4. Unison Technology

• Emulation: Unison-enabled preamps let you emulate classic preamp sounds and other hardware gear directly from your DAW. This technology also allows you to adjust preamp gain and impedance settings digitally.

5. Low Latency

• Thunderbolt 3: The interface uses Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, which provides very low latency. This is important for recording with effects and plugins in real-time without noticeable delay.

6. Build and Software Bundle

• Design: The Apollo X6 has a durable, professional build with a modern design.
• Software: It comes with a comprehensive software package, including Universal Audio’s Console software for real-time monitoring and routing, as well as a selection of UAD plugins.
