The Universal Audio Apollo x16 Gen 2 Thunderbolt Audio Interface is a professional 18x20 rack-mount interface designed for high-end tracking, mixing, and immersive audio production.

Boasting next-generation elite-class AD/DA and Dual-Crystal clocking, Universal Audio’s Apollo x16 Gen 2 yields the lowest distortion and widest dynamic range of any Apollo to date. The Apollo x16’s powerful HEXA Core processor provides you with award-winning emulations of tried-and-true studio classics that you can track through in real-time. Of course, you can also combine Apollo x16’s onboard DSP with your host computer’s native processing to create a powerhouse hybrid workflow. Meanwhile, you’ll be able to mix confidently in any room or through headphones using Apollo Monitor Correction (an optional add-on); plus, Bass Management optimizes your subwoofer for maximum low-frequency detail. You’ll find that interfacing the Apollo x16 with your console and other studio gear is a straightforward affair, by virtue of its ample analog I/O and switchable +24dBu operation. Beyond that, you get native support for mixing formats up to 9.1.6, enabling you to tackle Dolby Atmos and other immersive formats with aplomb. Full-featured monitor control with speaker switching and integrated talkback are also in play. Furthermore, the updated UAD Console app enables you to quickly set up low-latency cues, plug-in scenes, and immersive audio monitoring, in addition to lock-tight LUNA integration. You also get near-zero latency and ample expandability, thanks to Apollo x16’s ultra-fast Thunderbolt connectivity. On the fence regarding a performance upgrade? Now is the time to make the jump — Universal Audio’s Apollo is truly better than ever!
