The Apollo 16 MkII is the flagship of Universal Audio ́s world-renowned Apollo series of audio interfaces for Mac and Windows. The Apollo 16 MkII gives project and commercial recording studios a superior A/D & D/A conversion with the sound and feel of classic analogue recordings.
The Apollo 16 MkII represent Universal Audio's 60 years of experience in the development and manufacturing of audio equipment. It features 16 analogue I/O, UAD-2 QUAD core processing and the included award-winning UAD plug-in bundle - all plugins can be used for virtually latency-free recording and sound processing like in a classic analogue studio without hitting the computer CPU.
Next Generation of A/D & D/A Conversion
The first Apollo interface quickly became the standard interface among modern music producers and sound engineers who recorded hundreds of hits. The Apollo 16 continues to raise the studio standard with it’s completely newly developed industry-leading A/D and D /A converters. It offers 2dB more dynamic range for A/D conversion and even 8 dB more for D/A conversion than the original Apollo. The converters were tuned following really high standards and the sound quality of the Apollo 16 MkII is extremely high.
Comprehensive Range of Classic Analogue Processing Integrated
The Apollo 16 MkII delivers a plug-in palette of incredible analogue emulation, including Teletronix, LA-2A, 1176LN and Fairchild compressors, the legendary Pultec EQs and the Unison-compatible UA 610-B Tube Preamp. Developed by the world-renowned engineers at UA, these Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins set the standard by which all other hardware emulating plug-ins are judged.
Enter the World of UAD Powered Plug-Ins
In addition to the included Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins bundle, you can dive into the complete catalogue of award-winning UAD plug-ins including classic EQs, compressors, reverb, tape machines and more.
With exclusive emulations of Neve, Studer, Manley, API, Ampex, Lexicon and Fender it's like having a huge analogue studio on a single 19" rack unit. Unlike competing interfaces, these DSP-based plug-ins are also available for mixing in your DAW.
The Apollo 16 MkII is the ideal interface for professional recording studios.

The Apollo 16 MkII is ideal for connection to mixing consoles or other outboard processors.
Real-Time Processing for Recording, Mixing & Mastering with UAD Plug-Ins
The Apollo 16 MkII sound is very open and transparent and can easily deliver a wide range of classic analogue sounds using its real-time UAD processing. The extremely powerful UAD-2 QUAD processing, the Apollo DSP’s, allows you to record with the UAD Plug-Ins with a latency of less than 2ms.
