Thunderbolt 3 audio interface

Apollo x16 enables music producers, project and post production studios to record, overdub and mix with new world-leading A/D and D/A converters, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing and 7.1 surround sound monitoring* - all in one elegant Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for Mac** or PC.

This 18 x 20 interface is based on UA's 60 years of experience in developing and manufacturing audio devices. It offers the largest dynamic range (133 dB) and the lowest THD +N (-129dB) of any integrated audio interface on the market. The completely new HEXA Core Plug-In Processing means 50% more DSP performance for the real-time use of the celebrated UAD Powered Plug-Ins.

In addition to outstanding audio conversion, Apollo x16 features selectable level compatibility with professional +24 dBu devices as well as an integrated monitor controller and built-in talkback microphone.

Note: This product variant is a shipping return, which is offered at a reduced price.

  • Experience outstanding A/D and D/A conversion with the widest dynamic range and lowest signal-to-noise ratio of any integrated audio interface on the market.
  • Record and mix using powerful HEXA Core signal processing - with 6 UAD DSP chips for real-time operation of additional award-winning UAD Powered plug-ins
  • Easy connection to professional studio equipment with 16 x 16 analog inputs and outputs via DB-25 connectors, plus switchable +24 / +20 dBu headroom settings
  • Work in surround formats up to 7.1*, complete with speaker calibration and downmix *Surround Sound support for Apollo X from Q4 2018 onwards

Outstanding A/D and D/A conversion

With thousands of chart recorded songs and hundreds of Grammy-awar-winning albums in a trophy cabinet, Apollo Interfaces have already proven their first-class suitability for recording exceptionally good-sounding records. In order to improve the first-class audio conversion of the previous generation Apollo interfaces, UA engineers meticulously listened to and evaluated the latest A/D and D/A converters, finally merging the selected 24-bit/192 kHz converters with a completely new analog circuit to create an optimally unaltered signal path.

Thanks to a dynamic range of 133 dB and -128 dB THD +N, the Apollo x16's open, natural sound quality surpasses any interface in its class and is the perfect starting point for further sound enhancement with the award-winning UAD plug-ins.

Realtime UAD HEXA Core Processing

Apollo x16 features the new HEXA Core Processing, with six DSP chips and 50% more processing power for UAD plug-ins than previous Apollos. Therefore, more UAD plug-ins can be used, regardless of whether you are API working with Neve channel strips in real time, working with Neve, Manley or mixing in your DAW using a variety of UAD plug-ins.

From the warm tube sound of the Pultec EQ for guitars to the musical limiting of the LA-2A for vocals to the pumping of an original 1176 or Fairchild 670 tube compressor for drums, the UAD plug-ins give your recordings the powerful, three-dimensional analog sound that no other plug-in can match.

A comprehensive range of classic analog studio tools

An outstanding feature of Apollo is the UAD real-time processing, with which you can use the entire UAD Plug-Ins library almost latency-free. The Apollo x16 comes with the Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle - including the world's only true-to-life emulations of Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN and Fairchild compressors, the Unison UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ as well as guitar and bass amps from and Marshall .

Discover the world of UAD Powered Plug-Ins

Apollo x16 goes beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-ins and gives you access to the complete UAD Powered Plug-In library of well-known manufacturers with Vintage EQs, compressors, reverbs, tape machines, channel strips and more - almost latency-free, regardless of the buffer size of your audio software and without loading the CPU of your computer.

With exclusive emulations from Neve, Studer , Manley , , API , Ampex, Lexicon , Fender and anderen†, it's like having a coveted studio full of legendary analog devices in a single 19" rack unit. Unlike competing interfaces, these DSP -based plug-ins are also available for mixing in the DAW.

Surround Sound Monitoring* and +24 dBu operation

With comprehensive support for surround monitoring up to 7.1 format, Apollo x16 is a blessing for engineers and producers working on audio and music for games, television and the Internet. In addition, Apollo x8p offers selectable +24 dBu operation for pre-configured compatibility with professional mixers and other high-quality pro audio devices.
