Poised to be the center of a Windows-based home studio or mobile rig, the Universal Audio Apollo Twin USB Heritage Edition desktop 10x6 USB audio interface combines the sound, feel, and flow of analog studio recording with powerful DUO Core real-time UAD processing and a hearty bundle of 25 stellar UAD plug-ins.

Furnished with 24-bit / 192 kHz converters performing well beyond the interface's price point, the Apollo Twin USB gives musicians, producers, songwriters, and audio engineers the appreciable value of clear, high-resolution recording and mixing with low distortion (-110 dB) and great dynamic range (118 dB).

The interface features two XLR-1/4" mic/line combo inputs and a 1/4" Hi-Z input, all with Unison integration for precise UAD emulations of classic analog preamps—impart vintage character of your choosing on microphone and instrument recordings while bypassing the unpredictable nature of old equipment.

Thanks to the switchable low-cut filter, pad, polarity inversion, 48V phantom power, and stereo linking on each analog input, you can efficiently optimize your incoming signals with straightforward buttons on the Apollo Twin USB's face. In addition to the two primary analog inputs, you can record up to eight more channels by connecting external preamps with ADAT or S/PDIF optical outputs to the TOSLINK optical input port on the Apollo Twin USB.

The built-in DUO Core processing allows you to monitor and record audio using classic analog emulations with near-zero latency and no burden on your computer's CPU. The plug-in bundle included with the Heritage Edition empowers you with 25 top-notch plug-ins ranging from vintage compressor and EQ collections to virtual guitar/bass amps and time-based processors. The included Console application provides control and recall of all interface and UAD plug-in settings including channel-strip presets, drag-and-drop functionality, and dynamically resizable windows.

Equipped with a dedicated stereo monitor feed, a front-panel headphone output, and two additional 1/4" line outputs, the Apollo Twin USB can serve as the monitor controller for your studio's speakers and headphones. Plus, its clearly visible input and output meters help you keep track of your levels.

At any point, you can increase the power of the Apollo Twin USB through integration of qualified Universal Audio hardware. Add UAD-2 PCIe DSP accelerator cards, UAD-2 Satellite Firewire, and UAD-2 Satellite USB to expand DSP resources without abandoning the Apollo Twin USB.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use this device with a Shure MXA910 Ceiling Array Microphone?

A: Yes. According to the following page from Shure; "You can use a web application to control the MXA910 and Dante Controller to route audio. Download the Shure Web Device Discovery application to access your device’s web application." https://pubs.shure.com/guide/MXA910/en-US

Q: 2. What is the lowest buffer size?

A: Buffer size would be set in your DAW.

Q: 3. I assume this would hookup to an iPAD, but my question is would it supply power to an iPAD also?

A: No

Q: 4. Does this identify as 4x separate outputs (mains & monitors) in a DAW?

A: No, this will only give you the main stereo output signal in both main outs and headphones.

Q: 5. Can I use this device to: 1) send analog out to ATEM Mic In. 2)USB to comp-1 streaming soft. 3) Dante to comp-2 running zoom?

A: Yes, the analog output from the Shure ANIUSB-MATRIX USB Audio Network Interface can be connected to the mic input on the Blackmagic Design ATEM Switcher (set the input level on the ATEM for line level audio signal). The USB port from the ANIUSB-MATRIX can be connected to a computer for streaming audio, and the Dante port on the ANIUSB-MATRIX can be connected to a network switch to receive Dante audio, Power over Ethernet (PoE), and data from the control software, then the second computer can be connected to the network switch to send and receive audio for the Zoom meeting.

Q: 6. Hi, I already own an Apollo and have most of the 25 plugins included. So, can I trade for a different set of plugins?

A: No its only what UA offers on there site with the Apollo , If you want some other then what they offer with the bundle, then that would cost you additional thru Universal Audio's website

Q: 7. can this be used with a usb hub, a powered hub? i only have one usb-c port om my computer.

A: Yes, the M Audio AIR | Hub Desktop USB Monitoring Interface with Built-In USB Hub can be connected to the computer via powered USB hub.

Q: 8. Can this device work with a hub like "Belkin Connect Thunderbolt 4 Core Hub" being connected to it instead directly to a Mac?"

A: Technically, you could connect the Universal Audio Apollo Solo Heritage Edition Desktop 2x4 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface with SOLO Core Real-Time UAD Processing to a Mac via a Thunderbolt 4 hub. However, I would not suggest doing this. A hub like this essentially has its own computer inside, so passing audio through it before it hits your computer could introduce unwanted artifacts into your recordings.

Q: 9. Can the Dante port be connected directly to the ethernet port of a PC, giving the PC access to the I/O?

A: No. The Dante port would be connected to a network switch that is also connected to the rest of your Dante devices and the USB port of the Shure ANIUSB-MATRIX would be connected to your computer.

Q: 10. Can the Solo drive 250 Ohm headphones?

A: Yes they will drive 250 ohm headphones.
