The specialist's opinion

The Universal Audio Apollo x16 Gen 2 is designed for professional studios and demanding producers needing 16 channels of high-resolution audio conversion and HEXA Core DSP processing, to connect their studio equipment and manage large sessions with UAD plug-ins from Neve, Manley, Avalon, SSL, Auto-Tune and many others.

With its widest dynamic range and lowest distortion to date, the Apollo x16 is the only audio interface that lets you connect your analog gear and patchbays, while recording and mixing with authentic analog sound in real time via DB-25 connections, with a selectable output level of 24 dBu.

Multichannel mixing up to surround
The Apollo x16 supports mixing formats up to 9.1.6, allowing you to create immersive 16-channel mixes for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio and many others.

Find your ideal workflow
Easily control all your plug-in and monitoring routing via the UAD Console app. With the latest features like Bass Management, immersive audio up to 9.1.6 and Plug-In Scenes, tailor your workflow to your needs.

A hybrid system to match your ambitions
Combine the Apollo x16's HEXA Core DSP processing with your host computer's native processing to produce large sessions with complex plug-in chains - an ultra-high-performance hybrid workflow, far faster than any purely native setup.

Grow your studio at your own Rhythm
Link up to four Apollo x16s for a total of 64 channels of high-quality A/D and D/A conversion, ideal for large-format mixing consoles. Or combine an x16 with other Apollo rack interfaces via Thunderbolt, and control the whole thing from your desk with an Apollo Twin or x4. Wherever your music takes you, an Apollo will always be close at hand.
