Desktop 2 x 4 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface w/ Realtime UAD-2 SOLO Processing for Mac and Windows

Shape your recordings into records with genuine UA conversion, classic mixing tools, and LUNA Recording System.

This 2 x 4 Thunderbolt 3 bus-powered audio interface for Mac and Windows includes a generous collection of UAD plug-ins to record vocals and instruments through, at near-zero latency - plus it offers full integration with Universal Audio's groundbreaking new LUNA Recording System.

Unison™ Technology for Stunning Mic and Guitar Preamp Emulations
Apollo Solo's Unison technology gives you the tone, touch and "feel" of the world's most sought-after tube and transformer-based mic preamps and guitar amps. It includes the UA 610-B Tube Preamp, Marshall® Plexi Classic Amplifier, and Ampeg SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp plug-ins - and can be expanded with exclusive titles from Neve,® Avalon,® SSL,® Fender,® and more. The secret is a unique hardware-software integration, which adjusts the impedance of Apollo's instrument and mic preamps to match the emulated hardware - for authentic analog sound unmatched by other recording interfaces.

It's like having a virtual analog studio that fits in a laptop bag.
