of studio processors, like preamps. The UA Apollo x16 interface is the centerpiece of a hybrid analog/digital workflow that many engineers rely on every day.
Powerful HEXA Core Processing
Mix using DSP-powered UAD plug-ins, driven by the elite HEXA Core processing found in the Universal Audio Apollo x16. The included Realtime Analog Classics plug-in bundle contains digital emulations of famous gear, like Pultec EQ, 1176, LA-2A and Fairchild compression, and the UA 610-B tube preamp. HEXA Core processing also opens the x16 interface up to the entire DSP-based UAD library, so you can mix with the best of the best in analog modeling. With the Apollo x16, you can also track through UAD plug-ins in real time using the Console application. Each channel has four virtual inserts, which can then be placed in the record or monitor path, to print UAD effects à la the analog days, or give your artist a fully decked-out headphone mix without committing to sounds on the way in.
Exceptionally Detailed Recordings
The latest Universal Audio Apollo x16 combines 24-bit/192kHz A/D and D/A converters with all-new analog circuitry for an ultraclean signal path. Apollo interfaces are noted for their stellar sound that’s been described as open, natural and realistic, as if the performer is in the room with you. These desirable sonic traits have been all over hit records since the Apollo series’ inception in 2012, and the flagship x16, with its current-day components, takes pristine audio fidelity to new heights. At 133dB, the Apollo x16 boasts best-in-class dynamic range, aided by incredibly low self-noise measured at -129dB THD+N (Total Harmonic Distortion Plus Noise).
