The Apollo Twin X Gen 2 DUO Core Essentials+ is a premium desktop Thunderbolt 3 audio interface designed for musicians and producers seeking professional-grade recording and mixing capabilities. Built on Universal Audio’s 60-year legacy of audio craftsmanship, this interface delivers elite-class A/D and D/A conversion with an impressive 127 dB dynamic range, ensuring pristine sound quality that surpasses other interfaces in its class.

At the heart of the Apollo Twin X are two Unison-enabled mic preamps, which provide authentic emulations of legendary preamps from brands like Neve, Helios, API, Manley, and Universal Audio. Unison technology integrates hardware and software, allowing the Apollo’s preamps to physically reconfigure their impedance and gain staging to match the emulated hardware’s characteristics. This results in the iconic tones of classic tube and solid-state preamps, capturing the warmth, clarity, and character of the original gear.

The Apollo Twin X is equipped with DUO Core DSP acceleration, enabling real-time processing of UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency. Whether you’re tracking, overdubbing, or mixing, the included bundle of UAD analog emulation plug-ins transforms your setup into a fully-stocked analog studio, right on your desktop. These plug-ins replicate the sound of vintage compressors, EQs, and reverbs, offering unparalleled flexibility and sonic fidelity.

Designed for seamless compatibility with Mac and Windows systems, the Apollo Twin X connects via Thunderbolt 3, ensuring fast and reliable data transfer. Its compact, desktop-friendly design makes it an ideal choice for home studios, mobile recording setups, or professional environments where space is at a premium.
