Elite Audio Conversion with Four Unison Mic Preamps, HEXA Core Processing, and Surround SoundApollo x8 allows music producers, project, and post-production studios to track, overdub, and mix with new world-beating A/D and D/A conversion, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, and 7.1 surround sound monitoring – all in a sleek rackmount Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for Mac or PC.Built upon UA’s 60-year heritage of audio craftsmanship, this 18 x 24 interface distinguishes itself with four Unison(TM)-enabled mic preamps, providing authentic emulations of preamps from Neve, API, Manley, SSL, and more, plus all-new HEXA Core processing – yielding 50% more DSP for running UAD Powered Plug-Ins in real time.Record with elite-class A/D and D/A conversion – nearing the widest dynamic range and lowest noise available, at any priceMix with powerful HEXA Core processing, featuring 6 UAD DSP chips for running more UAD Powered Plug-Ins in real timeTrack with near-zero latency through Unison(TM) preamp emulations from Neve, API, Manley, Helios, Fender, and moreIntegrate with high-end commercial systems, via 7.1 surround sound monitoring and selectable 24 dBu headroomElite-Class A/D and D/A ConversionTo improve on the previous generation Apollo interface’s class-leading audio conversion, UA engineers obsessively auditioned the latest A/D and D/A converters – ultimately pairing elite-class 24-bit/192 kHz converters with all-new analog circuitry for an ultra-pristine signal path.With 129 dB dynamic range and -119 dB THD N, Apollo x8’s open, natural sound quality rivals any dedicated high-end converter on the market – regardless of price – and is the perfect starting point for applying UAD processing.Realtime UAD HEXA Core Processing Apollo x8 features new HEXA Core processing, with six DSP chips and 50% more UAD plug-in processing power than previous Apollos. This lets you run more UAD plug-ins, whether you’re tracking in real time with channel strips from Neve, Manley, or API, or running high UAD plug-in counts when mixing in your DAW.From the tube warmth of Pultec EQs on guitars to the musical tube limiting of the LA-2A on vocals, or the pump of a genuine 1176 or Fairchild 670 tube compressor on drums, your recordings will take a giant leap forward with a rich, three-dimensional analog sound that UAD plug‑ins provide.Unison Technology: The Genuine Sound of Neve, API & Manley Preamps Perfect for musicians, engineers, producers, and sound designers, Apollo x8 features four Unison-enabled mic preamps, letting you track through exacting mic preamp emulations from Neve, API, Manley, Helios, SSL, and Universal Audio. A Universal Audio exclusive, Unison technology nails the tone of these sought-after tube and solid state mic pres – including their input impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and the component-level circuit behaviors of the original hardware.The secret to Unison is its hardware-software integration between Apollo’s mic preamps and its onboard HEXA Core DSP Acceleration. Simply place a Unison preamp plug-in on your mic input in Apollo Console software, and it physically reconfigures the Apollo interface’s impedance – so you can tap into the classic sounds of the world’s most recorded mic preamps.A Full Suite of Classic Analog Processing Onboard Of course, a hallmark feature of Apollo is its Realtime UAD Processing, letting you run the full library of UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency. Apollo x8 includes the Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle, so you can record and mix with the world’s only authentic Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN, and Fairchild compressors, the Unison-enabled UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ, and iconic guitar and bass amps from Marshall and AmpegMore Included Plugins:UA 610‐BMarshall Plexi Classic AmplifierFairchild 670 LegacyTeletronix LA‐2A LegacyUA 1176LN LegacyUA 1176SE LegacyPultec EQP‐1A LegacyPultec Pro LegacyAmpeg SVT-VR Classic Bass AmpPrecision Channel StripPrecision Reflection EnginePrecision Delay ModulationPrecision Delay Modulation LUA Precision Enhancer HzRaw DistortionRealVerb‐ProAPOLLO x8 FEATURES18 x 24 Thunderbolt 3 audio interface with class-leading 24-bit/192 KHz conversion (backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 1 & 2 on Mac**)Realtime UAD HEXA Core Processing for tracking through UAD plug-ins at near-zero latency, regardless of audio buffer sizeRecord through 4 Unison-enabled mic/line preamps – giving you fully authentic preamp emulations from Neve, API, Manley, SSL, and moreSurround monitor controller up to 7.1 format*Includes “Realtime Analog Classics Plus” UAD plug-in bundle featuring UA 610-B Tube Preamp; Legacy Pultec EQ, LA-2A, and 1176 compressors; Marshall Plexi Classic; Ampeg SVT-VR Classic, and moreUAD HEXA Core processing onboard for additional mixing horsepower for Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Ableton, and other major DAWsCombine up to 4 Thunderbolt-equipped Apollos and 6 total UAD devicesSelectable 24 dBu operation for easy compatibility with professional mixing consoles and tape machinesConvenient front panel monitoring functions including Alt Speakers, Talkback mic, and assignable Dim or MonoFree, industry-leading technical support – on the phone and online – from knowledgeable audio engineers
