Essential Information About the Universal Audio Apollo Twin X Quad Audio Interface
- 24-bit / 192 kHz Conversion with a dynamic range of 127 dB for precise stereo imaging and generous headroom.
- 2 Unison preamps + front Hi-Z input to record with the colors of iconic analog gear (Neve, API, Manley) in real-time via UAD plug-ins.
- Built-in UAD-2 Quad DSP for mixing through studio compressors, equalizers, and reverbs without overloading your computer; "Essentials+" pack included.
- Modern monitoring: Apollo Monitor Correction (Sonarworks), Auto-Gain, bass manager, plug-in scenes, talkback, and Mono/Mute/DIM/ALT controls.
A Desktop Reference in the Apollo Line
Designed for demanding creators, the Apollo Twin X stands as the premium desktop model in the range. It combines the musicality of Universal Audio converters and the "recording at the source" philosophy cherished by analog studios, all in a compact and robust chassis ready for the road or the main control room.
For Producers, Musicians, and Hybrid Creators
Beatmakers, guitarists, singers, podcasters, or mobile engineers will benefit from a fast workflow: ultra-low latency tracking via Console, the ability to "commit" Unison colors at the take, and expansion via ADAT to move from a minimalist setup to a 10x6 configuration without friction. Desktop ergonomics and the large central encoder speed up daily tasks.
Key Features and Innovations for a Modern Workflow
Unison Preamps and UAD Plug-ins
The two preamps adapt impedance, gain curve, and analog behavior of the emulated models to capture the attack of an API preamp, the warmth of a Neve, or the smoothness of a Manley right at recording. The UAD-2 Quad DSP lets you stack EQs, compressors, and legendary chambers while keeping your CPU free.
Precision Monitoring and Redesigned Console
With Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks technology, your speakers and headphones deliver a more faithful room listening experience. New Console features - Auto-Gain, bass manager, plug-in scenes - ensure consistent levels, controlled low end, and instant chain recalls. Hardware controls for Mono, Mute, DIM, and ALT integrate into your studio's central control.
