Apollo Solo USB Heritage Edition

Apollo Solo USB Heritage Edition has all the benefits of the popular Apollo Solo USB, including class-leading UA audio conversion, two Unison mic preamps and SOLO Core realtime UAD plug-in processing. And it goes a step further, with a software suite of five award-winning UAD plug-in titles, featuring Collections from Teletronix, Pultec and UA.

A Special Edition featuring Iconic UAD Analog Collections Onboard
A hallmark feature of Apollo is its Realtime UAD Processing, letting you run the full library of UAD plug-ins at near-zero latency. Taking you a step further, Apollo Solo USB Heritage Edition gives you five premium plug-in titles worth over $1,300—including the full suite of UA's Teletronix and 1176 compressors, all Pultec EQs, UA 610 Unison mic preamps and Pure Plate Reverb. These premium Heritage Edition titles are in addition to Apollo Solo USB's included "Realtime Analog Classics" bundle, giving you one of the most accurate libraries of classic analog emulations included with any professional audio interface. The full UAD plug-in library features more than 100 titles and offers everything from classic Moog filters to Ampex tape to Lexicon reverbs—with more being added regularly. These are the exact same plug-ins used on hit records by Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, Foo Fighters and many more.

Two Unison Preamps: The Sound of Neve, Helios, API, Avalon & More
Apollo Solo USB Heritage Edition features two Unison-enabled mic preamps, letting you track through exacting mic preamp emulations from Neve, API, Manley, SSL, Avalon, Helios and Universal Audio.* A Universal Audio exclusive, Unison is a proprietary hardware-software integration that nails the tone of these sought-after tube and solid-state mic pres—including their input impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and component-level circuit behaviors. Unison technology is also found on Apollo Solo USB's front-panel Hi-Z instrument input, providing dead-on impedance and gain matching for guitar and bass amp models from Fender, Marshall, Ampeg and more.

Built for Musicians, Electronic Producers and Songwriters 
Apollo Solo USB Heritage Edition features robust all-metal construction, best-in-class headphone amplifier and superior audio conversion. It’s perfect for musicians, songwriters and electronic music producers who need UA quality in a compact package.

Get Legendary UA Sound Natively With UAD Spark
Apollo Heritage Editions include plug-ins featured in UAD Spark, UA’s subscription plug-in collection that runs natively on Mac, with no UA hardware required. With UAD Spark, you can expand your plug-in processing power, balancing your DSP load between Apollo and your computer’s onboard processing.

Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Microphone
The flat, 50Hz-20kHz frequency response of the Shure SM7B Microphone with Switchable Response is designed especially for spoken word, but recording engineers have discovered that it's also an exceptional mic for adding body to thin vocals and handling loud rock/metal singers. It also has the ability to tame harsh or sibilant sounds from hi-hat, cymbals, and voice. The SM7B is highly shielded against electrical interference, and includes bass roll-off and mid-range emphasis (presence boost) controls with graphic display, and internal "air suspension" shock isolation. It ships with a standard windscreen and an A7WS detachable windscreen for close-talk applications. Need some convincing that this might be the mic for you? This is the vocal mic, then known as simply the SM7, that Bruce Swedien used to record Michael Jackson's vocals on Thriller, the best-selling album of all time and it's a favorite of Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Peppers as well.

Application note: The SM7B is a low output mic, so plugging direct into an audio interface may not offer enough gain. In such a case you need a preamp with a decent amount of gain. Due to its smooth sound and thickening characteristics, a transparent-sounding preamp will be a preferred choice. (See our Preamp Buying Guide for a thorough discussion of transparent vs. color preamps.)

Shure SRH440 Professional Studio Headphones
The SRH440 Professional Studio Headphones provide exceptional sound reproduction and comfort. Optimized for home and studio recording, SRH440 headphones reproduce accurate audio across an extended range. Impedance, power handling and sensitivity are all calibrated for professional audio devices such as DJ mixers, mixing consoles, and headphone amplifiers. Use them comfortably all day long, thanks to the adjustable headband and quality construction.
