Meet Apollo. The High-Resolution Audio Interface with Classic Analog Sound.
Universal Audio Apollo® is the first professional,
high-resolution computer audio interface that delivers the sound, feel,
and flow of analog recording. This 18 x 24 FireWire/Thunderbolt™-ready
interface combines genuine UA analog design with class-leading
24-bit/192 kHz sound quality and onboard Realtime UAD Processing. Using
Apollo, music producers and performers can finally track audio through a
range of classic UAD analog emulation plug-ins — from Neve, Studer,
Manley, Lexicon and more — in real time, and with a sleek, elegant
workflow on both Mac and PC.*
Class-Leading 24-bit/192 kHz Sound Quality for Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase & More Apollo
builds upon decades of UA’s analog design heritage as an extremely
well-built, high-resolution audio interface, featuring premium mic
preamps and top-end converters for the lowest THD and highest dynamic
range in its class. Its Core Audio and ASIO* drivers ensure
compatibility with all major DAWs, including Pro Tools, Logic Pro,
Cubase, Live, and more. Moreover, Apollo’s included Console application
and companion Console Recall plug-in (VST/AU/RTAS) provide control and
recall of all interface and UAD plug-in settings within individual DAW
sessions, even months and years later.
Realtime UAD Plug-In Processing for Tracking, Mixing and Mastering Apollo
differentiates itself from all other interfaces with its Realtime UAD
Processing. Available with either DUO Core or QUAD Core processing
onboard, this DSP Acceleration allows for recording and mixing through
UAD Powered Plug-Ins — with as low as sub-2ms latency — so that
producers can quickly monitor, audition, and “print” audio using classic
analog emulations from Ampex, Lexicon, Manley, Neve, Roland, SSL,
Studer, and more.** In this way, Apollo’s sonic character and tonal
options are nearly endless. The onboard UAD processing also frees up
host computer CPU for other virtual instrument or mixing duties.
Thunderbolt™ I/O: The Next Generation of Connectivity Apollo
offers compatibility with Intel’s new Thunderbolt technology, as found
on the newest iMacs, MacBook Pros, and MacBook Airs. Available via a
user-installable Thunderbolt I/O Option Card ($499 MAP, sold
separately), Thunderbolt provides lower latency, reduced audio buffer
size, improved performance, and greater UAD plug-in instances versus
FireWire.
