The Universal Audio Apollo x8p Gen 2 Essentials+ is a 16×22 rackmount Thunderbolt 3 audio interface that offers eight Unison mic preamps with Auto-Gain, flagship Gen 2 Elite-Class 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA conversion, surround audio up to 7.1, and HEXA Core DSP for real-time UAD plug-in processing over Thunderbolt at near-zero latency — on Mac and Windows computers. The Apollo x8p Gen 2 boasts a total harmonic distortion of –127 dB — a significant improvement over the Gen 1 model's –119 dB — and a dynamic range of 130 dB, placing it in the conversation with standalone converters that cost significantly more.

Key elements of its design:

• Eight Unison™ Mic Preamps with Auto-Gain The Apollo x8p Gen 2 features state-of-the-art preamps with Unison technology — Universal Audio's hardware-level emulation system that recreates the exact behavior of classic analog mic preamps. Unlike software-based plug-in models that only process your signal after digital conversion, Unison preamps allow your microphones to react the same way they would to a real Neve, API, or Manley preamp. The new Auto-Gain feature sets input gain across multiple channels in seconds without risk of clipping, automatically finding the perfect recording level during a listening window.
• Elite-Class Gen 2 AD/DA Conversion Elite-class Apollo X Gen 2 converters deliver 24-bit / 192 kHz resolution with Dual-Crystal Clocking for ultra-low jitter at all sample rates. The enhanced D/A monitoring achieves 130 dB of dynamic range and an astonishingly low THD of –127 dB, ensuring the most accurate representation of your recordings when mixing through monitors or headphones.
• HEXA Core DSP Equipped with a powerful HEXA Core processor featuring six dedicated DSP cores, the Apollo x8p Gen 2 is capable of running UAD plug-ins in real time with near-zero latency. Onboard DSP supports over 200 UAD plug-ins via VST, AU, and AAX 64 formats in all major DAWs.
• Apollo Monitor Correction by Sonarworks You can mix with confidence in any room using Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks, calibrating both the main monitor and headphone outputs for accurate playback in any listening environment. Bass Management allows you to add a subwoofer to your monitor setup to hear all the low-end detail in your mixes.
• 7.1 Surround & Immersive Audio Support The Apollo x8p Gen 2 supports surround audio up to 7.1 with full bass management and immersive audio monitoring, making it equally capable in stereo, post-production, and spatial audio workflows.
• Comprehensive I/O The rear panel provides eight Unison mic preamps, two Hi-Z instrument inputs, DB-25 input for line 1–8, two optical Toslink I/O (ADAT S/MUX or S/PDIF), word clock I/O via BNC, two ¼" monitor outputs, DB-25 output for ALT / 7.1 surround, and two ¼" TRS headphone outputs.
• Updated UAD Console App The UAD Console app includes Auto-Gain, Plug-In Scenes for instant recall of settings even in the middle of a performance, subwoofer integration with Bass Management, and immersive audio support.
• Essentials+ Plug-In Suite The Essentials+ Bundle includes 36 UAD plug-ins such as Pultec EQ, Auto-Tune, and the classic LA-2A and 1176 compressors, among many others.
• Expandability The Apollo x8p Gen 2 is expandable with Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces or select models over Dante, and is compatible with LUNA, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, and more.
