Universal Audio Apollo Twin X USB DUO

The introduction of the new Heritage Edition product for Windows.

By

7 September 2023

The New Apollo Twin X USB has all the benefits of the Apollo Twin X, including elite-class A/D and D/A conversion, DUO Core realtime UAD plug-in processing, and Unison-enabled mic preamps, as well as a software suite of 25 award-winning UAD plug-in titles, featuring Collections from Teletronix, Pultec, UA, and more.

Apollo Twin X USB gives musicians and producers audio conversion with the tone, feel, and flow of analog recording, letting you record through preamps from Neve, API, Manley, and more, with near-zero latency. Record vocals and synths in realtime through classic mic preamp emulations from Neve, API, Manley, Avalon, and more. Mix with UAD plug-ins like the included Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, and iconic UA 610 tube preamp.

Apollo Twin X USB 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 elite-class conversion gives you a spacious, organic sound that easily rivals dedicated high-end converters.

With its two Unison preamps and front panel Hi-Z instrument input, Apollo Twin X USB lets you track in realtime through preamp and channel strip plug-ins from Neve, Manley, API, and dozens more, giving you the same rich analog texture as the hardware used on decades of iconic music.

Out of the box, Apollo Twin X USB’s included plug-ins give you album-ready tones in realtime with professional tools like the UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ, Teletronix LA-2A tube compressor, amps from Marshall and Ampeg, and more. Plus, Apollo Twin X USB lets you tap into the entire UAD plug-in library, giving you the proven hit-making sounds of Ocean Way Studios, Capitol Chambers, and hundreds more.
