Mix live and in the studio with elite-class Apollo X processing and effects over Thunderbolt and Dante.
The Apollo X16D Essentials+ brings Universal Audio's award-winning plug-ins and elite-class audio conversion directly to your live performances. With 16 channels of low-latency Dante connectivity, the Apollo X16D seamlessly integrates into your digital mixing console, putting over 200 UAD plug-ins right at your fingertips. Built for both live sound engineers and networked recording studios, the Apollo X16D allows you to mix and record studio-quality live sets using emulations of prized vintage gear from Neve, Pultec, LA-2A and 1176.
Recall Plug-In Settings Instantly
The Apollo X16D's powerful mixing engine gives you deep control over inputs, outputs and plug-in routing, allowing you to quickly build your mix and control entire effects chains in real time. Then, recall your precise plug-in settings at the push of a button, even in the middle of a performance, using Universal Audio's Plug-In Scenes. Never lose your settings or interrupt the show again.
Hundreds of Plug-ins in a Single Rack Space
The Apollo X16D delivers a generous suite of UAD plug-ins right out of the box, with options to add up to 100+ plug-ins worth thousands of dollars. Build your mix with emulations of prized vintage gear like the Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs and Neve channel strips. Then add modern essentials from Auto-Tune, Avalon and more. With two editions to choose from, the Apollo X16D puts elite-class plug-in processing well within your reach.
Expand Your Studio Over a Dante Network
Link up to four Apollo X16D interfaces to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy. Or, expand your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio over a Dante network—the most low-latency and scalable audio network available. This means you can transition to a networked recording studio setup without starting from scratch. The Apollo X16D works with nearly any Dante-enabled equipment, opening up a world of configuration possibilities for live and studio use.
Mix Down to Surround Sound
After the show, bring the 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 immersive, 16-channel mixes of your live sets or studio recordings for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio and other cutting-edge formats. With the Apollo X16D, you have an interface tailor-made for today's most advanced audio production.
