Universal Audio Apollo Twin X Duo Recording Interface Heritage Edition with Thunderbolt 3

The Universal Audio Apollo Twin X gives musicians and producers elite-class audio conversion with the tone, feel, and flow of analog recording. Letting you record through preamps from Neve, API, Manley, and more with near‑zero latency - Apollo Twin X is born to make records.

Apollo Twin X improves upon the original Apollo Twin’s gold-standard audio quality with completely redesigned AD and DA conversion giving you increased dynamic range and ultra‑low THD. This elite‑class conversion gives you a spacious, organic sound that easily rivals dedicated high‑end converters.

With its two Unison preamps and front panel Hi‑Z instrument input, Apollo Twin X lets you track in real time through preamp and channel strip plug-ins from Neve, Manley, API, and dozens more, giving you the same rich analog texture as the hardware used on decades of iconic music. Out of the box, Apollo Twin X's included plug-ins give you album-ready tones in real time with professional tools like the UA 610-B Tube Preamp and EQ, Teletronix LA-2A tube compressor, amps from Marshall and Ampeg, and more. Plus, Apollo Twin X lets you tap into the entire UAD plug-in library, giving you the proven hit-making sounds of Ocean Way Studios, Capitol Chambers, and hundreds more.

Apollo Twin X works with all major DAWs, but only LUNA Recording System gives you seamless integration with Apollo, for big analog studio sound in real time using a host of built-in features and extensions from API console modeling to genuine Neve summing and integrated Studer tape.
