Universal Audio APLTWSII Apollo Twin MkII w/ SOLO Processing (Desktop/Mac/Win/TB2)
Vendor: Universal Audio
Universal Audio APLTWSII Apollo Twin MkII w/ SOLO Processing (Desktop/Mac/Win/TB2)
The Universal Audio APLTWSII or known as the Apollo Twin MkII, is a ground-up redesign of the world’s most popular professional desktop recording interface for Windows and Mac, professionally designed for delivering enhanced audio conversion with the flow, tone, and feel of analog recording.
Universal Audio APLTWSII is created upon UA’s 60-year heritage of audio craftsmanship, and it starts with two Unison™-enabled mic preamps and stellar next-generation A/D and D/A conversion that came from the UA’s flagship Apollo 8, 8p, and 16. All of this with its included bundle of UAD analog emulation plug-ins - which is designed for the user to track through in real time with QUAD Core processing, DUO or UAD-2 SOLO - makes the Apollo Twin MkII to be born for making records.
The Universal Audio APLTWSII 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
- Cascade up to 4 Apollo interfaces and 6 UAD-2 devices over Thunderbolt, adding DSP and I/O as your studio grows
- 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 Universal Audio APLTWSII comes with two Unison-enabled mic preamps, this is designed to let the users to track through exacting mic preamp emulations from Manley, Neve, Universal Audio, API, and SSL. The Unison technology, which is an Apollo exclusive, nails the tone of theses solid state mic pres and sought-after tube - that includes gain stage “sweet spots,” their input impedance, and the component-level circuit behaviors of the original hardware.
The secret to Unison is its hardware-software integration between Apollo’s mic preamps and its onboard UAD-2 QUAD or DUO Core DSP Acceleration. Simply place a Unison preamp plug-in on your mic input in Apollo Console software, and it physically reconfigures the Apollo interface's impedance — so you can tap into the classic sounds of the world’s most recorded mic preamps.
Access the World of UAD Powered Plug-Ins
Beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins, Apollo Twin MkII 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. Apollo Twin MkII improves upon the original Apollo Twin’s gold-standard audio quality with completely redesigned A/D and D/A conversion — giving you increased dynamic range and ultra-low THD. This next-generation conversion results in breathtaking clarity, depth, and accuracy in your recordings.
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.
Improved Monitoring and Built‑In Talkback Mic
The new Apollo Twin MkII offers greatly improved monitor functionality versus the original — with Mute, DIM, Mono, and ALT speaker switching. It also includes dedicated monitor remote controls and a built-in Talkback mic for easy communication with talent and/or recording slate cues. These features, combined with Apollo Twin MkII's scalability, make it the new standard for professional desktop recording.
Build a Networked Studio
Thanks to Apollo Expanded software, users of any Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo Twin, Apollo 8, Apollo 8p, and Apollo 16 audio interfaces can combine up to four Apollos and six total UAD-2 devices — adding I/O and DSP as your studio grows. Apollo Twin MkII makes the perfect intelligent desktop controller for a full Apollo system.
Now with Vintage Amps
Apollo Twin MkII also includes Unison technology on its front panel instrument input, giving you access to dead-on 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 MkII's Console 2.0 application — a complete re-imagining of Apollo’s original Console software — you can take advantage of over 25 user-requested features such as Channel Strip presets, Drag & Drop functionality, dynamically resizable windows, and more.
