  Authentic Analogue Emulations of Iconic Vintage Hardware

  This interface also comes bundled up with a massive stack of plugins, so you can apply analogue emulations made by some of the the big names, including Neve, API and Manley, and record in real-time as well as mix working with some of the most iconic preamps and channel strips in the game. The Apollo X4 also features Apollo Monitor Correction, driven by Sonarworks®, so you’re assured of an optimised and consistent audio image that hands you full control over your mix, keeping things flexible no matter where you’re working.

  A Hybrid Approach

  The Apollo X4 has been designed to support a hybrid workflow, where the interface borrows power from both the on-board DSP and your computer to run native plugins. Up to four Apollo interfaces can also be coupled to control up to 128 channels in your DAW, so this model can even grow alongside your studio. In short, this progressive UA-designed hub supplies everything demanded to complete world-class productions, all from the comfort of your desktop.
