Universal Audio Apollo x16 Gen2 Ultimate+

 

 
 
 

Experience the gold standard in audio recording.

The next generation of Apollo x16 is here — built for pro studios and serious music producers who need 16 channels of highest-resolution audio conversion and HEXA Core DSP processing for connecting your studio equipment and producing large sessions with UAD plug-ins from Neve, Manley, Avalon, SSL, Auto-Tune, and hundreds more.

  • Connect your studio gear with 16 x 16 analog I/O via DB-25 connections with switchable +24 dBu headroom settings  
  • Use onboard HEXA Core DSP to record and mix large sessions using UAD plug-ins in realtime  
  • Create immersive audio mixes up to 9.1.6 for Dolby Atmos, Auro‑3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others  
  • Work faster with new UAD Console features including Auto-Gain, Plug-In Scenes, Monitor Controller, Immersive Audio, and more
  • Mix with confidence in any room or through headphones using Apollo Monitor Correction by Sonarworks®
  • Get included UAD plug-ins from Auto-Tune, Fairchild, Teletronix, and more with Essentials+ or Ultimate+ Editions

Connect to Award-Winning Sound

With widest dynamic range and lowest distortion ever, Apollo x16 is the only audio interface that connects to your analog gear and patchbays, letting you record and mix with authentic analog sounds in realtime over DB-25 connections with selectable +24 dBu operation.

Hear the Details Like Never Before

Now in its Gen 2 design, Apollo x16 features our highest-resolution A/D and D/A converters to date. And when paired with new features like Apollo Monitor Correction by Sonarworks,* this means you’ll hear the most accurate representation of your recordings when mixing through monitors or headphones.

Mix Down to Surround

Apollo x16 supports mixing formats up to 9.1.6, so you can create 16‑channel immersive audio mixes for Dolby Atmos, Auro‑3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.

Add Hundreds of Effects to Your Rack

Apollo x16 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, API and SSL channel strips to modern favorites from Auto-Tune, Avalon, and dozens more.

Find Your Perfect Workflow

Easily control all your plug-in routing and monitoring in the UAD Console app. And with the latest features like Bass Management, Immersive Audio up to 9.1.6, and Plug-In Scenes, it’s easy to find a flow that fits your needs.

A Hybrid System for Your Mission

Combine Apollo x16’s HEXA Core DSP with native processing from your host computer to produce large sessions with complex plug-in chains — a powerhouse hybrid workflow that outpaces any native-only recording setup.

Expand Your Studio as You Grow

Link up to four Apollo x16’s for 64 channels of elite-class A/D and D/A conversion, perfect for interfacing with large format recording consoles. Or stack one x16 with other Thunderbolt Apollo rackmount units and control it all from your desktop using Apollo Twin or x4. So no matter how far your music takes you, an Apollo will always be in reach.
