The Universal Audio Apollo Twin X QUAD 10x6 Gen 2 Thunderbolt 3 audio interface, available in Essentials+ and Studio+ versions, lets you achieve professional-quality recordings in your home studio. With next-generation audio conversion, dual Unison preamps and QUAD Core DSP, you can record in real time through emulations of gear from Neve, Manley, API and more. Trusted by top artists, the Apollo Twin X brings timeless sound and craftsmanship to your desktop.

Hear Every Detail Like Never Before

Now in its second generation, the Apollo Twin X features the highest resolution D/A converters Universal Audio has ever offered, paired with Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks. When you play back audio through monitors or headphones, you'll hear the most pristine representation of your recordings with no surprises when mixing or mastering.

Find Your Creative Flow

Like an analog studio console, the Apollo Twin X has a powerful digital mixing engine where you control plug-in routing and monitoring. Features like Auto-Gain, Bass Management and Plug-In Scenes make it easy to find a workflow suited to your needs. Combine the Apollo Twin X's QUAD Core DSP with native processing from your DAW host for a hybrid system that outpaces any native-only setup.

Expand Your Studio Over Time

Build your studio by linking up to four Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces for up to 128 channels of premium I/O, all controlled from your Apollo Twin X. No matter where your music takes you, Apollo will grow with your needs. The Apollo Twin X comes with the LUNA Recording System, Universal Audio's fully integrated music production environment, and is also compatible with major DAWs like Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live and Cubase.

Included UAD Plug-In Bundle

Right out of the box, the Apollo Twin X provides access to compressors, EQs, tape machines, channel strips and guitar amp/pedal emulations used in professional studios worldwide. It includes the UAD Essentials Bundle with plug-ins like the LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs and Oxide Tape. You can expand your palette with UA's library of over 200 plug-ins, including vintage emulations from Neve, Manley, Studer, Marshall and more.
