Universal Audio Apollo X8 HEXA + Thunderbolt Cable Overview
The Apollo X8 Thunderbolt 3 is an 18x24 audio interface that has 4 Unison-enabled preamps giving you authentic tones from Neve, API, Manley, SSL, and more. The interface uses A/D D/A converters with newly designed analogue circuitry to give you the lowest signal-to-noise ratio, between 129 dB dynamic range and -118 dB. It’s a great interface for producers and engineers that work on music and audio for TV, video games, and the web.
You can connect with various professional-level studio gear with the switchable +24 and +20 dBu headroom settings, work in 7.1 surround sound, and built-in talkback allows you to communicate easily.
The Realtime Analog suite is included, with analogue and digital sounds from Marshall Plexi Ampeg, Pultec EQ, and Fairchild 670 tube compressor. There are also lots of effects such as distortion, compression, reverb, and delay.
You can combine the Apollo X8 with up to four more Thunderbolt-equipped Apollos if you need more inputs and outputs, and the X8 benefits from backward compatibility with Thunderbolt 1 and 2.
The StarTech TBLT3MM1M cable lets you connect to any Thunderbolt 3 port (USB-C) to deliver video and data to your Thunderbolt, USB, and DisplayPort devices. Plus, the cable can provide power for charging your devices, and you can link up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices as part of a daisy-chained connection.
