Overview

Elite audio conversion with new HEXA Core processing and surround sound monitoring

The Apollo X6 6-Channel thunderbolt audio interface from Universal Audio offers an unparalleled solution for desktop audio production. Boasting HEXA Core processing, it provides 50-percent more DSP for running UAD Powered Plug-Ins in real time compared to previous models. You'll get pristine 24-bit/192 kHz audio conversion and seamless integration with your DAW of choice. Designed for professional studios, the X6 is optimized for +24dBu gear. It also has an integrated monitor controller and talkback mic built right in.

HEXA Core Processing for Maximum UAD Power

The X6 is built around HEXA Core processing, UA's most powerful DSP engine yet. It delivers 50-percent more DSP for running UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency. From vintage emulations to modern productions tools, UAD plug-ins are renowned for their authentic analog sound and feel. With the X6, you'll have ample DSP for tracking and mixing with your favorite UAD plug-ins.

Pristine Audio Conversion for High-Resolution Sound

At the heart of the X6 are elite-class A/D and D/A converters that provide transparent, studio-grade audio quality. You'll get up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution for capturing every nuance of your performance. The X6 is also optimized for professional +24dBu gear, integrating seamlessly into high-end studio setups.

Built-In Monitor Control and Talkback

For added production convenience, the X6 features an integrated monitor controller and talkback mic. Quickly switch between speakers or headphone outputs, control volume levels and communicate with performers during recording sessions. The talkback mic makes it easy to provide direction without disrupting the creative flow.

Backwards Compatible and Bundled with UAD Plug-Ins

While designed for Thunderbolt 3, the X6 is also compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 using an adapter. It comes with the Realtime Analog Classics Plus UAD plug-in bundle, delivering vintage emulations and modern tools to enhance your productions. You'll get authentic models of preamps, EQs, compressors, reverbs and more from Neve, Helios, Pultec, Marshall, Ampeg and other legends.
