Universal Audio Apollo x8 Gen 2 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface
Apollo x8 Gen 2 is the 18-in / 24-out rack Apollo, with four Unison preamps and HEXA Core DSP in a single rack unit. The Gen 2 converters run 24-bit / 192 kHz with Dual-Crystal Clocking, and the enhanced D/A monitoring path reaches 130 dB dynamic range at -127 dB THD.
UAD Console runs the interface: Auto-Gain sets preamp levels for you, Plug-In Scenes recall a whole channel setup at once, and Apollo Monitor Correction by Sonarworks measures the room and corrects what you hear through monitors or headphones. The bundle version you choose decides how much of the UAD plug-in library ships with it.
