Apollo Monitor Correction - optimise the acoustic performance of your monitors
Apollo Monitor Correction, powered by Sonarworks®, ensures you hear your recordings with complete accuracy. By pairing this technology with UA's highest-resolution D/A converters, it delivers pristine sound through both monitors and headphones. It adjusts for tonal inconsistencies in your listening environment, so your final mix or master stays consistent across different playback systems. With Apollo Monitor Correction, you can trust that every detail of your audio is clear and reliable, leaving no room for surprises in your finished project.
Please Note: Coming Q4 2024, this interface requires Apollo Monitor Correction Add-on and SoundID Reference licenses to use the Apollo Monitor Correction technology, available from sonarworks.com. For full compatibility information refer to help.uaudio.com
AutoGain and more with UAD Console app
Universal Audio’s UAD Console app gives you complete control over your audio workflow. This intuitive digital mixer lets you route inputs, set up cue mixes, and manage plug-in scenes with ease. Features like Auto-Gain streamline your recording process, ensuring you never miss the right levels. The app also integrates immersive audio monitoring, Bass Management for adding a subwoofer, and alternate speaker switching for quick A/B comparisons during mixdown. For those working in both small and expanding studios, the UAD Console app ensures that you can tailor your setup to fit your production style, helping you stay creative and efficient throughout the session.
Hear pristine audio with elite conversion
The Apollo x6 Gen 2 delivers some of the clearest, most accurate audio conversion in its class. With elite 24-bit / 192 kHz resolution and enhanced D/A converters, your recordings and mixes benefit from astonishingly low distortion and an incredible 130 dB dynamic range. This means you can capture every nuance of your performance or session with crystal-clear detail. Whether you’re recording, mixing, or mastering, the Apollo x6 ensures professional-grade results every time.
Record with legendary analog sound
Thanks to its two Unison mic preamps, the Apollo x6 allows you to track in real time through accurate emulations of iconic gear like Neve, Manley, API, and Fender. This technology replicates the character of classic analog preamps, including their impedance and gain stage behaviours, so you can add authentic warmth and colour to your recordings. For guitarists, the Hi-Z inputs let you plug in directly and get instant access to vintage amp sounds, ensuring your instruments sound as good as your vocals.
Seamless integration with UAD plug-ins
With HEXA Core DSP, the Apollo x6 powers over 200 UAD plug-ins, allowing you to record and mix in real time without taxing your computer. From classic compressors and EQs like the LA-2A and Pultec, to modern favourites like the Distressor, you’ll have access to a vast range of tools straight out of the box. The Essentials+ Edition comes with over 50 plug-ins, giving you everything you need to craft polished, professional productions. With support for all major DAWs, you can easily integrate this powerful processing into any setup.
