Universal Audio Apollo X Gen 2
Brandishing the highest-resolution audio conversion of any Apollo to date, Universal Audio’s Apollo X Gen 2 series of audio interfaces will embolden your studio with authentic analog-inspired sound. This upgrade to UA’s industry-leading series of audio interfaces introduces a whole host of software and hardware upgrades, including assistive Auto-Gain, Apollo Monitor Correction, Bass Management, and a fresh new update to the UAD Console app. Moreover, you get all the time-tested elements that made Apollo’s first generation a studio standby, including real-time tracking through studio gear emulations, Unison preamps, seamless LUNA integration, a smattering of award-winning UA plug-ins, and the power to combine your interface’s built-in DSP with your computer’s native processing. Universal Audio’s first generation of Apollo interfaces raised the bar for what a studio-grade audio interface should be, and the Apollo X Gen 2 lineup takes the formula to an entirely new realm of performance and versatility.
Primed for Immersive Audio
Universal Audio’s Apollo Gen 2 range introduces myriad benefits for working within immersive audio applications — the Apollo x16 Gen 2 natively supports spatial 9.1.6 monitoring. And if you prefer to start small and build your way up to a full Dolby Atmos–ready setup, Apollo X Gen 2 interfaces can be chained together to secure additional outputs. Finally, Apollo X Gen 2 is finished off with a collection of immersive-ready software upgrades, including Apollo Monitor Correction, Bass Management, and an updated UAD Console app geared toward seamless immersive monitoring.
The Next Generation of AD/DA Conversion
Building upon the industry-defining sound of Gen 1, Universal Audio’s Apollo X Gen 2 interfaces come equipped with sonically superior 24-bit/192kHz AD/DA conversion. From the desktop-ready Duo to UA’s premium rackmount interfaces, you’ll enjoy the widest dynamic range and the lowest distortion of any Apollo interface to date.
Assistive Auto-Gain and Unison Preamps
In addition to their next-generation aural upgrades, Universal Audio’s Apollo X Gen 2 interfaces now boast assistive Auto-Gain that makes recording with Apollo easier than ever before. This workflow-enhancing feature automatically sets input gain across multiple channels in mere seconds, ensuring proper levels across the board. What’s more, Auto-Gain can be applied on any of your Apollo Gen 2’s inputs, whether they be microphone, line level, or hi-Z, and you can even deploy Auto-Gain with select Unison preamp models.
Brilliant Bass Management
Whether you’re working in standard stereo 2.1 or 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos, achieving a studio mix that translates requires a monitor setup with a well-tuned bass response. To aid you in your low-end pursuits, Apollo Gen 2 interfaces sport all-new Bass Management that ensures your subwoofers sing with the utmost low-frequency detail. How does it work? UA’s Bass Management brandishes a real-time DSP-drive Linkwitz-Riley crossover to effortlessly integrate and optimize your subwoofer’s performance.
Industry-leading Apollo Monitor Correction
To top it all off, Apollo X Gen 2 interfaces leverage the power of Universal Audio’s Apollo Monitor Correction technology. This cutting-edge feature applies Sonarworks SoundID Reference profiles to Universal Audio’s precision EQ filters — all in real time on your Apollo interface’s onboard DSP. Whether you’re running high-performance headphones or studio monitors, Apollo Monitor Correction emboldens your mix with the utmost sonic accuracy.
