Universal Audio has released the Apollo Twin USB High-Resolution Desktop Interface with Realtime UAD Processing for Windows-based recording systems using USB 3.
The 2x6 USB audio interface combines high-quality 192kHz, 24-bit audio conversion with onboard Realtime UAD-2 Duo Processing. With its ergonomic desktop design, rugged aluminium construction, and front panel headphone and instrument connections, Apollo Twin USB allows Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 users to record in real time (at near-zero latency) through the full range of UAD Powered Plug-Ins from Neve, Studer, Manley, Marshall and API among others.
Apollo Twin USB also features Unison technology, which allows its mic preamps and front-panel DIs to sound and mimic sought-after tube and solid-state preamps, guitar amps and stompboxes, including their impedance, gain stage ‘sweet spots’ and circuit behavior.
Based on integration between Apollo’s digitally-controlled analogue inputs and its onboard UAD processing, Unison lets Apollo Twin USB owners track through a range of preamp emulations from Neve, API, Marshall and others.
Apollo Twin USB comes with Universal Audio’s Realtime Analog Classics UAD plug-in bundle, featuring legacy editions of the LA-2A Classic Audio Leveler, 1176LN Limiting Amplifier and Pultec EQP-1A Program Equalizer, as well as the 610-B Tube Preamp plug-in, Softube Amp Room Essentials.
Apollo Twin USB will begin shipping in Q3 2015, with an estimated street price of £629.
