10 x 6 Thunderbolt desktop audio interface
The Universal Audio Apollo Twin X Quad Gen 2 AC Analog Classics is a desktop Thunderbolt audio interface designed for musicians, producers, and content creators who want the sound quality of the Apollo X Gen 2 series in a compact form factor. With two Unison™ microphone preamps, next-generation audio conversion, and a built-in QUAD Core DSP processor, it offers everything you need to record, produce, mix, and master to professional standards.
This version includes the UAD Analog Classics bundle, a selection of professional Universal Audio plug-ins that lets you record, mix, and produce right out of the box with the sonic character of the most iconic analog gear in music history.
The two Unison™ microphone preamps let you record in real time using Universal Audio’s renowned emulations. Unison technology automatically adjusts the input’s impedance, gain, and circuit behavior, faithfully recreating the operation of the original analog gear.
Thanks to emulations of Neve, API, Avalon, Manley, SSL, and many other historic brands, you can instantly achieve the sonic character of the consoles and preamps that have shaped the history of music production.
The Apollo X Gen 2 platform features completely redesigned A/D and D/A converters, offering superior dynamic range, extremely low distortion, and even more faithful sound reproduction. Conversion up to 24-bit / 192 kHz allows you to capture every detail of the performance with absolute precision.
D/A monitoring achieves a dynamic range of up to 129 dB, ensuring greater accuracy during recording, mixing, and mastering.
The QUAD Core DSP processor allows you to use Universal Audio plug-ins during recording with virtually zero latency. Compressors, equalizers, channel strips, reverbs, delays, dynamic processors, and amplifiers are processed directly by the internal DSP, freeing up the computer’s CPU.
The UAD Analog Classics bundle includes a selection of professional plug-ins for recording, mixing, and mastering, providing all the essential tools for professional-level music production right from the start.
The Auto-Gain feature automatically adjusts the preamps to the optimal level, speeding up session setup and reducing the risk of clipping. Apollo Monitor Correction, developed in collaboration with Sonarworks®, allows you to calibrate monitors and headphones for an extremely linear and reliable response during mixing.
Bass Management allows you to easily integrate a subwoofer into your monitoring system, improving control over low frequencies and making the Apollo Twin X Gen 2 ideal for immersive productions and post-production work as well.
The UAD Console app lets you manage routing, ultra-low-latency monitoring, Plug-In Scenes, Auto-Gain, and Bass Management from a single, intuitive interface. Integration with LUNA also enables a workflow inspired by classic analog consoles while maintaining all the flexibility of modern DAWs.
The Apollo Twin X Quad Gen 2 AC Analog Classics is compatible with LUNA, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, and the leading professional audio workstations available for Mac and Windows.
Thanks to Thunderbolt technology, you can connect up to four Apollo interfaces, providing up to 128 channels of professional I/O. The Apollo Twin X Quad Gen 2 is therefore both a complete desktop interface and the ideal starting point for building a professional, ever-expanding Apollo system.
The Analog Classics version includes a selection of professional UAD plug-ins for recording, mixing, mastering, and music production.
