Trusted for decades by top artists and producers, Apollo Twin X brings timeless sound and legendary UA craftsmanship right to your desktop.

Get the Best Apollo Yet on Your Desktop

Universal Audio built Apollo Twin X for the next generation of music producers looking to capture the sounds used by the world's biggest artists for decades. With its unprecedented dynamic range and elite-class 24-bit / 192 kHz audio conversion — now with enhanced monitoring — Apollo Twin X is ready for your own creative journey, bringing the sound of the stars into your studio.

Record Through World-Famous Preamps

With two Unison™ preamps and a front-panel Hi-Z instrument input, Apollo Twin X lets you track in realtime through emulations of classic gear from Neve, Manley, API, and dozens more, giving you the same rich analog textures used on the greatest recordings of our time.

Mix With Authentic Analog Sounds

Right out of the box, Apollo Twin X gives you the tools used in the world's biggest studios. Along with included Teletronix LA-2A compressors, Pultec EQs, and amps from Marshall and Ampeg, you can tap into the entire library of over 200 UAD plug-ins and unlock proven hit-making sounds like Ocean Way Studios, Capitol Chambers, and many more.

Hear the Details Like Never Before

Now in its Gen 2 design, Apollo Twin X features UA's highest-resolution D/A converters ever paired with Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks. When you play back through monitors or headphones you'll hear the most pristine representation of your recordings — and there will be no surprises when you check your final mix or master.

Find Your Flow in the UAD Console App

Just like an analog studio where a console is the heart of the workflow, Apollo Twin X has a powerful digital mixing engine for plug-in routing and monitoring. With features like Auto-Gain, Bass Management, and Plug-In Scenes, it's easy to find a flow that fits your needs.

A Hybrid System, Made for Your Mission

Combine Apollo Twin X's QUAD Core DSP with native processing from your host computer to produce large sessions with complex plug-in chains — a powerhouse hybrid workflow that outpaces any native-only recording setup. The QUAD Core variant doubles the DSP headroom of the DUO Core, letting you stack more Unison preamps, channel strips, and 1176/LA-2A instances per track.

Expand Your Studio as You Grow

Build your studio by linking up to four Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces with up to 128 channels of premium I/O to your DAW, and control it all from your desktop using Apollo Twin X. So no matter how far your music takes you, an Apollo will always be in reach.
