Technical Specifications of the Universal Audio Apollo Twin X DUO USB

The Apollo Twin X DUO USB boasts outstanding A/D and D/A conversion, surpassing its predecessor, the Apollo Twin. Its 24-bit/192 kHz conversion captures audio with a wider dynamic range and remarkably low distortion, resulting in a spatial, organic sound quality. This high-level conversion captures every nuance of instruments and vocals with exceptional accuracy and depth.

Equipped with two Unison™ preamps, the Apollo Twin X USB offers the tonal depth and texture of legendary analog preamps from brands like Neve, API, and Manley. Unison™ technology enables plug-ins that authentically replicate classic preamps, adding character and warmth to recordings. A Hi-Z instrument input on the front makes tracking guitars and synthesizers effortless, delivering quality that far exceeds most standard interfaces.

Authentic Analog Feel with High-Quality UAD-2 Plug-ins

One of the highlights of the Apollo Twin X DUO USB Heritage Edition is the included Heritage Edition UAD Plug-in Bundle, bringing legendary studio hardware sound into the digital production realm.

These plug-ins inject the “pro sound” of analog gear into every recording.

The Apollo Twin X’s UAD-2 DUO processors provide the processing power needed for latency-free tracking, independent of audio buffer size. This capability is particularly advantageous in complex productions, enabling real-time use of effects with no delays. The UAD plug-ins are compatible with popular DAWs (VST, Audio Units, AAX) for seamless integration in any production environment.
