Experience the Gold Standard in Audio Recording

The next generation of Apollo x16 is here — built for pro studios and serious music producers who need 16 channels of highest-resolution audio conversion and HEXA Core DSP processing for connecting your studio equipment and producing large sessions with UAD plug-ins from Neve, Manley, Avalon, SSL, Auto-Tune, and hundreds more.

Connect to Award-Winning Sound

With widest dynamic range and lowest distortion ever, Apollo x16 is the only audio interface that connects to your analog gear and patchbays, letting you record and mix with authentic analog sounds in realtime over DB-25 connections with selectable +24 dBu operation.

Hear the Details Like Never Before

Now in its Gen 2 design, Apollo x16 features our highest-resolution A/D and D/A converters to date. And when paired with new features like Apollo Monitor Correction by Sonarworks,* this means you’ll hear the most accurate representation of your recordings when mixing through monitors or headphones.

Mix Down to Surround

Apollo x16 supports mixing formats up to 9.1.6, so you can create 16‑channel immersive audio mixes for Dolby Atmos, Auro‑3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.

Add Hundreds of Effects to Your Rack

Apollo x16 comes in two editions, both delivering a generous suite of UAD plug-ins right out of the box. Build your mix with classic Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, API and SSL channel strips to modern favorites from Auto-Tune, Avalon, and dozens more.

Find Your Perfect Workflow

Easily control all your plug-in routing and monitoring in the UAD Console app. And with the latest features like Bass Management, Immersive Audio up to 9.1.6, and Plug-In Scenes, it’s easy to find a flow that fits your needs.

A Hybrid System for Your Mission

Combine Apollo x16’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.

Expand Your Studio as You Grow

Build out your dream studio by linking up to four Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces for up to 128 channels of premium I/O, 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.
