Apollo x8P Gen 2 Studio Bundle

UA's next generation of Apollo x8p interfaces is here, for producers and engineers who need highest-resolution audio conversion, eight Unison™ mic preamps, and HEXA Core DSP processing for recording and mixing large sessions with world-class UAD plug-ins from Auto-Tune, Neve, Manley, Avalon, SSL, and hundreds more. Used by top producers and engineers around the globe, Apollo x8p is the world's most trusted interface for professional audio production.

Add the World's Most Trusted Interface to Your Rack

Universal Audio built Apollo x8p for pro engineers and producers who need highest-quality audio and expanded analog inputs for larger sessions. With its award-winning Apollo X sound — now with unprecedented dynamic range and enhanced D/A monitoring — Apollo x8p puts authentic analog sound right in your rack.

Record Through Eight Unison Preamps

With Unison™ technology, Apollo x8p lets you track in realtime through emulations of classic preamps and channel strips from Neve, Manley, API, and dozens more, giving you the same rich analog textures used on the greatest recordings of our time. With eight Unison inputs you can mic an entire drum kit, brass section, or string ensemble without ever leaving the analog domain.

Unlock Authentic Analog Sounds

Right out of the box, Apollo x8p gives you the tools used by the world's best engineers. 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 x8p 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 listen to your final mix or master on any stereo or surround system.

Find Your Flow in the UAD Console App

Apollo x8p has a powerful digital mixing engine where you control plug-in routing and monitoring. With Auto-Gain, Bass Management, 7.1 Surround Sound, and Plug-In Scenes, it's easy to find a flow that fits your needs.

A Hybrid System, Made for Your Mission

Combine Apollo x8p's HEXA 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.
