Apollo Audio Interface
 | What exactly is Apollo Audio Interface?
"Apollo" is really a high-resolution professional Apollo Audio Interface, universal audio apollo, apollo universal audioaudio interface with superior sound quality and Real-time UAD Processing onboard. It features integrated UAD - 2 DSP Acceleration, which enables Apollo to mixture, monitor, and master with our complete library of award-winning UAD - 2 Powered Plug-Ins with nearly immediate sub - 2ms latency. Apollo also has Thunderbolt connectivity via the Thunderbolt Option Card, and connects to the computer via FireWire 800. UAD-2 Powered Plug-Ins Apollo was made to provide users the feel and stream of analog record, while maintaining the advantages of mixing and mastering in a digital audio workstation (DAW). Its included software turns Apollo into a fully-running mixing console and enables users to control its hardware settings remotely, solving longstanding studio workflow and observation irritations. What type of digital and analog I / O does Apollo have? Apollo has 8 whole analog inputs - 4 digitally controlled analog mic pre-amps, 8 balanced line inputs, and 2 front-panels JFET DIs. It has 8 balanced line outs - 14 total analog outputs, 2 digitallycontrolled analog monitor outs, and 2 dedicated stereo headphone outs. In terms of digital I/O, Apollo has 8 channels of ADAT S/MUX, 2 channels of S/PDIF, and Word Clock I/O with an input signal termination switch. UAD-2 Powered Plug-Ins In simple terms, much better. Apollo was created for uncompromising sonic excellence, since the first audio interface to hold the Universal Audio name. Our hardware engineering team called upon years of UA analog expertise through the design process. And every part, from Apollo's microphone pre-amps to its converters, was carefully chosen to supply both fidelity and foil. Therefore we can comfortably say that Apollo provides the lowest THD (total harmonic distortion) and widest dynamic range of anything in its category - performing at or much better than interfaces costing way more. What exactly is UAD Powered Plug Ins? UAD - 2 Powered Plug-Ins offer warm sonic qualities and character perhaps not present in other plug ins. Our software engineering group contains some of the world's leading DSP authorities, who undertake thorough physicalmodeling of classic sound hardware. This procedure means that we basically "rebuild" classic analog gear in the digital world. Therefore UAD-2 plug ins not only seem like the original classic hardware; they act like the initial devices, at even the most extreme settings. UAD-Powered PlugIns are available for purchase singly via our Online Store. What is the operation like on Apollo? With Apollo, latency is fundamentally indiscernible. As an example, when recording four "piled" UAD plug ins on the input in real time, analog-to-analog latency at 96 kHz comes in at 1.1 milliseconds. Obviously, 1.1 MS is maybe not an unusual spec when compared to other professional audio interfaces, however it is unheard of to get that level of latency performance when tracking with plug-ins. With its onboard Realtime UAD Processing, Apollo can retain its low latency operation even yet in large sessions, and also you will leave your computer at a buffer setting that it can manage. |
