Universal Audio Apollo X8P

Universal Audio Apollo X8P Product Details

Description

Apollo x8p enables sound engineers, music producers and project studios to record, overdub and mix with new world-leading A/D and D/A converters, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing and 7.1 surround sound monitoring. An outstanding feature of Apollo is the UAD real-time processing, with which you can use the entire UAD Plug-Ins library almost latency-free. The Apollo x8p comes with the Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle - with the world's only true to original emulations of Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN and Fairchild compressors, the Unison UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ as well as guitar and bass amplifiers from Marshall and Ampeg. Apollo x8p goes beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-ins and gives you access to the complete UAD Powered plug-in library from renowned manufacturers with vintage EQs, compressors, reverbs, tape machines, channel strips and more - virtually latency-free, regardless of the buffer size of your audio software, and without putting any load on your computer's CPU. With exclusive emulations from Neve, Studer, Manley, API, Ampex, Lexicon, Fender and anderen†, it's like owning a coveted studio full of legendary analog equipment in a single 19" rack unit. Unlike competing interfaces, these DSP-based plug-ins are also available for mixing in the DAW. Apollo x8p offers 18 x 22 simultaneous inputs/outputs (8 x 8 analog I/Os) and two integrated Thunderbolt 3Ports This allows any Thunderbolt equipped Apollo Twin Desktop or Apollo Rack interface (up to four Apollos) and a total of six UAD-2 devices to be easily combined with each other - and the system can be expanded with additional fast I/Os and DSPs with high bandwidth as studio demand grows.
