Universal Audio Apollo x8p Gen 2 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface

Apollo x8p Gen 2 trades line inputs for preamps: eight Unison channels, 16 inputs and 22 outputs, and HEXA Core DSP. It is the Apollo to reach for when the session is a drum kit or a live band and every input needs its own modeled preamp rather than a shared pair.

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.
