Apollo x4 gen 2 Studio+ edition was created with the world’s most advanced desktop audio interface

Universal Audio’s Apollo x4 Gen 2 is a desktop amplifier with next-generation elite-class AD/DA technology, offering the lowest distortion and greatest dynamic range. It features onboard plug-in processing for award-winning emulations of studio classics, allowing real-time tracking using Unison preamp technology. The Apollo x4 can be combined with a host computer’s native processing capabilities for a powerful hybrid workflow. Its Apollo Monitor Correction allows comfortable mixing in any space or with headphones, and Bass Management optimizes the subwoofer for low-frequency clarity.

Full-featured monitor control is also available, including speaker switching and integrated talkback. Furthermore, the redesigned UAD Console software allows you to swiftly configure low-latency cues, plug-in scenarios, and immersive audio monitoring, as well as lock-tight LUNA integration. Apollo x4’s ultra-fast Thunderbolt 3 interface provides near-zero latency and plenty of expandability. Finally, the bundle includes Universal Audio’s UAD Studio+ Edition plug-in library. This exceptional software bundle includes 58 titles covering EQs, compressors, delays, reverbs, and more, providing you with an elite collection of industry-standard instruments. Still undecided about upgrading your performance? Now is the moment to make the switch—Universal Audio’s Apollo is better than ever!

Excellent hybrid workflow.

The Apollo x4 gen 2 has integrated plug-in processing allows you to track in real-time with Neve, Manley, or API channel strips, as well as run large UAD plug-in counts while mixing in your DAW with no pressure on your host computer. When you can inject tube warmth into guitars with a Pultec EQ, add musical limiting to vocals with an LA-2A, and pump up drums with an 1176 or Fairchild 670, you’ll wonder how you ever got by without UA’s industry-leading DSP-accelerated plug-ins. Furthermore, because you can run your UAD plug-ins natively, you can mix Apollo x4’s integrated processing with the native processing of your host machine to build a comprehensive hybrid workflow.

Leading-edge Unison preamplifiers

Apollo x4 gen 2 has Unison preamp technology enables real-time tracking of historic gear like Neve, Manley, and API, providing rich analog textures found in great recordings. Unison goes beyond standard software modeling by adjusting the preamp circuit’s characteristics, such as impedance and gain structure. By tweaking the preamp gain knob and physical controls, the plug-in modifies the preamp’s behavior to match the target preamp, allowing users to filter their audio and interact with the input in the same manner as the modeled preamplifier.

Elite-class AD/DA with improved monitoring.

When building the second-generation Apollo X interfaces, UA engineers aimed to create the highest-quality elite-class 24-bit/192kHz AD/DA conversion of any Apollo to date. After giving Apollo x4 a careful listen, we are certain that they succeeded; its ultra-pristine signal route is audible, and its 129dB DNR and -120dB THD+N statistics speak for themselves. Furthermore, Apollo x4 has Apollo Monitor Correction, which enables you to apply Sonarworks SoundID Reference profiles to UA’s precise EQ filters that operate in real-time on Apollo’s inbuilt DSP. Whether you listen on your studio monitors or with high-end headphones, you’ll hear every element of your mix with pinpoint precision.

Assistive auto-gain and smooth sub-management

Recording with Apollo x4 gen 2 studio edition is easier than ever because of its helpful Auto-Gain function, which can be used on many channels at the same time to ensure optimum levels across the board. Best of all, Auto-Gain works on all of the interface’s inputs, including microphone, line-level, and hi-Z, as well as certain Unison preamp types! Whether you’re working in stereo or 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos, having a monitoring system with well-tuned low-end is essential for creating mixes that communicate. That’s where Apollo x4’s Bass Management function comes in, which seamlessly integrates and optimizes your subwoofer via a real-time DSP-driven Linkwitz-Riley crossover.

Lock-tight LUNA integration

Apollo x4 gen 2 features ultra-tight hardware/software integration with Universal Audio’s free LUNA DAW software, allowing you to control your interface’s monitoring, talkback, and headphone systems in real-time, track and overdub with UAD DSP-accelerated plug-ins in real-time, and gain full software-based control over Apollo’s Unison mic preamps, all without leaving your production software. LUNA also incorporates Accelerated Realtime Monitoring, which provides quick analog-style monitoring and overdubbing using Apollo’s inbuilt processing. You also get limitless track counts, contextual editing and browsing, UAD and AU plug-in support, a session auto-save feature, and AAF import. This program also supports LUNA extensions, which are baked directly into LUNA’s mixer, eliminating the need to instantiate several plug-ins.

LUNA is the closest thing to an analog process in software. It produces accurate analog sound while still allowing for creative immediacy through real-time processing.

Exciting plug-in package included!

UAD-powered plug-ins have garnered a reputation as the most faithful emulations of analog audio equipment ever built. The incredible processing capability of the UAD platform is what makes these plug-ins sound so good. You simply cannot get the depth, color, and character that these plug-ins offer without committing significant CPU resources to them. Best of all, Apollo x4 allows you to record audio in real-time using UAD plug-ins with nearly negligible latency. When you buy Apollo x4 Studio+ Edition, you’ll gain a large suite of award-winning plug-in titles:
