The Universal Audio Apollo x16 Gen 2 18x20 Thunderbolt 3 audio interface, available in Essentials+ and Studio+ versions, puts the power of a professional recording studio right in your rack. The x16 Gen 2 offers the highest-resolution A/D and D/A conversion of any Apollo interface for pristine sound quality and connectivity to your analog gear. With its generous DSP and plug-in bundle, you'll have access to iconic analog emulations from Neve, Helios, API and more to craft your mixes.
Pristine Sound Quality
The x16 Gen 2 features Universal Audio's latest generation of A/D and D/A converters for the widest dynamic range and lowest distortion of any Apollo interface. You'll capture every nuance of your recordings and hear the finest details in your mixes. The flagship D/A conversion provides 133dB dynamic range and THD of –129dB for critical listening. With its DB25 connections and switchable +24dBu headroom, the x16 Gen 2 effortlessly interfaces with your studio equipment and patch bays.
Hundreds of Analog Emulations
Powered by HEXA Core Processing, the x16 Gen 2 provides DSP for running hundreds of UAD plug-ins like the LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs and channel strips from API, Neve and SSL. UA's plug-in bundle gives you a generous suite of emulations right out of the box so you can build your mixes with the sound of analog gear used to record iconic albums.
Immersive Monitoring
The x16 Gen 2's Apollo Monitor Correction, powered by Sonarworks, provides speaker calibration for accurate listening in any room. You'll hear how your mixes will translate on different systems with no surprises. The x16 Gen 2 also supports mixing in 3D formats up to 9.1.6 for creating immersive Dolby Atmos, Auro and Sony 360 mixes. With flexible routing and control of your monitors, talkback and plug-in processing in the UAD Console app, you'll find a workflow tailored to your needs.
Hybrid Workflows
The x16 Gen 2 combines onboard HEXA DSP with your computer's native processing for a powerhouse system able to handle large sessions with complex plug-in chains. You get low latency performance for tracking and mixing in your DAW of choice like Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase or LUNA. The x16 Gen 2 is also expandable, linking up to four units for 64 channels of A/D and D/A conversion. For plug-in control and monitoring, use the desktop Apollo Twin or x4 in your studio. Wherever your music takes you, UA's got you covered.
