It's the top model in the Apollo X rackmount line, built for integration with an analog console and an established outboard rig, not for direct mic-level tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGen 2 AD\/DA conversion hits the highest dynamic range in the Apollo lineup at 133dB with -129dB THD, using switchable +24dBu headroom matched to professional gear operating levels. 16 input and output channels on DB-25 connectors patch directly into a console, patchbay, or external preamps — the x16 deliberately has no preamps of its own, on the assumption that the engineer already has an analog signal chain in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA converter built for a console-centered studio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a large studio with an analog mixing console and a dedicated preamp rack, built-in preamps on the interface are redundant — and can even complicate routing. Apollo x16 drops them entirely in favor of 16 clean line-level DB-25 channels, leaving preamp choice to the existing analog gear while keeping the highest conversion quality in the Apollo portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImmersive mixing up to 9.1.6 without an extra processor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the only model in the line supporting immersive formats up to 9.1.6, it's a natural hub for post-production rooms mixing in Dolby Atmos. The HEXA Core processor handles UAD plugins independent of the DAW's buffer, and Apollo Monitor Correction covers both stereo and multichannel configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18x20 Thunderbolt 3 audio interface, rackmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 channels of line-level-only I\/O via DB-25 connectors, no built-in preamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable +24dBu headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24-bit\/192kHz AD\/DA conversion, Gen 2, 133dB dynamic range, -129dB THD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUAD-2 HEXA Core processor for real-time plug-in processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Analog Classics bundle: LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, UA 610 preamp, guitar amp simulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmersive audio support up to 9.1.6 with bass management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStereo AES I\/O (XLR), BNC wordclock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpandable to 64 channels by cascading 4 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfiguration: 18 inputs \/ 20 outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConversion: 24-bit \/ 192kHz, Gen 2, dual-crystal clocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: 133dB, -129dB THD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog inputs: 2 x DB-25 (lines 1-16), switchable +24dBu headroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog outputs: 2 x XLR monitor, 2 x DB-25 (lines 1-16 or ALT\/9.1.6 surround)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital I\/O: stereo AES (XLR), BNC wordclock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer connection: Thunderbolt 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDSP: UAD-2 HEXA Core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: macOS, Windows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: UAD Analog Classics plug-in bundle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"UNIVERSAL AUDIO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49838977220945,"sku":"54805","price":3586.42,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/UniversalAudioApollox16Gen2Essentials_1.jpg?v=1754398770","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/apollo-x16-with-uad-analog-classics","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
