Universal Audio Apollo X6

Apollo x6 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface – Elite Audio Conversion with two Unison preamps, new HEXA Core Processing and Surround Sound Monitoring.
With Apollo x6, music producers and post-production studios can track and mix with the new world-class A/D and D/A converters, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processors, 5.1 surround monitoring and LUNA recording system integration (Mac) – all contained in a smart Thunderbolt 3 audio interface rack for Mac or PC. Building on Universal Audio’s 60-year history in high-end audio, the new 16×22 interface features two Unison™ preamps that deliver authentic emulations of classic preamps from Neve, API, Manley, SSL and more.
And with the new HEXA Core processors, you get 50% more DSP to run the phenomenal UAD plug-ins in real time.
In addition to the new elite-class converters, Apollo x6 can switch to compatibility with professional +24 dB gear and features an integrated monitor controller and a built-in talkback mic. Realtime UAD HEXA Core Processing The Apollo x series are all equipped with the new HEXA Core processing power with six DSP chips and have 50% more plug-in processor horsepower than the previous Apollo models.
This allows you to run more plug-ins, whether you’re recording in real time with channel strips from Neve, Manley or API, or running multiple UAD plug-ins in your DAW mix.

LUNA Recording System included Apollo x6 can be used with all major DAWs such as Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cubase and more.
But it will be a fully integrated system with LUNA, a revolutionary new recording software for Mac from Universal Audio.
Powered by Accelerated Realtime Monitoring, LUNA gives you an intuitive one-window workflow where you can record and mix with unlimited tracks, full AU support and access to an exclusive range of LUNA instruments and extensions.
From integrated Studer multitrack tape and built-in Neve Summing to instruments from Moog and more, LUNA turns your Apollo interface into the most inspiring music workshop on the planet.

Surround Sound Monitoring With extensive support for surround formats up to 5.1, the Apollo x6 is the obvious choice for engineers and producers working with sound and music for games, TV and web media.
Apollo x6 features 16×22 simultaneous inputs/outputs (6×6 analog I/O) and built-in Thunderbolt 3 ports that are backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 Macs via an adapter (sold separately).
