General

With the Apollo x8P, Universal Audio serve up a supreme unit among audio interfaces. This model comes armed with eight Unison enabled microphone preamps that support emulations of iconic preamps from legendary names like Neve, API and Manley. Universal Audio has been busy for over sixty years now, and since this interface represents the pinnacle of all that hard work, you're assured of unparalleled AD/DA conversion, seamless integration with renowned DSP effects and progressively modern ease-of-use - all courtesy of a hex-core DSP engine.

Brutal Power x 6

Since this is a Thunderbolt 3 interface, everything happens ultra-fast, latency is never an issue and 7.1 surround sound is fully supported. A complete real-time UAD plugin suite comes included, stacking up state-of-the-art compressors, EQs , preamps and guitar and bass amplifiers. Up to four Apollo x8Ps can be linked and cascaded to gain even more DSP power, backing up more complex tasks, and you can even add another two other UAD interfaces into the mix to complete the ultimate mixing and mastering ecosystem, where everything happens in the hardware, leaving your computer's CPU free to focus on other important things.

Unison Tech = Hyper-Real Performance

This Unison-enabled preamps make a few things possible. For a start, as soon as you plug in, the impedance is automatically adjusted to match the impedance of the hardware the selected plugin is design to emulate. This means that, whether you're plugging in a microphone, guitar or bass, you're getting the dynamic response and sonic colour of some of the greatest hardware to come out of the golden-age of studio recording. You can not only monitor these preamp emulations in real-time, but record them, resulting in album-ready recordings every time.
