Universal Audio Apollo x8 Gen 2 and Studio+ Thunderbolt Audio Interface

---

Boasting next-generation elite-class AD/DA and Dual-Crystal clocking, Universal Audio’s Apollo x8 Gen 2 yields the lowest distortion and widest dynamic range of any Apollo to date. The Apollo x8’s powerful HEXA Core processor provides you with award-winning emulations of tried-and-true studio classics that you can track through in real-time using UA’s vaunted Unison preamp technology. Of course, you can also combine Apollo x8’s onboard DSP with your host computer’s native processing to create a powerhouse hybrid workflow. Meanwhile, you’ll be able to mix confidently in any room or through headphones using Apollo Monitor Correction; plus, Bass Management optimizes your subwoofer for maximum low-frequency detail. You’ll never miss a take again, courtesy of Apollo x8’s Auto-Gain feature, which sets your levels across multiple inputs. Beyond that, you get native support for mixing formats up to 7.1, enabling you to tackle surround sound and other multichannel formats with aplomb. Full-featured monitor control with speaker switching and integrated talkback are also in play. Furthermore, the updated UAD Console app enables you to quickly set up low-latency cues, plug-in scenes, and immersive audio monitoring, in addition to lock-tight LUNA integration. You also get near-zero latency and ample expandability, thanks to Apollo x8’s ultra-fast Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. Finally, this bundle features Universal Audio's UAD Studio+ Edition plug-in collection. This outstanding software bundle outfits you with 58 titles spanning EQs, compressors, delays, reverbs, and more, arming you with a top-tier cache of industry-standard tools. On the fence regarding a performance upgrade? Now is the time to make the jump — Universal Audio’s Apollo is truly better than ever!
