Apollo Audio Interface
What's Apollo Audio Interface?
"Apollo" is just a high-resolution professional Apollo Audio Interface, universal audio apollo, apollo universal audioaudio interface with exceptional sound quality and Real-time UAD Processing on-board. It features integrated UAD - 2 DSP Acceleration, which lets Apollo to track, mixture, and master with our full library of award winning UAD - 2 Powered PlugIns with nearly immediate sub - 2ms latency. Apollo connects to the computer via FireWire 800, and also has Thunderbolt connectivity via the Thunderbolt Option Card.
UAD-2 Powered Plug-Ins
Apollo was designed to give users the feel and stream of analog recording, while maintaining the benefits of mixing and mastering in a digital audio workstation (DAW). Its included applications turns Apollo into a fully-functioning mixing console and enables users to control its hardware settings remotely, solving longstanding studio workflow and tracking annoyances.
What sort of digital and analog I / O does Apollo have?
Apollo has 8 total analog inputs - 4 digitally controlled analog mic preamps, 8 balanced line inputs, and 2 frontpanels JFET DIs. It has 8 balanced line outs - 14 complete analog outputs, 2 digitally controlled analog screen outs, and 2 dedicated stereo headphone outs. In terms of digital I/O, Apollo has 8 channels of ADAT S/MUX, 2 channels of S/PDIF, and Word Clock I/O with an input signal termination switch.
How can the sound of Apollo compare to other audio interfaces?
Essentially, much better. Apollo was made for uncompromising sonic excellence, as the first audio interface to hold the Universal Audio name. And every part, from Apollo's mike pre-amps to its converters, was carefully chosen to supply both fidelity and transparency. So we could comfortably say that Apollo offers the lowest THD (total harmonic distortion) and widest dynamic range of any such thing in its group - performing at or a lot better than interfaces costing much more.
What exactly is UAD Powered PlugIns?
UAD - 2 Powered Plug-Ins offer character and warm sonic qualities perhaps not found in other plug-ins. Our computer software engineering group comprises a number of the whole world's leading DSP authorities, who undertake thorough physicalmodeling of classic sound hardware. This process ensures that we essentially "reconstruct" classic analog equipment in the digital world. So UAD-2 plugins not merely seem like the first vintage hardware; they behave like the initial devices, at even the most extreme settings. UAD-Powered PlugIns are available for purchase independently via our Online Shop.
What is the operation like on Apollo?
With Apollo, latency is fundamentally indiscernible. Obviously, 1.1 MS is perhaps not an unusual spec when compared to other professional audio interfaces, however it's unheard of to get that degree of latency performance when tracking with plug-ins. With its on-board Realtime UAD Processing, Apollo can retain its lowlatency performance even in sessions, and you can leave your computer at a buffer setting that it can handle.
