Universal Audio Apollo X8 Gen 2 Studio+
The Universal Audio Apollo X8 Gen 2 Studio+ 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 combines 24-bit / 192 kHz Elite-Class conversion, powerful DSP processing and flexible monitoring features for modern studios.
Powered by a HEXA-Core DSP engine, 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 using classic hardware emulations such as 1176 compressors, LA-2A limiters and Pultec EQs without relying on the computer’s CPU.
The Studio+ edition includes an extended software bundle with more than 50 premium UAD plug-ins, providing a complete recording and mixing environment straight out of the box.
Sound Character
The Apollo X8 Gen 2 delivers highly transparent audio reproduction with exceptional dynamic range and extremely low distortion.
Its Unison™ microphone preamps dynamically adapt impedance and gain staging to match the characteristics of classic analog hardware, enabling engineers to track through authentic preamp emulations in real time.
Combined with powerful DSP processing and flexible routing options, the interface provides a versatile platform for professional recording and mixing workflows.
