Universal Audio has announced that it is shipping a new desktop interface for Windows. Available in stores worldwide, the Apollo Twin X USB features elite-class A/D and D/A conversion inherited directly from the award-winning Apollo X rackmount interfaces, and USB 3 connectivity for Windows.
Available in UAD-2 DUO Core format for running acclaimed UAD plugins in real time, this 10×6 USB 3 audio interface improves upon the original Apollo Twin’s gold-standard audio quality with completely redesigned A/D and D/A conversion — giving recordists increased dynamic range and ultra-low THD.
Apollo Twin X USB gives Windows-based musicians and producers elite-class 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 — Apollo Twin X USB is born to make records.
