Universal Audio has unveiled their brand new Apollo X Gen 2 line of interfaces, a complete redesign of the company’s award‑winning range of desktop and rackmount Thunderbolt audio interfaces.
The Apollo X Gen 2 offers a slew of new features like a Gen 2 Thunderbolt rackmount and desktop audio interfaces with HEXA, QUAD, DUO Core DSP plug‑in processing alongside elite-class converters with 24‑bit/192 kHz resolution.
The onboard DSP supports over 200 UAD plug-ins via VST, AU, and AAX 64 formats in all major DAWs while the interface itself includes up to 100+ UAD plug-ins with Essentials+, Studio+ or Ultimate+ Editions. There are also Unison mic preamps, Hi‑Z instrument inputs, optical Toslink I/O (ADAT or S/PDIF), AES I/O and Dante I/O on select models.
The Apollo X Gen 2 is compatible with LUNA, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, and more, and is expandable with Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces or select models over Dante.
“We believe that the very best audio tools can ‘disappear,’ and feel like they are simply a part of the creative process,” said Bill Putnam Jr., CEO of Universal Audio. “The new Apollo X interfaces are about pushing that concept further – bringing the best of analog and digital sounds together in a way that’s both inspiring and seamless, to let your music take center stage.”
The new Apollo X Gen 2 models are available here starting at $1,199.
