It features four Unison™-enabled microphone preamps that enable authentic Neve, API , , Manley , Helios, SSL, and other preamp emulations. The all-new HEXA Core Plug-In Processing means 50% more DSP performance for the real-time use of UAD Powered plug-ins during recording and mixing.

  • Record and mix using powerful HEXA Core signal processing - with 6 UAD DSP chips for real-time use of additional award-winning UAD Powered plug-ins
  • Virtually latency-free with Unison™ technology to record preamp emulations from Neve, API , Manley , , Fender and others*
  • Professional studio equipment with switchable +24 / +20 dBu headroom settings can be connected without problems

  • Integrated talkback microphone for easy communication and recording of audio notes or additional takes

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 129 dB and -118 dB THD +N, it takes up the open, natural sound quality of the Apollo x8 with every dedicated high-end converter on the market and is the perfect starting point for further sound enhancement with the award-winning UAD plug-ins.

Realtime UAD HEXA Core Processing

Apollo x8 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.

Unison™ Technology: The original sound of Neve's preamplifiers, API and Manley

Ideal for musicians, sound engineers, producers and sound designers, Apollo x8 offers four Unison-enabled microphone preamps that let you Universal Audio record over detailed Neve, API , , Manley , SSL and microphone preamp emulations. Exclusive to Apollo Interfaces, the Unison technology reproduces the tonal colour of these coveted tube and transistor microphone preamps in 100% detail - including the input impedance, the amplification stage's sweet spots and the circuitry on the component level of the original hardware. The secret of Unison lies in the hardware-software integration between Apollo ́s microphone preamps and the integrated UAD real-time processing.

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 x8 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 x8 goes beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-ins and gives you access to the complete UAD Powered plug-in library from renowned 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.
