Universal Audio Apollo x8p Gen 2 Thunderbolt Interface
For producers and engineers who demand pristine audio and robust processing power, the Universal Audio Apollo x8p Gen 2 is the centerpiece of the modern studio. This is a complete recording system built to handle large, complex sessions while preserving the analog warmth that defines professional recordings. With elite-class conversion, eight Unison preamps, and powerful HEXA Core DSP processing, all in a sleek rackmount design, it provides everything you need to capture timeless sound.
The Analog Heart of Your Digital Studio
The Apollo x8p is trusted by top engineers around the globe because it seamlessly merges world-class hardware with an expansive suite of UAD plug-ins. It’s your direct line to legendary sound.
Elite-Class Gen 2 Audio Conversion: Hear your music with breathtaking clarity. The updated converters offer the widest dynamic range and lowest distortion of any Apollo, ensuring every nuance of your performance is captured and played back with stunning accuracy.
Eight Unison Mic Preamps: Record through the authentic sound of preamps from Neve, API, Manley, and Avalon. Unison technology perfectly models the impedance, gain stage "sweet spots," and component-level behaviors of classic analog gear, letting you track with rich, album-quality texture in real time.
HEXA Core DSP Processing: Run complex mixes with tons of UAD plug-ins without taxing your computer’s CPU. The six SHARC processors provide the horsepower needed for tracking and mixing large sessions, giving you a stable and powerful hybrid workflow.
Premium Software Suite: Get started right away with a collection of award-winning UAD plug-ins. The included Essentials+ or Studio+ bundles give you access to classic compressors, EQs, and reverbs from Teletronix, Pultec, Auto-Tune, and more, providing thousands of dollars in value right out of the box.
Find Your Perfect Workflow
The Apollo x8p is built to be the heart of your creative process, adapting to your needs with intuitive features that let you focus on the music. Forget wrestling with menus and settings; this interface is designed to keep you in the flow.
Apollo Monitor Correction: Mix with confidence in any environment. Powered by Sonarworks, this feature calibrates your monitor and headphone outputs to ensure your mixes translate accurately, no matter where they’re heard. No more second-guessing your low-end in an untreated room.
Auto-Gain: Nail your levels in seconds. This smart feature automatically sets the optimal gain for multiple inputs simultaneously, so you can capture the perfect take without worrying about clipping or weak signals.
The UAD Console App: Experience a digital mixing engine that feels like an analog console. Set up low-latency cues, create plug-in chains, and manage immersive audio monitoring with an easy-to-use interface that keeps your entire session organized and at your fingertips.
Professional Connectivity for Any Studio
With its comprehensive I/O and expandability, the Apollo x8p is ready to grow with you. Whether you're recording a full band or mixing a surround sound project, this interface provides the connections you need to get the job done right.
Versatile I/O: The x8p is packed with 16 x 22 channels, including eight Unison mic preamps, two Hi-Z instrument inputs, and flexible digital I/O via ADAT/SPDIF. DB-25 connectors make it easy to integrate with patchbays and outboard gear.
7.1 Surround Sound Monitoring: Move into immersive audio with support for up to 7.1 surround sound. The integrated Bass Management system also allows you to add a subwoofer to your monitor setup, so you can hear every detail in the low end of your mix.
Expand Your System: As your studio grows, so can your Apollo setup. Link up to four Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces for a massive channel count, all controlled from a single desktop, ensuring your rig is always ready for your next big project.
