Universal Audio Apollo x4 Gen 2 Essentials+ 12x18 Thunderbolt Audio Interface with UAD DSP

Boasting next-generation elite-class AD/DA, Universal Audio’s Apollo x4 Gen 2 yields the lowest distortion and widest dynamic range of any desktop Apollo to date. The Apollo x4’s powerful onboard plug-in processing provides you with award-winning emulations of tried-and-true studio classics that you can track through in real-time using UA’s vaunted Unison preamp technology. Of course, you can also combine Apollo x4’s onboard DSP with your host computer’s native processing to create a powerhouse hybrid workflow. Meanwhile, you’ll be able to mix confidently in any room or through headphones using Apollo Monitor Correction; plus, Bass Management optimizes your subwoofer for maximum low-frequency detail. You’ll never miss a take again, courtesy of Apollo x4’s Auto-Gain feature, which sets your levels across multiple inputs. Full-featured monitor control with speaker switching and integrated talkback are also in play. Furthermore, the updated UAD Console app enables you to quickly set up low-latency cues, plug-in scenes, and immersive audio monitoring, in addition to lock-tight LUNA integration. You also get near-zero latency and ample expandability, thanks to Apollo x4’s ultra-fast Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. On the fence regarding a performance upgrade? Now is the time to make the jump — Universal Audio’s Apollo is truly better than ever!
