Thunderbolt 3-powered desktop recording audio interface for Mac and Windows

Arrow is the world’s first Thunderbolt 3-powered desktop recording audio interface for Mac and Windows — delivering class-leading audio conversion, two Unison™ mic preamps, and a suite of onboard UAD plug-ins for album-quality results. This compact 2x4 interface starts with esteemed UA conversion derived from UA’s flagship Apollo interface range, to sonically outperform anything in its class. With its Unison technology and built-in UAD-2 SOLO Core processor, you can record through classic audio tools including the 610 Tube Preamp, LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and a genuine Marshall Plexi amp plug-in — at near-zero latency, regardless of your audio software buffer setting. Now You Can:

• Record with class-leading A/D and D/A conversion — as heard on hundreds of hit records
• Mix with included UAD plug‑ins like the Teletronix^® LA‑2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec^® EQs, and more
• Track with near-zero latency through mic preamp and guitar amp emulations from Neve,^® API,^® Marshall,^® Fender,^® and more using Unison^™ technology*
• Create on-the-go with a sonically superior, bus-powered interface with rugged all-metal construction

Arrow’s Unison technology gives you the tone, touch and “feel” of world’s most sought-after preamps. These include the bundled 610-B Tube Preamp, plus authentic mic preamp emulations from Neve^® and API,^® as well as guitar amp emulations from Fender^® and Marshall^® — complete with their signature impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and component-level circuit behaviors.* The secret to Unison is its hardware-software integration between Arrow’s mic preamps and its onboard UAD-2 SOLO Core processor. Simply place a Unison preamp plug-in on your mic input in Arrow’s Console software, and it physically reconfigures Arrow’s impedance — so you can tap into the classic tube and transformer sounds of the world’s most recorded mic preamps and guitar amps. Right out of the box, Arrow provides a suite of incredible analog emulation plug-ins including the world’s only authentic Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN, Pultec EQs, and the Unison-enabled UA 610-B Tube Preamp. 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. From the tube warmth of the Pultec EQ on guitars, to the gentle limiting of the LA-2A on vocals, your recordings will take a giant leap forward in rich, sonically complex analog sound. For guitarists and bassists, Arrow includes Unison technology on its front panel instrument input — giving you access to dead-on emulations of amps like the Fender^® '55 Tweed Deluxe, Ampeg^® B-15N Bass Amplifier, Eden^® WT800 Bass Amplifier, and the included Marshall^® Plexi Classic — all available at near-zero latency for songwriting and recording.   *Arrow includes the “Realtime Analog Classics” UAD plug-in bundle. Other UAD plug-ins sold separately.
