Iconic UAD Analogue Collections Onboard

Iconic UAD Analogue Collections OnboardA hallmark feature of Apollo is its Realtime UAD Processing, letting you run the full library of UAD plug-ins at near-zero latency. Taking you a step further, Apollo x4 Heritage Edition gives you 10 premium plug-in titles worth over $2,400 — including the full suite of UA's Teletronix, 1176, and Fairchild compressors, Helios Type 69, V76, and UA 610 Unison mic preamps, all Pultec EQs, Oxide Tape Recorder, and Pure Plate Reverb.
These premium Heritage Edition titles are in addition to Apollo Twin x4's included "Realtime Analog Classics Plus" bundle, giving you the most accurate library of classic Analogue emulations included with any professional audio interface.
Elite-Class A/D and D/A ConversionWith thousands of hit songs and hundreds of Grammy-winning albums under their belt, Apollo interfaces are used to create exceptional-sounding records every day. To improve upon the previous generation, UA engineers redesigned the Apollo x4’s audio conversion to deliver a striking 127 dB dynamic range and -117 dB THD+N, giving it a spacious, organic sound that easily rivals dedicated high-end converters costing much more.
A Wealth of Emulations

Get the Sound of Neve, Helios, API, Manley & More
Apollo x4 comes with four Unison-enabled preamps allowing you to track through exacting mic preamp emulations from Neve, Helios, API, Manley, UA and many more. Unison Technology captures the tones of these lauded valve and solid-state mic preamps - including their input impedance, gain stage sweet spots, right down to the component level circuit behaviours of their original hardware.
Taking inspiration from Unison's proprietary hardware-software integration, Apollo x4 allows you to record at close to zero latency via emulations like the included UA 610-B valve preamp and EQ for genuine analogue sound which is unmatched by other interfaces in its peer group. Unison technology can be found also in Apollo x4’s front-panel Hi-Z instrument input, providing accurate impedance and gain matching for guitar and bass amp models from Fender, Marshall, Ampeg and many more.
Designed for Excellence in Every Detail

Expand Users of Apollo x4 can combine up to four Thunderbolt Apollos and six total UAD-2 devices - adding I/O and DSP as your studio grows. Once you expand your studio with an Apollo X rackmount unit, you can use Apollo x4 as a desktop monitor control with additional I/O and DSP power.

Everything you need With the x4's four Unison-equipped preamps, two line outs and optical ADAT/SPDIF input - plus its own dedicated monitor remote controls and built in talkback mic - the 12 x 18 Apollo x4 gives you everything you need to craft professional level tracks and mixes.
