Industry-Leading Power
Work Fast & Never Lose Your SettingsWith its powerful digital mixing engine giving you control over inputs, outputs, and plug-in routing, the Apollo x16D makes it easy to build your mix and control entire effects chains in realtime. Then quickly recall your plug-in settings over MIDI, all without interrupting the performance.
Hundreds of Effects, One Rack SpaceApollo 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 along with modern favourites from Auto-Tune, Avalon, and more.
Expand Your Studio Over DanteLink up to four x16Ds to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy. Alternatively, 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 SurroundAfter 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.
