General

The tight Apollo Twin X Duo desktop audio interface from Universal Audio runs via an ultra-fast Thunderbolt 3 connection and supports in-hardware Neve, API and Manley preamp and channel strip emulations to reduce the load on your computer. All of this is made possible by exclusive Unison technology: a preamp section that's controlled by an extremely powerful DSP and enables real-time recording via some of the world's most iconic preamps and EQ units - each plucked out of the golden age that was the sixties and seventies. The Unison tech applies to both the Hi-Z and microphone inputs, and to gain even more DSP power, multiple UAD interfaces can even be coupled and cascaded to stack up a total of 142 audio channels, all of which can be tweaked from the comfort of your desktop.

Included Plugins and the LUNA Recording System

Alongside the Apollo Twin X Duo interface, Universal Audio throw in a hefty plugin bundle, so you also get Teletronix LA-2A, Pultec® EQP-1A, the full Softube bass and guitar amplifier suite and UA's own 610-B Tube Preamp and EQ. Next to that, UA has included their own in-house developed DAW: LUNA. This platform is a seamless fit for Unison, ensuring smooth Apollo Series interface integration. If you want to try before you buy, you can even download LUNA for free, right now, and what you get in return is built-in features like API console modelling extensions and Neve summing, as well as an integrated Studer tape machine - basically, everything required for every point of the recording, mixing and mastering phase.
