Universal Audio Apollo x4 Gen 2

The Apollo x4 Gen 2 Thunderbolt audio interface from Universal Audio packs the functionality and performance of larger rack units into a compact form factor to deliver one of the most powerful desktop interfaces on the market. This 12-input, 18-output interface is perfect as the centerpiece to home and project studios, with top-shelf digital audio conversion and processing, premium Unison preamps, essential plug-ins, and all the convenient features you need to take your next production to the next level. Experience for yourself what the legendary sound of Apollo interfaces has brought to musicians all over the world, bringing the best out of every performance and production.

The Apollo x4 gives you four powerful Unison mic preamps which leverage UA's industry-leading analog emulations to provide flexible flavors of console sound from Neve, API, SSL, and more. Capture and playback recordings with precise detail and clarity thanks to the x4's elite-class audio conversion at 24-bit / 192kHz to translate all the nuance in your performances to the final mix. With the included Essentials+ bundle of instrument and effect plug-ins, you can harness the power of onboard QUAD core DSP processing to follow your creativity into complex signal flows while preserving premium sound.

Professional sound and a comprehensive toolset are only the beginning of where the Apollo x4 shines, also boasting a number of convenient features for home and project studios. Accurate monitoring is essential for quality mixes, but room treatment isn't always within reach outside of professional studios, which is why UA has equipped the Apollo x4 with Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks. This technology compensates for the idiosyncrasies of your space to deliver accurate monitoring in either speakers or headphones, so there are no surprises after bouncing your mix. Inside the newly refined UAD Console app, you can set up plug-in scenes, mix cues, and custom routings, making it easy to jump between projects and workflows. Auto-gain leveling makes it easy to set levels across all channels, so you never miss that perfect first take. Whether you are just starting to get serious about production or need a professional centerpiece to your studio built to support the musical journey ahead, the Apollo x4 Essentials+ Edition provides everything you need to bring the best out of your next production.
