Universal Audio Apollo X4 Heritage Edition Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface, QUAD Overview
The Universal Audio Apollo X4 Thunderbolt 3 lets musicians track, overdub, and mix larger projects with ease. It has four Unison preamps which let you track through sounds from Neve, Helios, Capital Studios, Manley, Ampex, UA and more with close to zero latency. There are also two Hi-Z instrument inputs that also have Unison technology and two headphone outputs which make it easy to work with other musicians in the room.
The audio conversation has been redesigned by UA to deliver 127 dB dynamic range and -117 dB THD+N. Combine up to four Thunderbolt Apollos and six total UAD-2 devices, adding more I/O and DSP.
The Apollo X series also has new Dual-Crystal clocking, with dedicated crystal oscillators for 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz and 48/96/192 kHz sample rates —resulting in extremely low jitter, measured at less than 10 picoseconds at all sample rates. For you, this means pure, artefact-free recordings and solid stereo imaging.
Thunderbolt connectivity and real-time processing mean there will be almost zero latency. Apollo X series audio interfaces work with all major DAWs.
