Product Description

With the Apollo Twin Duo MkII Universal Audio have improved on the formula of one of their most popular interfaces. With enhanced audio conversion the Apollo Twin Duo MkII offers analogue-style tone and feel for digital recording.

The Apollo series is the industry standard for recording artists, offering some of the best studio quality A/D and D/A conversion borrowed from their high-end rackmount units. Add in UAD’s acclaimed analogue emulation plug-ins bundle powered by DUO Core processing and you’ve got everything you need to lay down tracks straight out the box.

Preamps

UAD use Unison mic preamps, which allow you to emulate iconic Neve, API, Manley and UA preamp characteristics. There’s plenty of sought-after tube and solid-state tones to discover through each pre’s impedance and gain sage sweet spots.

Plug-ins

You’ll be hard-pressed to find an interface that includes as many great plug-ins as the Apollo range. The Realtime Analog Classics suite is sure to spice up your sound, packing guitar and bass amps from the likes of Marshall and Ampeg. Choose from an array of compressors, EQs, tape delay and reverb all powered seamlessly by the Duo Core processor.

Connectivity

The Apollo Twin X is built to be the centrepiece of your recording setup. In addition to its two mic/line preamps and Hi-Z input are out two line outs, left and right monitor outputs, monitor controls, a talkback function, and a headphone out.

There’s also room to expand. The Apollo Twin X can combine up to four Thunderbolt Apollos for further connection options as your studio grows.

LUNA DAW Included

Mac users of Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo can now use Universal Audio's digital audio workstation, LUNA. Apollo interfaces are fully compatible with any DAW of your choosing, but UA have designed LUNA to specifically get the most out of the Apollo series. With Accelerated Realtime Monitoring for seamless hardware-software integration, you can capture audio through UAD plugins with virtually no latency. UA have worked with some of the biggest names in audio to load LUNA with great sounding instruments and extensions. Enjoy high-quality extensions such as the Studer multitrack tape and Neve Summing, as well as instruments from Moog, UA, Spitfire Audio and more!

The Apollo sounds great. Only gripe is on install, Universal Audio install all their plug ins not just the ones you get full copies of. Now I've got dozens of demo clogging up my vst folders

UAD’s plugins are well know and of course the UAD2 twin x does exactly what is says on the tin. Without doubts the pre amps on these cards are well worth the money.
