Universal Audio built Apollo x16 Gen 2 for pro engineers and producers who need the highest-quality sound for the professional analog studio. With the widest dynamic range and lowest distortion available, Apollo x16 effortlessly interfaces with your analog equipment and patchbays with DB-25 connections, offering +24 dBu headroom, 16 x 18 A/D and D/A conversion, and stereo AES I/O. Apollo x16 comes in two editions, both delivering a generous suite of UAD plug-ins right out of the box. Build your mix with classic Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, API and SSL channel strips, and modern favorites from Auto-Tune, Avalon, and more. Apollo x16 features UA’s highest-resolution A/D and D/A converters paired with multi-channel immersive Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks. So you’ll not only hear the most pristine representation of your recordings, but there will be no surprises when you listen to your final mix or master on any stereo or surround system. Apollo x16 supports mixing formats up to 9.1.6.

This allows you to easily create 16-channel immersive audio mixes for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others. Apollo x16’s powerful digital mixing engine lets you control plug-in routing and monitoring. And with the latest features like Bass Management, Immersive Audio up to Atmos 9.1.6, and Plug-In Scenes, it’s easy to find a flow that fits your needs. Combine Apollo x16’s HEXA Core DSP with native processing from your host computer to produce large sessions with complex plug-in chains — a powerhouse hybrid workflow that outpaces any native-only recording setup. Link up to four Apollo x16’s for 64 channels of elite-class A/D and D/A conversion, perfect for interfacing with large format recording consoles, or stack one x16 with other Thunderbolt Apollo rackmount units and control it all from your desktop using Apollo Twin or x4. So no matter how far your music takes you, an Apollo will always be in reach.
