Eight Unison Preamps

The Apollo x8p's eight Unison preamps let you track through emulations of Neve, API and Universal Audio preamps for authentic analog tone. With Unison, the physical impedance of the preamp changes to match the emulated unit's design so you'll capture the same rich harmonics and textures heard on countless hit records. Add a UAD channel strip plug-in for a complete signal chain in your DAW.

Mix and Monitor With Pristine Fidelity

The Apollo x8p features Universal Audio's latest generation of elite-class converters for stunning resolution and dynamic range. With 130dB of dynamic range and THD of -127dB, you'll hear every nuance of your recordings. The redesigned monitor outs provide an ultrawide frequency response so you can make balanced mix decisions. Calibrate your monitors using the built-in Sonarworks correction (coming soon) for accurate reference in any environment.
