The Apollo 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, Dual-Crystal clocking, and 7.1 surround sound monitoring all in a sleek rackmount Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for Mac or PC.
Built upon UAs 60-year heritage of audio craftsmanship, this 18 x 24 interface distinguishes itself with four Unison-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 price. Mix with powerful HEXA Core processing, featuring 6 UAD DSP chips for running more UAD Powered Plug-Ins in real time. Track with near-zero latency through Unison preamp emulations from Neve, API, Manley, Helios, Fender, and more. Integrate with high-end commercial systems, via 7.1 surround sound monitoring and selectable +24 dBu headroom.
Elite-Class A/D and D/A ConversionWith thousands of chart-topping songs and hundreds of Grammy-winning albums under their belt, Apollo interfaces are no strangers to tracking stellar-sounding records. To improve on the previous generation Apollo interfaces 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.
The Apollo X series also introduces new Dual-Crystal clocking featuring dedicated crystals for 44.1/88.2/176.4k and 48/96/192k sample rates resulting in stunningly low jitter, measured at less than 10 picoseconds. This translates into pure, artifact-free recordings and solid stereo imaging you can trust.
With 129 dB dynamic range and -119 dB THD+N, Apollo x8s 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 ProcessingApollo 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 youre 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 plugins provide.
Unison Technology: The Genuine Sound of Neve, API & Manley PreampsPerfect 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 behaviours of the original hardware.
The secret to Unison is its hardware-software integration between Apollos 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 worlds most recorded mic preamps.
Includes ‘Realtime Analog Classics Plus Bundle’With the Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle, you not only get legendary compressors such as the Fairchild 670 and EQs like the Pultec EQP-1A, but also stunning guitar and bass amp emulations from Softube, and UAs landmark 610-B Tube Preamp and EQ plug-in.UA 610B Marshall Plexi Classic Amplifier Fairchild 670 Legacy Teletronix LA2A Legacy UA 1176LN Legacy UA 1176SE Legacy Pultec EQP1A Legacy Pultec Pro Legacy Ampeg SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp Precision Channel Strip Precision Reflection Engine Precision Delay Modulation Precision Delay Modulation L UA Precision Enhancer Hz Raw Distortion RealVerbPro
Access the World of UAD Powered Plug-InsGoing beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-ins, Apollo x8 lets you tap into the full UAD Powered Plug-In library of legendary vintage EQs, compressors, reverbs, tape machines, channel strips, and more at near-zero latency, regardless of your audio softwares buffer size and without taxing your computers CPU.
With exclusive emulations from SSL, Neve, Studer, Manley, Helios, API, Ampex, Lexicon, Fender, and more, its like having a studio full of iconic analog gear, in a single rack space. And unlike competing interfaces, these award-winning DSP-powered plug-ins are also available in your DAW for mixing.
