Apollo x4 is a desktop 12 × 18 Thunderbolt 3 audio interface with real-time UAD-2 QUAD Core processor and four Unison mic preamps for Mac and Windows

AD / DA in the elite class

Apollo x4 has A / D and D / A converters in the absolute elite class, four Unison preamps and QUAD Core real-time UAD plug-in processors and LUNA recording System integration (Mac) - all contained in a smart desktop Thunderbolt 3 interface for Mac and Windows

Apollo x4 builds on Universal Audio's more than 60-year history in the production of high-end audio equipment and takes the driver's jersey in its price range with a 127 dB dynamic range and an included collection of the acclaimed UAD plug-ins with analog emulations, so you get a turnkey analog studio that can stand right on your desk.

Four Unison preamps

The four Unison-compatible preamps let you record through precise and detailed microphone preamp emulations from Neve, API, Manley, Helios, UA and more. With Unison technology, the sound of the most coveted analog tube and solid state preamps is hit precisely, where details in the hardware circuit and impedance can be changed by the software in order to achieve a completely accurate emulation of the original hardware.

With the Apollo x4, you can record with close to 0 latency through emulations such as the included UA 610-B Tube Preamp and EQ, thus achieving authentic analog sound not found in other interfaces. The Unison technology is also available in the two instrument inputs on the front, so you can record with the precise impedance and gain characteristics from guitar and bass amplifier emulations from Fender, Marshall, Ampeg etc.

LUNA Recording System included

Apollo x4 can be used with all major DAWs such as Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cubase etc. But it will be a fully integrated system with LUNA, a new revolutionary recording software for Mac from Universal Audio. Supported by Accelerated Realtime Monitoring, LUNA gives you an intuitive one-window workflow where you can record and mix with an unlimited number of tracks, full AU support and access to an exclusive selection of LUNA instruments and extensions.
From integrated Studer multitrack tape and built-in Neve Summing to instruments from Moog et al. LUNA transforms your Apollo interface into the most inspiring music workshop on the planet.

Large UAD plug-in bundle

Apollo x4 comes with “Realtime Analog Classics Plus” - a plug-in bundle containing UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ, Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Marshall® Plexi Classic Guitar Amp, Ampeg® SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp, Pultec EQs etc., so you have a well-sounding rack of well-known processors and effects available from the start.

More in / outs and talkback mic

In addition to the four Unison preamps, the Apollo x4 has two independent headphone outputs and two Hi-Z instrument inputs. With 4 line outputs, optical ADAT / SPDIF in / out, monitor remote controls and built-in talkback microphone, the Apollo x4 can serve as the cornerstone of your professional desktop studio.

Expansion options

If you later need to expand the studio, you can combine up to four Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces and six UAD units in total, so you can expand with more in / outs and more DSP along the way. If you later expand with an Apollo x rack interface, you can use the Apollo x4 as a monitor controller on the table, which at the same time provides extra DSP and more in / out.
