Universal Audio Apollo Twin X DUO Heritage Edition

Product Information

Studiocare Professional Audio Limited is acting as a credit broker offering finance products from Omni Capital Retail Finance Limited. The A/D and D/A conversion is as clear as advertised, and having the UAD-2 DUO Core processing at my fingertips has allowed me to use UAD plug-ins without any perceptible latency.

With its two Unison equipped preamps, two line outs, and optical ADAT/SPDIF input plus dedicated monitor remote controls and a built in Talk-back mic the 10 x 6 Apollo Twin X gives you the I/O you need for professional tracks and mixes.

Apollo Twin X features two Unison-enabled mic preamps, letting you track through exacting mic preamp emulations from Neve, Helios, API, Manley, Universal Audio and many more. Letting you record through preamps from Neve, API, Manley, and more — with near‑zero latency — Apollo Twin X is born to make records. This handy feature allows you to keep on top of the production process and track your progress as you go.

From Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, Duane Allman to Eric Clapton, the Plexi’s punishing melange of snarl, sustain, smoothness, and raunch defined the sound of rock. On the front panel, you have a Hi-Z input for electric guitars and a studio headphone out for easy access. The free version of LUNA gives you everything you need to record and mix with your Apollo interface but additional extensions can be used to create even more powerful recording systems to provide in-the-box analogue tones with Tapes and Summing extensions as well as stunning virtual instruments.The console control in the computer can seem daunting at first, but once you get around to it, there's nothing difficult there. While designed in a lovely desktop format, it features a host of inputs and outputs with the option to expand via ADAT. Beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins, Apollo Twin X lets you tap into the full library award-winning UAD Powered Plug-Ins — including vintage EQs, Compressors, Reverbs, Tape Machines and more — at near-zero latency, regardless of your audio software’s buffer size and without taxing your computer’s CPU. If you already own one of the plug-ins you will be able to choose from an alternative group of plug-ins.

Apollo Heritage Editions include plug-ins featured in UAD Spark, UA's subscription plug-in collection that runs natively on Mac, with no UA hardware required. Developed by UA’s world-renowned team of algorithm engineers, these Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins set the standard by which all other hardware emulation plug-ins are judged.

Letting you record through preamps from Neve, API, Manley, and more — with near-zero latency — Apollo Twin X is born to make records. Having never journeyed into the world of DSP recording, we’re instantly sold on it and move to the next instrument excitedly.
