Hear the Details Like Never Before
Now in its Gen 2 design, Apollo x16 features our highest-resolution A/D and D/A converters to date. And when paired with new features like Apollo Monitor Correction by Sonarworks,* this means you’ll hear the most accurate representation of your recordings when mixing through monitors or headphones.
*Requires SoundID Reference software and compatible measurement microphone. Learn more atsonarworks.com.
Mix Down to Surround
Apollo x16 supports mixing formats up to 9.1.6, so you can create 16‑channel immersive audio mixes for Dolby Atmos, Auro‑3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.
Find Your Perfect Workflow
Easily control all your plug-in routing and monitoring in the UAD Console app. And with the latest features like Bass Management, Immersive Audio up to 9.1.6, and Plug-In Scenes, it’s easy to find a flow that fits your needs.
A Hybrid System for Your Mission
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.
Expand Your Studio as You Grow
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.**
