To improve on the previous generation Apollo interfaces’ class-leading audio conversion, UA engineers obsessively auditioned the latest A\/D and D\/A converters — ultimately pairing elite-class 24-bit\/192 kHz converters with all-new analog circuitry for an ultra-pristine signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Apollo X series also introduces new Dual-Crystal clocking — featuring dedicated crystal oscillators for 44.1\/88.2\/176.4 kHz and 48\/96\/192 kHz sample rates — resulting in stunningly low jitter, measured at less than 10 picoseconds at all sample rates. This translates into pure, artifact-free recordings and solid stereo imaging you can trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 129 dB dynamic range and -119 dB THD+N, Apollo x6’s open, natural sound quality rivals any dedicated high-end converter on the market — regardless of price — and is the perfect starting point for applying UAD processing.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRealtime UAD HEXA Core Processing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApollo x6 features HEXA Core processing, with six DSP chips and 50% more UAD plug-in processing power than previous Apollos. This lets you run more UAD plug-ins, whether you’re tracking in real time with channel strips from Neve, Manley, or API, or running high UAD plug-in counts when mixing in your DAW.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the tube warmth of Pultec EQs on guitars to the musical tube limiting of the LA-2A on vocals, or the pump of a genuine 1176 or Fairchild 670 tube compressor on drums, your recordings will take a giant leap forward with a rich, three-dimensional analog sound that UAD plug-ins provide. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUnison Technology: The Genuine Sound of Neve, API, \u0026amp; Manley Preamps\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for electronic musicians and post production professionals who don’t require tons of mic inputs, Apollo x6 features two Unison-enabled mic preamps, letting you track through exacting mic preamp emulations from Neve, API, Manley, SSL, and Universal Audio. A Universal Audio 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe secret to Unison is its hardware-software integration between Apollo’s mic preamps and its onboard Realtime UAD Processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Full Suite of Classic Analog Processing Onboard\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hallmark feature of Apollo is its Realtime UAD Processing, letting you run the full library of UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency. Apollo x6 includes the Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle, so you can record and mix with the world’s only authentic Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN, and Fairchild compressors, the Unison-enabled UA 610-B Tube Preamp \u0026amp; EQ, and guitar and bass amps from Marshall and Ampeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAccess the World of UAD Powered Plug-Ins\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoing beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics Plus plug-ins, Apollo x6 lets you tap into the full UAD Powered Plug-In library of name-brand vintage EQs, compressors, reverbs, tape machines, channel strips, and more — at near-zero latency, regardless of your audio software’s buffer size and without taxing your computer’s CPU.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith exclusive emulations from Neve, Studer, Manley, API, Ampex, SSL, Lexicon, Fender, and more, it’s like having a studio full of iconic analog gear, in a single rack space. And unlike competing interfaces, these award-winning DSP-powered plug-ins are also available in your DAW for mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSurround Sound Monitoring and +24 dBu Operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith comprehensive 5.1 surround monitoring support, Apollo x6 is a boon for engineers and producers working on audio and music for video games, television, and the web. In addition, Apollo x6 offers selectable +24 dBu operation for out-of-the-box compatibility with professional mixing consoles and other high-end pro audio equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuild a Networked Studio System Over Thunderbolt\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApollo x6 offers 16 x 22 simultaneous inputs\/outputs (6 x 12 analog I\/O) and two built-in Thunderbolt 3 ports, which are backwards-compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 Macs via adapter (sold separately). This allows users of any Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo Twin or Apollo rack mount audio interfaces to easily combine up to four Apollos and six total UAD-2 devices — adding fast, high-bandwidth I\/O and DSP as your studio grows.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450323005543,"sku":"106711","price":3298.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/universal-audio-apollo-x6_106712_1_4_dda503e4-b597-40af-874b-eb4933f56620.jpg?v=1787092585","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/universal-audio-apollo-x6-w-6-uad-plug-ins","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
