Universal Audio Apollo x16D Rackmount Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface with Dante & UAD Complete Bundle

Perfect for live sound venues and networked recording studios, the Universal Audio Apollo x16D is an 18x20 rackmount Thunderbolt 3 audio interface with Dante that gives you elite-class Apollo X 24-bit / 192 kHz audio conversion and HEXA Core Processing for real-time UAD plug-in processing over Thunderbolt and Dante at near-zero latency—on Mac and Windows computers. This configuration includes the UAD Complete Bundle, allowing you to mix and record live performances with more over 200 UAD plug-ins from Neve, SSL, Lexicon, and Manley, plus classic LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and more. You can also use Plug-In Scenes to recall settings instantly, even in the middle of a performance.

Take Elite-Class Apollo X Sound on Stage

Offering the most powerful system for running UAD plug-ins in real time, Apollo x16D is built for both live sound engineers and networked recording studios.

The interface seamlessly connects to your digital mixing console, putting over 200 included UAD plug-ins right at your fingertips (UAD Complete).

Work Fast and Never Lose Your Settings

With its powerful digital mixing engine giving you control over inputs, outputs, and plug-in routing, Apollo x16D makes it easy to build your mix and control entire effect chains in real time.

Then quickly recall your plug-in settings over MIDI, all without interrupting the performance.

Expand Your Studio Over Dante

Link up to four x16Ds to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy.

Or expand your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio over Dante—the most low-latency and scalable audio network available.

Mix Down to Surround

After the show, bring 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 16-channel immersive audio mixes of live sets or studio recordings for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.
