Thunderbolt audio interface 16 x 22
The Universal Audio Apollo X6 Gen 2 AC Analog Classics is a 16 x 22 Thunderbolt audio interface designed for music producers, recording studios, and audio professionals who want the sound quality of the Apollo X Gen 2 series in a compact yet extremely powerful format. With two Unison™ microphone preamps, Apollo X Gen 2 conversion, and a built-in HEXA Core DSP processor, it’s an ideal solution for professional recording, production, mixing, and mastering.
This version includes the UAD Analog Classics bundle, a selection of professional Universal Audio plug-ins that lets you start recording, mixing, and producing right away with professional-quality tools inspired by the most legendary analog hardware in history.
The two Unison™ microphone preamps let you record in real time using Universal Audio’s renowned emulations. Unison technology faithfully recreates the impedance, gain, and circuit behavior of historic preamps and channel strips, delivering an extremely realistic recording experience.
With compatible plug-ins, you can achieve the sonic character of gear from Neve, API, Avalon, Manley, SSL, and many other iconic brands right during tracking.
The Apollo X Gen 2 platform features completely redesigned A/D and D/A converters, capable of delivering superior dynamic range and extremely low distortion levels. Conversion up to 24-bit / 192 kHz ensures detailed, transparent recordings that are perfectly faithful to the source.
The Dual-Crystal Clocking system reduces jitter to extremely low levels, ensuring greater temporal precision and improved stereo image definition.
The HEXA Core DSP processor allows you to record and mix using Universal Audio plug-ins with virtually zero latency. Compressors, channel strips, equalizers, reverbs, delays, tape simulations, and amp models can be used directly during recording without overloading your computer.
The UAD Analog Classics bundle includes a selection of professional plug-ins dedicated to recording, mixing, and mastering, offering compressors, equalizers, channel strips, reverbs, virtual instruments, and effects that let you achieve professional-quality productions right out of the box.
The Auto-Gain feature automatically adjusts the preamps to the optimal level in just a few seconds, simplifying the setup of recording sessions and reducing the risk of clipping. This feature is particularly useful for vocal recordings, podcasts, acoustic instruments, and sessions with multiple musicians.
Apollo Monitor Correction, developed in collaboration with Sonarworks®, allows you to calibrate monitors and headphones for a more linear and accurate response. This enables you to make more reliable decisions during mixing and mastering, even in acoustically imperfect environments.
The built-in Bass Management feature lets you easily add a subwoofer to your monitoring system, improving control over low frequencies and surround setups.
The Apollo X6 Gen 2 supports stereo and surround configurations up to 5.1, making it ideal for music, post-production, sound design, and audiovisual content. The built-in monitor controller also lets you manage alternate monitors, talkback, and different listening configurations directly from the interface.
The UAD Console app lets you control routing, ultra-low-latency monitoring, Plug-In Scenes, Auto-Gain, and Bass Management from a single, intuitive interface. Integration with LUNA offers a workflow inspired by analog consoles while maintaining all the flexibility of a modern DAW.
Apollo X6 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.
The Apollo X6 Gen 2 can be expanded by connecting up to four Apollo Thunderbolt interfaces, providing up to 128 channels of professional I/O. This allows you to build a fully modular studio while maintaining a single workspace and centralized control over the entire system.
The Analog Classics version includes a selection of professional UAD plug-ins for recording, mixing, mastering, and music production.
