Take Elite-Class Apollo X Sound on Stage
Universal Audio built Apollo x16D for both live sound engineers and networked recording studios. With its 16 channels of Dante I/O, elite-class audio conversion, and HEXA core DSP processing — the world’s most powerful system for running UAD plug-ins in realtime — Apollo x16D seamlessly connects to your digital mixing console, putting over 200 UAD plug-ins right at your fingertips.
Work Fast & Never Lose Your Settings
With its powerful digital mixing engine giving you control over inputs, outputs, and plug-in routing — Apollo x16D makes it easy to quickly build your mix and control entire effects chains in realtime. Then quickly recall your plug-in settings over MIDI, all without interrupting the performance.
Hundreds of Effects, One Rack Space
Apollo x16D comes in two editions, both delivering a generous suite of UAD plug-ins right out of the box. Build your mix with classic Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, and Neve channel strips to modern favorites from Auto-Tune, Avalon, and more.
Expand Your Studio Over Dante
Link up to four x16Ds to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy. Or expand your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio over Dante — the most low-latency and scalable audio network available. This means that if you’ve been considering making the switch to a networked recording studio, or you simply want to grow to a multi-room setup, you don’t have to start from scratch.
Mix Down to Surround
After the show, bring Apollo x16D back to the studio, where it becomes your all‑in‑one monitoring hub for mixing formats up to 9.1.6 with multi-channel immersive Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks.® This allows you to easily create 16‑channel immersive audio mixes of live sets or studio recordings for Dolby Atmos, Auro‑3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.
