Key Information About the Apollo x6 Audio Interface (2nd Generation)
- High-end Conversion 24-bit/192 kHz and "Apollo Monitor Correction" powered by Sonarworks for calibrated speaker and headphone monitoring.
- Studio Workflow via the UAD Console: auto-gain, bass management, plug-in scenes, and surround support up to 5.1.
- HEXA Core Power to run UAD plug-ins in real time with ultra-low latency on complex sessions.
- Expandable System chainable up to four Apollo Thunderbolt units for extended I/O configurations.
In the Apollo Lineage: A Sharpened 2nd Generation
The Apollo x6 (2nd generation) continues the legacy of UA interfaces by delivering a major step forward in monitoring and conversion. The new converters and integrated monitor correction enable faster mixing and prevent discrepancies between the control room and mobile listening. In a 1U rack format, it becomes the heart of a modern hybrid studio.
For Demanding Producers, Mixers, and Creators
With its Unison preamps, dedicated Hi-Z inputs, and comprehensive analog and digital I/O, the Apollo x6 meets the needs of multi-instrument producers, mixing engineers, and broadcast creators who alternate between tracking, overdubs, sound design, and post-production.
Features Designed for a Professional Workflow
Reliable Monitoring
The "Apollo Monitor Correction" calibrated by Sonarworks compensates for your speakers' and headphones' frequency response. Combined with Dual Crystal Clocking, it ensures a stable stereo image and reliable mixing decisions.
UAD Console, Your Virtual Console
Route signals, save plug-in scenes, activate auto-gain and bass management, manage a 5.1 surround setup, and record with UAD plug-ins in real time thanks to the HEXA Core DSP.
A Studio That Grows With You
Two Thunderbolt 3 ports allow cascading Apollo interfaces and seamless integration with your DAW. You maintain centralized control from home studio to post-production suite.
