Universal Audio Apollo x8p Heritage Edition 16 x 22 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface with UAD DSP
16-in/22-out, 24-bit/192kHz, Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface with 8 Unison Preamps, LUNA Compatibility, Premium Plug-in Suite, and Realtime Analog Classics Plus Plug-in Package – Mac/PC AAX 64, VST, AU, RTAS
Elite-class AD/DA conversion offers ultra-pristine sound
Apollos have always sounded great, but the Apollo x8p’s AD/DA conversion takes it to the next level. When they were designing the latest generation of Apollos, UA engineers auditioned the latest leading-edge AD/DA technology, ultimately pairing elite-class 24-bit/192kHz converters with overhauled analog circuitry. The result is an ultra-pristine signal path with 129dB dynamic range and –128dB THD+N. Beyond that, Dual Crystal clocking supplies a low-jitter environment for pure, artifact-free recording and solid stereo imaging. Dive in, and you’ll hear for it yourself — the Apollo x8p’s AD/DA rivals any high-end standalone converter on the market.
Sensational plug-in bundle included!
