With Universal Audio's Apollo x6 Heritage you can easily track, overdub, and mix larger projects with elite-class digital conversion, two Unison-enabled preamps, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, and 5.1 surround sound monitoring* — all built into a sleek rackmount Thunderbolt 3 audio interface designed to work with either Mac or PC.
This 16 x 22 interface is built upon UA’s 60-year heritage of audio craftsmanship and easily outperforms everything in its class. 2 Unison™-enabled mic preamps offer authentic emulations of preamps from Neve, Manley, SSL, API, and more. Plus, proprietary HEXA Core processing — yielding 50% more DSP for real-time operation of UAD Powered Plug-Ins.
With HEXA core you can record at near-zero latency through the preamp emulations, delivering authentic analog sound unmatched by other interfaces. HEXA core 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 Apollo x6 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.
Add to that comprehensive 5.1 surround monitoring support, and Apollo x6 is a boon for engineers and producers working on audio and music for video games, television, and the web.
