    Apollo, meet Dante.

    The Apollo x16D Ultimate+ Edition is a rackmount; 18 x 20 thunderbolt audio interface from Universal Audio with Dante I/O, elite-class Apollo X 24-bit/192 kHz audio conversion, and HEXA core processing for Mac or Windows. Perfect for live sound venues or networked recording studios, Apollo x16D gives you elite-class Apollo X sound and realtime UAD plug-in processing over Thunderbolt and Dante. With Apollo x16D, you can mix and record live performances with over 200 UAD plug-ins from Neve, SSL, and Auto-Tune, plus classic LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and more.

     

    Take Elite-Class Apollo X Sound on Stage

    Universal Audio built Apollo x16D for both live sound engineers and networked recording studios. With its 16 channels of Dante I/O, elite-class audio conversion, and HEXA core DSP processing — the world’s most powerful system for running UAD plug-ins in realtime — Apollo x16D seamlessly connects to your digital mixing console, putting over 200 UAD plug-ins right at your fingertips.

     

    Work Fast & Never Lose Your Settings

    With its powerful digital mixing engine giving you control over inputs, outputs, and plug-in routing — Apollo x16D makes it easy to quickly build your mix and control entire effects chains in realtime. Then quickly recall your plug-in settings over MIDI, all without interrupting the performance.

     

    Add Hundreds of Effects to a Single Rack Space

    Apollo x16D comes in two editions, both delivering a generous suite of UAD plug-ins right out of the box. Build your mix with classic Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, and Neve channel strips to modern favorites from Auto-Tune, Avalon, and more.

     

    Expand Your Studio Over Dante

    Link up to four x16Ds to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy. Or expand your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio over Dante — the most low-latency and scalable audio network available. This means that if you’ve been considering making the switch to a networked recording studio, or you simply want to grow to a multi-room setup, you don’t have to start from scratch.*

     

    Mix Down to Surround

    After the show, bring Apollo x16D back to the studio, where it becomes your all in one monitoring hub for mixing formats up to 9.1.6. This allows you to easily create 16 channel immersive audio mixes of live sets or studio recordings for Dolby Atmos, Auro 3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.
