Apollo X Heritage Edition. Designed for Excellence in Every Detail.

Apollo x is Universal Audio?s flagship line of Thunderbolt 3 audio interfaces for Mac and Windows, featuring elite-class A/D and D/A conversion, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, Dual-Crystal clocking, Unison mic preamps, +24dBu operation, surround sound monitoring, and more. Apollo interfaces have helped craft thousands of hit songs and hundreds of Grammy-winning albums. To improve on the audio conversion of previous generation Apollo interfaces, UA engineers obsessively auditioned the latest A/D and D/A converters ? ultimately pairing elite-class 24-bit/192 kHz converters with all-new analog circuitry for an ultra-pristine signal path.

The Apollo x series also introduces new Dual-Crystal clocking ? featuring dedicated crystals for 44.1/88.2/176.4k and 48/96/192k sample rates ? resulting in stunningly low jitter, measured at less than 10 picoseconds. This translates into pure, artifact-free recordings and solid stereo imaging that you can trust. With 129 dB dynamic range and -119 dB THD+N, Apollo X?s open, natural sound rivals any dedicated high-end converter on the market and is the perfect starting point for applying UAD processing.

Apollo x Heritage Edition has all the benefits of the acclaimed Apollo x series, including world-beating A/D and D/A conversion, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, Unison-enabled mic preamps, and full LUNA Recording System integration, but goes a step further with a software suite of 10 award-winning UAD plug-in titles, featuring Collections from Helios, Fairchild, Teletronix, Pultec, and UA.
