    UAD Apollo Twin X Duo Gen 2: Legendary Recordings Start Here

    You don’t need a massive console or racks of gear to get hit-ready sound — you just need the right tools. The Apollo Twin X Duo Gen 2 brings the soul of analog hardware to your desktop with the precision of modern digital design. With Unison™ mic preamps, DUO Core UAD plug-in processing, and elite-class conversion, it’s an interface for producers, engineers, and guitarists who want that record-label sound without ever leaving home.

    You get the tone of Neve, API, Manley, Pultec, and more — right out of the box. No latency. Just the feel of analog, delivered in real time.

This interface gives you a streamlined path to better recordings, mixes, and performances, whether in a bedroom studio or professional control room.

    • 10 x 6 Thunderbolt audio interface with 24-bit/192kHz audio conversion.
    • UAD-2 DUO Core processing lets you record through vintage compressors, EQs, tape machines, and mic pres in real time.

    • Plug in your guitar and instantly play through Marshall Plexi amps, Ampeg SVTs, or boutique stompboxes.
    • Mix with iconic tools like the LA-2A, 1176, Pultec EQs, and Capitol Chambers reverb.
