Universal Audio Apollo Twin USB Audio Interface Overview

Poised to be the center of a Windows-based home studio or mobile rig, the Universal Audio Apollo Twin USB Heritage Edition desktop 10×6 USB audio interface combines the sound, feel, and flow of analog studio recording with powerful DUO Core real-time UAD processing and a hearty bundle of 25 stellar UAD plug-ins.

Furnished with 24-bit / 192 kHz converters performing well beyond the interface’s price point, the Apollo Twin USB gives musicians, producers, songwriters, and audio engineers the appreciable value of clear, high-resolution recording and mixing with low distortion (-110 dB) and great dynamic range (118 dB).

The interface features two XLR-1/4″ mic/line combo inputs and a 1/4″ Hi-Z input, all with Unison integration for precise UAD emulations of classic analog preamps—impart vintage character of your choosing on microphone and instrument recordings while bypassing the unpredictable nature of old equipment.

Heritage Edition

The Heritage Edition features the same Apollo Twin USB interface found in the standard edition, but with more plug-ins. The standard Apollo Twin USB includes the Realtime Analog Classics bundle (14 plug-ins), and the Heritage Edition adds 11 more plug-ins for a total of 25 revered UA-powered plug-ins.

The Power of Apollo

  • Track, overdub, and mix with high-resolution AD/DA conversion and DSP-powered plug-ins
  • DUO Core UAD processing for tracking through models of vintage compressors, EQs, tape machines, mic preamps, and guitar amps with near-zero latency and no burden on your computer’s CPU
  • Unison technology nails the tone of sought-after tube and solid-state mic pres including their input impedance, gain-stage sweet spots, and the component-level circuit behaviors of the original hardware
  • USB 3.0 connectivity for Windows computers (USB 3.0 SuperSpeed cable included)
  • Convenient desktop form factor with reliable AC powering (external power supply included)
  • Free, industry-leading phone/online technical support from knowledgeable audio engineers

I/O for the Studio

  • 10×6 audio interface with two Unison-enabled microphone preamps (via XLR-1/4″ combo mic/line inputs), providing emulations of classic analog preamps with near-zero latency
  • One front-panel, Unison-enabled 1/4″ Hi-Z input for direct connection of a guitar, bass, or keyboard
  • Stereo 1/4″ monitor output and one 1/4″ headphone output, each with dedicated level control
  • Two additional 1/4″ line-level outputs, may be used for alternate monitor outputs
  • Add up to eight extra input channels via one TOSLINK optical ADAT port (may alternatively be used for stereo S/PDIF)

Expandable DSP

  • Use alongside UAD-2 PCIe DSP Accelerator cards, UAD-2 Satellite FireWire, and UAD-2 Satellite USB for truly scalable mixing power
