Experience Unparalleled Audio Quality
The Apollo x8 Gen 2 provides the widest dynamic range and lowest distortion of any Apollo interface for pristine audio quality. Its enhanced D/A conversion and 130dB dynamic range reveal every nuance in your recordings and mixes. When you play back audio through monitors or headphones, Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks delivers a precise representation of your sound so there are no surprises in your final mixes.
Track Through Classic Preamps in Real Time
Four Unison mic preamps let you record through emulations of coveted preamps from Neve, API, Avalon and more. Unison technology provides the same rich, musical textures as the original hardware preamps used on countless hit records. Choose a preamp to match your microphone and source, then track vocals and instruments with the authentic tone and gain staging of an elite analog studio.
Shape Your Sound With Legendary Processors
The Apollo x8 Gen 2 provides onboard HEXA Core DSP and access to UAD’s library of over 200 plug-ins, including vintage compressors like the Fairchild 670, LA-2A and 1176; Pultec EQs; guitar amps from Fender and Marshall; and modern channel strips. Add depth and dimension to your recordings with reverbs like the Lexicon 224 and plate reverbs. The possibilities for crafting pro-level sounds are endless with UAD plug-ins.
A Complete Monitoring Solution
The Apollo x8 Gen 2 functions as a fully featured monitor controller in your studio. Easily switch between monitors and control levels with its front panel. Talkback makes communication with musicians in the live room simple.
