With its class-leading resolution and Realtime UAD Processing, Apollo Twin USB sets a new standard for desktop music production.
This 2x6 USB 3 interface for Windows allows you to record with near-zero latency through the full range of UAD Powered Plug-Ins — ingeniously merging classic analog tones with cutting-edge features.
Apollo Twin features two Unison-enabled mic preamps, letting you track through exacting mic preamp emulations from Neve, SSL, API, Manley, and Universal Audio. An Apollo exclusive, Unison technology nails the tone of these sought-after tube and solid state mic pres — including their input impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and the component-level circuit behaviors of the original hardware.
The secret to Unison is its hardware-software integration between Apollo’s mic preamps and its onboard UAD-2 DUO Core DSP Acceleration. Simply place a Unison preamp plug-in on your mic input in Apollo Console software, and it physically reconfigures the Apollo interface's impedance — so you can tap into the classic sounds of the world’s most recorded mic preamps.
Right out of the box, Apollo Twin USB provides a suite of incredible analog emulation plug-ins including the world’s only authentic Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN, Pultec EQs, and the Unison-enabled UA 610-B Tube Preamp. Developed by UA’s world-renowned team of algorithm engineers, these Realtime Analog Classic plug-ins set the standard by which all other hardware emulation plug-ins are judged.
From the tube warmth of the Pultec EQ on guitars, to the gentle limiting of the LA-2A on vocals, your recordings will take a giant leap forward in rich, sonically complex analog sound.
Beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins, Apollo Twin USB lets you tap into the full library award-winning UAD Powered Plug-Ins — including vintage EQs, Compressors, Reverbs, Tape Machines and more — at near-zero latency, regardless of your audio software’s buffer size and without taxing your computer’s CPU.
With exclusive emulations from Neve, Studer, Manley, API, Ampex, Lexicon, Fender, and more,† it’s like having an endless analog studio, right on your desktop. And unlike competing interfaces, these DSP-powered plug-ins are also available in your DAW for mixing.
Of course, the heart of any audio interface is the quality of its conversion. In designing the next-generation Apollo range, UA engineers started with an obsessive auditioning of the latest A/D and D/A converters, ultimately pairing the selected 24-bit/192kHz converters with all-new analog circuitry for the optimal signal path. Apollo Twin provides increased dynamic range and lower THD versus other interfaces — rivaling dedicated converters costing thousands more.
Apollo is the confirmed choice of hit-making professionals, used to record landmark albums by Kendrick Lamar (DAMN.), Chris Stapleton (From A Room: Volume 1), Arcade Fire (Everything Now), Post Malone (Beerbongs & Bentleys), and many more. The Apollo range of interfaces has earned numerous industry awards from Sound on Sound, Future Music, and Electronic Musician — as well as the prestigious TEC Award for computer audio hardware five years running.
New for Apollo Twin USB is Unison technology on the front panel instrument input, giving you dead-on, impedance-matched emulations of guitar and bass amps like the Fender '55 Tweed Deluxe, Marshall Plexi Super Lead 1959, and the Ampeg B-15N Bass Amplifier.
With Apollo Twin’s Console 2.0 application — a complete re-imagining of Apollo’s original Console software — you can take advantage of over 25 new user-requested features such as Channel Strip presets, Drag & Drop functionality, dynamically resizable windows, and more.

Univesal Audio са американска компания основана през 1958г. от Бил Путнам. Още от самото начало името на компанията Universal Audio е синоним на новаторски продукти за звукозапис. Любим инженер на Франк Синатра, Нат Кинг Коул, Рей Чарлз и много други, Бил Путнам e страстен новатор, на когото навсякъде се гледа като на бащата на модерния звукозапис. Много от неговите легендарни студийни проекти и оборудване все още се използват и до днес.
През 1999г. синовете на Бил Путнам, Джеймс Путнам и Бил Путнам Джуниър, поемат управлението на компанията и си поставят две главни цели: да произвеждат класическо аналогово оборудване за звукозапис според традициите, завещани от баща им и да проектират нови инструменти за дигитално записване със звученето и духа на старата аналогова технология. С повече от 80 служители и повече от десетилетие бърз растеж, главния офис на Universal Audio (UA) днес се намира близо до Силиконовата Долина, в Scotts Valley, Калифорния, където класическите аналогови устройства все още се правят ръчно, едно по едно.
Разбира се, компанията произвежда не само аналогови устройства. Universal Audio наема едни от най-добрите DSP инженери в света и авторитети в сферата на дигиталното моделиране, които разработват нейната UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform. Тази платформа печели много награди и представя най-автентичните аналогови плъгини в индустрията. Независимо дали е софтуер или хардуер, всеки продукт на UA е подсилен от 50-годишно наследство на новаторство, превъзходно качество и страст към технологиите.
