Apollo Twin X's DUO DSP allows you to record and mix with UAD plug-ins in real time, including vintage emulations from Neve, Helios, API and more. Shape vocals and instruments through the Helios Type 69 preamp, add punch with the Precision Channel Strip or warm up a track with the UA 610-A Preamp & EQ.

A Hybrid System for Professional Workflows

Apollo Twin X combines onboard DUO DSP with processing power from your computer for a hybrid system that can handle complex sessions with many UAD plug-ins. Use the DUO DSP for tracking and mixing, then print your UAD plug-in processing to free up resources for native plug-ins. This powerhouse system provides an analog-style workflow with the versatility of a native setup.
