UA Apollo X6 Gen2 Ess Audio Interface

Universal Audio Apollo x6 Gen 2 Essentials+: Professional Performance, Unprecedented Transparency

The Apollo x6 Gen 2 is designed for the producer who needs more than a standard desktop interface, but does not require 8 preamps. With its focus on high-quality line inputs and surround capabilities, the x6 is the favorite of electronic musicians, sound designers and post-production professionals.

Next Generation Elite Conversion

In the second generation of the Apollo X Series, UA has further optimized the A/D and D/A converters. With a dynamic range of 127 dB and an extremely low noise floor, the x6 Gen 2 offers breadth and depth that will instantly take your mixes to the next level. Whether you’re working on a dense techno mix or a subtle film score, you’ll hear every nuance with surgical precision.

Unison™ Preamps & Extended Line I/O

The x6 features two Unison™ microphone preamplifiers, which let you record vocals and instruments with the exact impedance and sound of vintage hardware. In addition, the interface offers six balanced line inputs, perfect for connecting your favorite synthesizers, drum computers or external preamps.

HEXA Core DSP: Mixing without limits

Thanks to the built-in HEXA Core (6 SHARC processors) you can run large sessions with countless UAD plug-ins without taxing your computer’s processor. With the Essentials+ Edition, you instantly get the industry standard, including:
