Universal Audio Apollo x6 Audio Interface

The Universal Audio Apollo x6 is a premium 16 x 22 Thunderbolt 3 audio interface designed for music producers and post-production studios seeking superior sound quality and versatile recording capabilities. Building upon Universal Audio’s esteemed Apollo series, the Apollo x6 offers elite-class 24-bit/192 kHz audio conversion, delivering an impressive dynamic range of 129 dB and exceptionally low total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of -118 dB. This ensures pristine and detailed audio capture for professional-grade recordings.

Equipped with two Unison-enabled microphone preamps, the Apollo x6 allows users to authentically emulate the sound and behaviour of classic analogue equipment. Unison technology precisely replicates the impedance, gain staging, and circuit characteristics of renowned preamps from Neve, API, Manley, SSL, and more, providing rich analogue textures and tones.

The interface features onboard HEXA Core DSP processing, with six SHARC processors offering 50% more UAD plug-in processing power than previous Apollo models. This enables real-time tracking through Universal Audio’s extensive library of UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, including faithful recreations of vintage compressors, equalisers, tape machines, and guitar amplifiers, allowing for a versatile and inspiring recording experience.

Apollo x6 offers a comprehensive range of connectivity options, including two XLR-1/4″ combo inputs, two front-panel Hi-Z instrument inputs, six line outputs, and two stereo headphone outputs. The front-panel Hi-Z inputs are ideal for direct connection of guitars and basses, while the multiple line outputs facilitate complex routing and monitoring setups. Additionally, the interface provides 5.1 surround sound monitoring support, making it suitable for audio and music production in various formats.

Designed with a sleek and durable rackmount form factor, the Apollo x6 seamlessly integrates into any studio environment. Its dual Thunderbolt 3 ports ensure high-speed data transfer and compatibility with both Mac and Windows systems. Whether you’re tracking, overdubbing, or mixing, the Universal Audio Apollo x6 delivers world-class sound quality and the authentic character of classic analogue recording equipment, empowering you to create music without compromise.
