The Most Trusted Interface, Reimagined for Gen 2

The Universal Audio Apollo x8p Gen 2 Essentials+ Edition is a professional 16x22 Thunderbolt 3 audio interface with eight Unison mic preamps and HEXA Core DSP processing. Track and mix with near-zero latency using over 30 included UAD plug-ins from industry leaders like Neve, API, and Auto-Tune. Built for engineers handling large sessions, it delivers UA's signature sound quality in a rackmount format trusted by top professionals worldwide.

Pristine Audio Clarity: Hear Every Detail
The Gen 2 design showcases Elite-Class Apollo X converters with 24-bit/192 kHz resolution, delivering the widest dynamic range (130 dB) and lowest distortion (-127 dB THD) of any Apollo to date. Dual-Crystal Clocking eliminates jitter for pristine recordings and stable stereo imaging. Apollo Monitor Correction with Sonarworks calibrates your monitors and headphones for accurate mixing anywhere.

Real-Time Analog Tone & Hybrid Power
The Apollo x8p provides eight Unison mic preamps that deliver real-time tracking through authentic emulations of classic analog gear from Neve, API, Manley, and Fender. Unison technology matches impedance and gain structure to the original hardware, surpassing standard software modeling. The onboard HEXA Core DSP processor enables hybrid processing, pairing DSP with native computing to manage large sessions and complex plug-in chains that exceed native-only capabilities.

Smart Workflow, Effortless Session Management
The interface includes innovative features designed to streamline demanding studio tasks, all accessible via the updated UAD Console app. Auto-Gain sets input levels across mics, line, and Hi-Z inputs instantly without clipping risk. Multichannel immersive audio up to 7.1 surround with Bass Management optimizes subwoofer integration. It also functions as a full monitor controller with alternate speaker switching and integrated talkback
