42-channel Firewire audio interface with real-time UAD processor. QUAD has four processors and comes with the "Realtime Analog Classics Plus Bundle" plug-in bundle.
Apollo is the world's first professional audio interface that gives you the sound and feeling of working with analog recording. It has 18 / 24 in/out via Firewire 800 and combines Universal Audio's classic analog design with modern, high-resolution sound quality up to 24-bit/192 kHz. In addition, Apollo has Universal Audio's acclaimed UAD processor which enables recording/playback with DSP effects in real time!
Universal Audio has been manufacturing analog recording equipment for decades and this legacy has been passed on to Apollo, which is an extremely well-built audio interface with microphone amplifiers and AD/DA converters of the highest class. Apollo is compatible with all known recording programs such as Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, Ableton Live and others. Using Apollo's internal mixer and VST plug-in, you get total control over your plug-ins and you can recreate (Total Recall) settings without time limit.
The UAD processor opens up the possibility of recording and playback in real time with less than 2ms delay and this makes Apollo a unique audio interface without an equivalent on the market. Choose from a solid list of critically acclaimed plug-ins and your choices of sound character and effects become almost endless. The UAD processor also helps offload the computer's processor so you can use other plug-ins and software instruments.
