Universal Audio Apollo x6 Audio Interface with Thunderbolt 3, 16-In/22-Out

The Universal Audio Apollo x6 Audio Interface with Thunderbolt 3 is an elite-class audio interface designed for creators running project and bedroom studios who demand professional analog tones. This sleek rackmount interface seamlessly blends high-quality A/D and D/A conversion with HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, enabling you to record through legendary preamps from Neve, API, Manley, and more—with near-zero latency. Whether you're working on hit songs or chart-topping albums, Apollo x6 ensures you capture every detail with its proven, open, and natural sonic characteristics, making it an indispensable tool for any serious musician or producer.

With two onboard Unison preamps, the Apollo x6 allows you to track in real-time through iconic preamps and channel strips from top brands such as Neve, SSL, and others. The result is a rich analog texture that mirrors the hardware used on decades of iconic music. Included plug-ins like the UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ and Fairchild compressors provide album-ready tones straight out of the box. Moreover, the entire UAD plug-in library, including Ocean Way Studios and Capitol Chambers, is at your disposal, allowing you to craft the perfect sound for your projects.

Apollo x6 offers excellent integration with all major DAWs, but it really shines with the LUNA Recording System, providing seamless integration for a big analog studio sound in real-time. Additionally, you can link up to four Apollo interfaces to scale up to 156 channels of premium I/O, all controllable from your desktop through Apollo Twin or x4. This makes the Apollo x6 an ideal choice for growing studios looking to expand their capabilities without sacrificing quality.
