Universal Audio Apollo w/ QUAD Processing Firewire (Mac/Win)
The Universal Audio Apollo FireWire interface is one of the world’s most renowned interfaces for a reason. For one, the unit provides a professional sound and workflow suitable for any committed recording artist. Whether the artist’s studio is running Windows 7 or a Mac Pro tower, the Apollo is capable of handling it all. Boasting a 18x24 FireWire 800 connection alongside an analog design with pristine A/D and D/A conversion. If all that wasn’t enough, the Apollo sports Realtime UAD-2 Processing and Unison technology, which affords near zero-latency operation of UAD’s entire range of plugins, including their new mic emulations from API, Neve, and Universal Audio.
This version of the Apollo interface features QUAD processing.
