Universal Audio Apollo x16 Gen2 Essentials+ - Price on request

The New Gold Standard in Professional Recording

The Apollo x16 is a professional 18-in/20-out Thunderbolt 3 audio interface engineered for studios demanding pristine audio conversion and real-time DSP processing. Its 16-channel architecture delivers exceptional dynamic range and minimal distortion, while DB-25 connections with switchable +24 dBu headroom accommodate high-end analogue gear seamlessly. Onboard HEXA Core DSP enables low-latency UAD plug-in processing during recording and mixing, bringing classic studio sound directly into your workflow.

Flagship AD/DA and Dual-Crystal Precision
The Apollo x16 Gen 2 features Elite-class converters delivering 24-bit/192 kHz resolution with 133 dB dynamic range and -129 dB THD. Dual-Crystal Clocking minimises jitter across all sample rates, ensuring pristine signal integrity and accurate stereo imaging for critical monitoring and recording applications.

Immersive Mixing and Optimised Monitoring
The Apollo x16 provides native support for creating immersive audio mixes up to 9.1.6. This capability allows you to tackle formats like Dolby Atmos, Auro‑3D, and Sony 360 Reality Audio. For superior monitoring, the interface includes Apollo Monitor Correction, powered by Sonarworks, which allows you to mix with confidence in stereo and immersive formats. Additionally, the Bass Management feature uses a real-time DSP-driven Linkwitz-Riley crossover to seamlessly integrate and optimise your subwoofer for maximum low-frequency detail, whether you are working in stereo or immersive formats.

Real-Time UAD Processing
The Apollo x16 features HEXA Core DSP for real-time, near-zero-latency UAD plug-in processing across 200+ titles, including Teletronix LA-2A, Pultec EQP-1A, and Auto-Tune. The Essentials+ bundle delivers professional-grade tracking and mixing tools, while hybrid DSP and native processing integration maximises computational flexibility.

Seamless Studio Control and DAW Integration
The Apollo x16 features an updated UAD Console with Auto-Gain and Plug-In Scenes for streamlined workflow management. Full monitor control includes integrated talkback and speaker switching, while LUNA DAW integration delivers Accelerated Realtime Monitoring for low-latency tracking. Stack up to four units via Thunderbolt for expanded console integration and large-scale production setups.
