Universal Audio Apollo x6 Heritage Edition

Apollo x6 Heritage Edition – Powerful Interface

The Universal Audio Apollo x6 is a powerful studio tool with advanced processing power, enhanced sound quality, native 5.1 surround monitoring, and talkback functionality. It features dual Unison preamps for tracking iconic hardware models, sub-2ms latency, and Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. The Apollo x6 Heritage Edition includes 10 award-winning plug-in titles and a Realtime Analog Classics Plus bundle for vintage analog equipment emulations. It’s compatible with LUNA software for seamless recording, editing, and mixing. Experience 50% Increased Power, Elite-Class AD/DA, and More!

Experience tracking and mixing with the robust HEXA Core processing

There are instances when your computer lacks the necessary power and speed to support all the plug-ins required for your recording session. This is where UA’s advanced 6-core HEXA Core processor proves invaluable. This processor delivers 50% more power compared to its predecessor, enabling you to track in real-time using Neve, Manley, or API channel strips, as well as manage extensive UAD plug-in counts while mixing in your DAW. The engineers here take advantage of this capability to infuse guitars with the tube warmth of a Pultec EQ, apply the musical limiting of an LA-2A to vocals, and enhance drums with an 1176 or Fairchild 670 — all in real-time. It closely resembles the experience of using actual hardware.

Achieve superior sound quality with elite-class AD/DA conversion

While Apollos has consistently delivered excellent sound quality, the Apollo x6’s AD/DA conversion elevates this performance significantly. During the development of the latest generation of Apollos, UA engineers meticulously evaluated the most advanced AD/DA technologies, ultimately integrating elite-class 24-bit/192kHz converters with redesigned analog circuitry. The outcome is an exceptionally clear signal path featuring a dynamic range of 129dB and a total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of –128 dB. Additionally, Dual Crystal clocking ensures a low-jitter environment, facilitating pure, artifact-free recording and robust stereo imaging. Explore this for yourself — the AD/DA capabilities of the Apollo x6 stand-up to any high-end standalone converter available in the market.

The sensational plug-in bundle is included!

UAD Powered Plug-ins have earned their reputation for being some of the most accurate emulations of analog audio equipment ever created. The astonishing processing power of the UAD platform is what makes these plug-ins sound so great. You simply can’t get the depth, color, and character these plug-ins have without devoting huge CPU resources to them. Best of all, Apollo x6 lets you record your audio through UAD plug-ins in real-time with sub-2ms latency. When you buy the Apollo x6 Heritage Edition, you’ll receive a premium suite of 10 award-winning plug-in titles
