Universal Audio Apollo X8 Gen 2 Essentials+
The Universal Audio Apollo X8 Gen 2 Essentials+ is a professional 18×24 Thunderbolt audio interface with integrated UAD DSP processing, designed for high-end recording, mixing and production environments. The second-generation Apollo X platform features improved 24-bit / 192 kHz Elite-Class conversion, enhanced monitoring tools and modern workflow features for professional studios.
Powered by a HEXA-Core DSP system, the interface includes six SHARC processors that allow engineers to run UAD plug-ins in real time during recording. This enables authentic analog-style processing without placing additional load on the computer CPU.
The Essentials+ edition includes a comprehensive plug-in bundle with more than 20 UAD effects and processors, including classic channel strips, compressors and EQs for professional recording workflows.
Sound Character
The Apollo X8 Gen 2 delivers highly transparent audio reproduction with exceptional dynamic range and very low distortion.
Its Unison™ microphone preamps dynamically adapt impedance and gain staging to match the characteristics of classic analog hardware, allowing engineers to track through authentic preamp emulations in real time.
