Apollo x6 equips music producers and post-production studios with new, world-leading A/D and D/A converters, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing and 5.1 surround sound monitoring* - all in one elegant Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for Mac**or PC. This 16 x 22 interface is based on UA's 60 years of experience in designing and manufacturing audio devices. It features two Unison™-enabled microphone preamps that enable authentic preamp emulations from Neve, API, Manley, Helios, SSL, and others. The all-new HEXA Core Plug-In Processing means 50% more DSP power for real-time UAD Powered plug-ins during recording and mixing.
In addition to outstanding audio conversion, Apollo x6 features selectable level compatibility with professional +24 dBu devices as well as an integrated monitor controller and built-in talkback microphone.
*Surround sound support for Apollo X available from Q4 2018
**Apollo X compatibility with Mac Pro (late 2013 and later) available from Q4 2018
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 x6 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.
Apollo x6 features the new HEXA Core Processing, with six DSP chips and 50% more processing power for UAD plug-ins than previous Apollos. That's why more UAD plug-ins can be used, whether you're working with Neve, Manley, or API channel strips in real time, or using a variety of UAD plug-ins in your DAW while mixing. 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.
Apollo x6 is the ideal solution for electronic musicians and post-production professionals who don't work with a huge number of microphone inputs. It features two Unison-enabled microphone preamps that let you record over detailed microphone preamp emulations from Neve, API, Manley, SSL, and Universal Audio. 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.
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 x6 comes with the Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle - including the world's only true to original 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 Marshall and Ampeg.
Apollo x6 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 - virtually 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.
With comprehensive support for 5.1 surround monitoring, Apollo x6 is a boon to engineers and producers working on audio and music for games, television and the Internet. In addition, Apollo x6 offers selectable +24 dBu operation for pre-configured compatibility with professional mixers and other high-quality pro audio devices.
Apollo x6 offers 16 x 22 simultaneously usable inputs and outputs (6 x 6 analog I / O) two integrated Thunderbolt 3 ports, which are downward compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 Macs via an adapter (sold separately). This allows any Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo Twin Desktop or Apollo Rack interface (up to four Apollos) and a total of six UAD-2 devices to be easily combined with each other - and the system can be expanded with additional fast I/Os and DSPs with high bandwidth as the demand in the studio grows.
*The latest generation of Apple Mac Pro computers (Late 2013 "black cylinder" models) are now compatible with all Apollo X Series audio interfaces when using the latest UAD software. For details, see this KB article.
