Universal Audio APLTWDU Apollo Twin USB w/ DUO Processing (Win)
Vendor: Universal Audio
Universal Audio APLTWDU Apollo Twin USB w/ DUO Processing (Win)
The Universal Audio APLTWDU is designed with a Realtime UAD Processing and a class-leading resolution, it is created to set a new standard for desktop music production.
The Universal Audio APLTWDU is built as a 2x6 USB 3 interface for Windows designed for allowing the users to record with near-zero latency through the full range of UAD Powered Plug-Ins, an ingeniously merging classic analog tones equipped with cutting-edge features.
The Universal Audio APLTWDU is making the users capable to:
- Record with world-class Apollo A/D and D/A conversion — as heard on hundreds of hit records
- Mix with UAD plug-ins like the included Teletronix® LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec® EQs, and 610-B Preamp
- Use alongside UAD-2 PCIe DSP Accelerator cards, UAD-2 Satellite FireWire, and UAD-2 Satellite USB for truly scalable mixing power
- Track with near-zero latency through preamp emulations from Neve®, API®, Manley® and more using Unison™ technology†
Unison Technology: The Genuine Sound of Neve, SSL, API & Manley Preamps
The Apollo Twin comes with two Unison-enabled mic preamps designed for letting the users to track through exacting mic preamp emulations from Universal Audio, Neve, Manley, SSL, and API. The Unison technology, which is an Apollo exclusive, nails the tone of these solid state mic pres and sought-after tube - that includes their gain stage “sweet spots,” input impedance, and the component-level circuit behaviors of the original hardware.
In its hardware-software integration lies the secret to Unison, between its onboard UAD-2 DUO Core DSP Acceleration and the Apollo’s mic preamps. To use it just simply place a Unison preamp plug-in on your mic input in Apollo Console software, and it wil reconfigures the Apollo interface's impedance physically - in that case the user is now capable to tap into the classic sounds of the world’s most recorded mic preamps.
A Full Suite of Classic Analog Processing Onboard
Right out of the box, Apollo Twin USB provides a suite of incredible analog emulation plug-ins including the world’s only authentic Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN, Pultec EQs, and the Unison-enabled UA 610-B Tube Preamp. Developed by UA’s world-renowned team of algorithm engineers, these Realtime Analog Classic plug-ins set the standard by which all other hardware emulation plug-ins are judged.
From the tube warmth of the Pultec EQ on guitars, to the gentle limiting of the LA-2A on vocals, your recordings will take a giant leap forward in rich, sonically complex analog sound.
Access the World of UAD Powered Plug-Ins
Beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins, Apollo Twin USB lets you tap into the full library award-winning UAD Powered Plug-Ins — including vintage EQs, Compressors, Reverbs, Tape Machines and more — at near-zero latency, regardless of your audio software’s buffer size and without taxing your computer’s CPU.
With exclusive emulations from Neve, Studer, Manley, API, Ampex, Lexicon, Fender, and more,† it’s like having an endless analog studio, right on your desktop. And unlike competing interfaces, these DSP-powered plug-ins are also available in your DAW for mixing.
Next-Generation A/D and D/A Conversion
Of course, the heart of any audio interface is the quality of its conversion. In designing the next-generation Apollo range, UA engineers started with an obsessive auditioning of the latest A/D and D/A converters, ultimately pairing the selected 24-bit/192kHz converters with all-new analog circuitry for the optimal signal path. Apollo Twin provides increased dynamic range and lower THD versus other interfaces — rivaling dedicated converters costing thousands more.
Apollo: The Choice of New-School Professionals
Apollo is the confirmed choice of hit-making professionals, used to record landmark albums by Kendrick Lamar (DAMN.), Chris Stapleton (From A Room: Volume 1), Arcade Fire (Everything Now), Post Malone (Beerbongs & Bentleys), and many more. The Apollo range of interfaces has earned numerous industry awards from Sound on Sound, Future Music, and Electronic Musician — as well as the prestigious 2016 TEC Award for computer audio hardware.
Now with Vintage Amps
New for Apollo Twin USB is Unison technology on the front panel instrument input, giving you dead-on, impedance-matched emulations of guitar and bass amps like the Fender '55 Tweed Deluxe, Marshall Plexi Super Lead 1959, and the Ampeg B-15N Bass Amplifier.
A Sleek, Low-latency App
With Apollo Twin’s Console 2.0 application — a complete re-imagining of Apollo’s original Console software — you can take advantage of over 25 new user-requested features such as Channel Strip presets, Drag & Drop functionality, dynamically resizable windows, and more.
