Universal Audio APLTWDII-HE Apollo Twin MkII Heritage Edition (Desktop/Mac/Win/TB2)

The Apollo Twin MkII Duo delivers enhanced audio conversion with the tone, feel, and flow of analog recording. This 2x6 Thunderbolt audio interface for Mac and Windows features available onboard UAD-2 DUO Core processing, Unison™ technology, and the next-generation A/D and D/A conversion that you’ve heard on hundreds of hit records.

Apollo Twin MkII improves upon the original Apollo Twin’s gold-standard audio quality with completely redesigned digital converters. An increased dynamic range and ultra-low distortion result in an interface that moves effortlessly from scorching guitar to a subtle Mandolin while capturing the true character of each.

A Universal Audio breakthrough, Apollo Twin MkII’s Unison technology gives you the genuine tone of the world's most sought-after tube and transformer-based mic preamps. Neve,® API,® Manley®, and UA, are recreated in all their analog glory. Your virtual rack has just been upgraded!

Unison also lets you record at near-zero latency through the preamp emulations, delivering authentic analog sound unmatched by other interfaces. Unison technology also brings dead-on impedance and gain matching for exclusive guitar and bass amp models from Fender,® Marshall,® Ampeg,® and more, directly to your desktop.

Right out of the box, you'll be able to access a studio full of analog sounds, thanks to the included Analog Classics plugin bundle. Plus, the Heritage Edition adds the UA 1176 limiter collection, Pultec EQ collection, Teletronix leveler collection, and more! You can never have enough vintage vibe, but the Heritage edition gets you close.

All of these plugins are powered internally by the Apollo, taking the load off of your CPU and allowing you to use the plugins you want without processor concerns. Apollo processing is compatible with VST, RTAS, AU, and AAX 64, so it works with all major DAWs out of the box.

Versatile monitor functionality makes the Twin MKII the logical center of your studio. With Mute, DIM, Mono, ALT speaker switching, monitor remote controls, and a built-in talkback mic, you'll have full control.
