*This is a Pre-Order Item*

The Universal Audio Apollo Duo is the first Thunderbolt-ready high resolution audio interface to capture analog simplicity and digital flexibility in a pristine all-in-one recording system. Classic analog design combines with cutting-edge DSP technology to deliver a host of features, class-leading performance and seamless, future-proof integration.

The UA Apollo Duo features 18 inputs and 24 outputs feeding high-end AD/DA conversion; 4 premium digitally controlled preamps and 2 DI inputs allow connection of microphones, guitars and other instruments. These inputs can be switched from the front-panel along with gain, phase, low-cut, pad and phantom power. The 10 segment LED meters provide a visual indication for levels, input channel status and clock settings. Also featured on the front are 2 discrete headphone outputs and gain control for recording and monitoring duties.

Alongside the mic and instrument inputs are a whole host of I/O options, including: 8 analog I/O, dedicated monitor outputs, 8 channels of ADAT I/O, stereo S/PDIF and word clock I/O. There are also 2 Firewire 800 ports (as standard) for multi-box linking and connection of other Firewire compatible devices.

The Apollo Duo also includes award-winning UAD DSP processing technology, allowing any UAD powered plugin to be used in real-time at near-zero latency. This technology combined with UA's design heritage makes Apollo an ideal choice for professionals seeking a high-resolution, DSP-accelerated solution with a fast and easy workflow. Apollo is compatible with all major DAWs and ships with a comprehensive Console application and Recall plugin to ensure all settings are recalled flawlessly every time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The best Interface and sound card on the market
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2013*

If you are considering buying this, just stop wasting your time. This unit comes with its own system architecture to enable advanced plugins which are the best I've heard, and they rival analogue hardware. This will add a WHOLE LOT to your studio, with the UAD-2 plugins available for purchase... they are amazing! If you have the dough, take advantage of the $3,999 Ultimate plug in offer when registering and start using them. If not, definitely pay the $799 for six plug ins of your choice. I like the G Bus compressor, Neve 1073, Precision K-Stereo is nice too for editing live concert audio from video. Lexicon 224 and RealVerb Pro are fantastic reverbs (along with the EMT 140), Ocean Way is useful if you are creative with bussing your tracks and mixing, etc. The Apollo is the best all in one unit I have found. I am pairing it with the Universal Audio 4-710d. Check that one out if you haven't already, it'll give you 4 additional tube/solidstate modular pre amps over the Apollo's 4 (which are pristine, clear and clean by the way). The Fairchild compressor is really good, I also use the API 560 it sounds fantastic (probably my favorite EQ out of all of them). Digital EQ v2 is nice to have for certain instruments and vocals. 5 STARS!!!

    Stellar Pre! Amazing Plugins! Great Support!
  

*by O***Z on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2013*

Simply a STELLAR unit! The Mic Pre's are incredible and don't color the sound. But the real reason to buy this unit is because of the analog plugins from UAudio! Just superb! Compared to the Lynx 8, you only get 4 XLR mic inputs and then an additional four 1/4 in inputs. I am not sure how the Lynx Pre's stand up compared to the duo, but who cares! Add the plugins and its a no brainer!
