Universal Audio Apollo Twin Mk II – новое поколение звуковых интерфейсов для шины Thunderbolt

Компания Universal Audio на выставке NAMM 2017 представила второе поколение настольных звуковых Thunderbolt-интерфейсов Apollo Twin. Оно включает в себя не две (как раньше), а три модели: Apollo Twin Mk II Solo, Apollo Twin Mk II Duo и Apollo Twin Mk II Quad. Единственное различие между ними, как нетрудно догадаться, заключается в количестве встроенных DSP-процессоров Analog Devices SHARC, обеспечивающих возможность использования фирменных UAD-плагинов.

Звуковые интерфейсы Universal Audio Apollo Twin Mk II унаследовали все достоинства своих предшественников, включая поддержку технологии Unison™. При этом они, как утверждается, обеспечивают ещё более высокое качество звука за счёт использования аналого-цифровых и цифро-аналоговых преобразователей последнего поколения. Кроме этого, новинки предлагают улучшенные функции мониторинга, а также могут похвастать наличием встроенного talkback-микрофона.

Ключевые особенности Apollo Twin Mk II:

• звуковой Thunderbolt-интерфейс 2&times6 для PC/Mac с конвертерами нового поколения;
• три версии устройства (Solo, Duo и Quad) с разным числом DSP;
• технология Unison™, позволяющая использовать различные модели классических ламповых и трансформаторных преампов, гитарных усилителей и стомпбоксов;
• встроенный микрофон talkback для прямой связи с музыкантами;
• улучшенные функции мониторинга;

• два микрофонных/линейных входа с предусилителями премиум-класса и два линейных выхода, а также инструментальный Hi-Z вход и выход на наушники на передней панели;
• два аналоговых мониторных выхода с цифровым управлением;
• дополнительный цифровой оптический вход (8-канальный ADAT или 2-канальный S/PDIF);
• набор UAD-плагинов Realtime Analog Classics в комплекте;
• работа с UAD-плагинами форматов VST, Audio Units, RTAS и AAX 64 во всех основных DAW.

Все три версии обновлённого интерфейса от Universal Audio уже доступны в продаже по следующим ценам:

• $699 за Universal Audio Apollo Twin Mk II Solo;
• $899 за Universal Audio Apollo Twin Mk II Duo;
• $1299 за Universal Audio Apollo Twin Mk II Quad.

Excellent quality

First, I’d like to point out that I’m on Mac m1 and it works perfectly. No dropouts and very stable. The only complaints might be that I’d like to see lower RTL within the daw. Right now it cannot compete with an rme interface in terms of latency. I’d also like to be able to use the buttons on the interface for trigger sessions A and B. Meaning perhaps on session A I have the monitors turned on and session B I have the headphones turned on. For quick switching that would be great. The knob feels great

J. Harmes

Best audio interface ever

I like a lot. It is simple, good sounding, fast and reliable. Ok there is a lack of dsp and it makes working with Luna difficult because there is no freezing button in Luna. For now I am using it and Uad plugins with Logic where it works fine.

I. Efremov

Best friend for my record room

Realtime process excellent

Exceptional For Vocal Monitoring

If you are a vocalist and want that studio vibe while recording your vocals at home, UAD is your answer. The sweet preamps on the unison slot not only give you great harmonics and musicality to monitor with, but also the option to record the signal wet, as you hear it. Used a bunch of expensive sound cards before I took the plunge into the UAD universe, and though the plugins are expensive no doubt, it is way ahead and there is nothing like it out there.

Old school for new times

Although I am still testing my new AU apollo twin duo, the first impression is great.
A very compact, small, portable unit, with such a great power and features. The sound of the preamps is very good. With no hassle I plugged another 8 chanels through the optical input. The plug-ins are looking and sounding superb. I have some of them as a hardware stuff, and it is hard to spot a difference.
Luna looks and feels great. Waiting for the M1 processors compatibility, to go mobile.
Keep on rockin’ UA.
Best regards!

New times-old school

Recently I purchased a new UA Apollo Twin duo heritage edition. Although I am still testing the unit, I have been impressed so far. Compact but very powerful unit. Mic pres sound very good, the plug-ins look and sound great. I was specially impressed by the Marshall Plexy plug-in. It is so far the best emulation of my old but, long time ago sold plexy. Luna software is so intuitive, looking and sounding like the old analog production machines, that I have used before. Some of the plug-in models I have as a hardware, and to be honest, it is very hard to spot the difference. UA, go on with the great stuff. I hope that I will enjoy my new toy in the studio and while traveling. Best regards, Vlatko Stefanovski

Next-Generation Audio Conversion with
Classic Analog Sound.

Apollo 8 is the world’s most acclaimed professional recording interface for Mac and Windows, giving project and commercial studios superior A/D and D/A conversion with the tone, feel, and realtime workflow of classic analog recording.

Built upon UA’s 60-year heritage of audio craftsmanship, Apollo 8 distinguishes itself with four Unison ™ -enabled mic preamps, UAD-2 QUAD or DUO Core processing, an included bundle of award-winning UAD plug-ins — which you can track through with near-zero latency, shaping sounds like a classic analog studio — plus it includes LUNA Recording System, giving you a fully-integrated music production application.

Record with world-class Apollo A/D and D/A conversion — as heard on hundreds of hit records

Cascade up to 4 Apollo interfaces and 6 UAD-2 devices over Thunderbolt, adding DSP and I/O as your studio grows

Produce music with UAD plug-ins like the included Teletronix ® LA-2A, 1176, and Fairchild ® compressors, Pultec ® EQs, and 610-B Preamp

Includes LUNA Recording System — a fully-integrated and inspiring music production application

Unison Technology: The Genuine Sound of Neve, SSL, API & Manley Preamps

Apollo 8 features four Unison-enabled mic preamps, letting you track through exacting mic preamp emulations from Neve, ® SSL, ® API, ® Manley, ® and Universal Audio. An Apollo exclusive, Unison technology nails the tone of these sought-after tube and solid state mic pres — including their input impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and the component-level circuit behaviors of the original hardware.

The secret to Unison is its hardware-software integration between Apollo’s mic preamps and its onboard UAD-2 QUAD Core DSP Acceleration. Simply place a Unison preamp plug-in on your mic input in Apollo Console software, and it physically reconfigures the Apollo interface’s impedance — so you can tap into the classic sounds of the world’s most recorded mic preamps.

Analog Processing Onboard»/>

A Full Suite of Classic
Analog Processing Onboard

Right out of the box, Apollo 8 provides a suite of incredible analog emulation plug-ins including the world’s only authentic Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN, and Fairchild compressors, the legendary Pultec EQs, and the Unison-enabled UA 610-B Tube Preamp. Developed by UA’s world-renowned team of algorithm engineers, these Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins set the standard by which all other hardware emulation plug-ins are judged.

From the tube warmth of the Pultec EQ on guitars, to the gentle limiting of the LA-2A on vocals, or the pump of a genuine Fairchild 670 compressor on drums, your recordings will take a giant leap forward in rich, sonically complex analog sound.

Access the World of UAD Powered Plug-Ins

Beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins, you can tap into the full library award-winning UAD Powered Plug-Ins — including vintage EQs, Compressors, Reverbs, Tape Machines and more — at near-zero latency, regardless of your audio software’s buffer size and without taxing your computer’s CPU.

With exclusive emulations from Neve, Studer, Manley, API, Ampex, Lexicon, Fender, and more, † it’s like having an endless analog studio, in a single rack space. And unlike competing interfaces, these DSP-powered plug-ins are also available in your DAW for mixing.

Next-Generation A/D and D/A Conversion

Of course, the heart of any audio interface is the quality of its conversion. In designing the next-generation Apollo range, UA engineers started with an obsessive auditioning of the latest A/D and D/A converters, ultimately pairing the selected 24-bit/192kHz converters with all-new analog circuitry for the optimal signal path. Apollo 8 provides increased dynamic range and lower THD versus other interfaces — rivaling dedicated converters costing thousands more.

The Apollo Story

Watch UA’s Lev Perrey explain the innovative thinking behind the next-generations Apollos.

Apollo: The Choice of New-School Professionals

Apollo is the confirmed choice of hit-making professionals, used to record landmark albums by Kendrick Lamar (DAMN.), Chris Stapleton (From A Room: Volume 1), Arcade Fire (Everything Now), Post Malone (Beerbongs & Bentleys), and many more. The Apollo range of interfaces has earned numerous industry awards from Sound on Sound, Future Music, and Electronic Musician — as well as the prestigious TEC Award for computer audio hardware five years running.

“ Apollo’s A/D and D/A conversion sounds incredibly detailed, with great clarity and a tight, punchy low end. And with the Console 2.0 app, I have all of the routing and monitoring options I need. ”
– Dave Pensado (Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Maroon 5)

“ Apollo is a platform that grows more powerful with every innovation – the UAD plug-in processing onboard has changed the way I work forever. ”
– Tony Platt (AC/DC, Bob Marley, Buddy Guy)

“ I’m really impressed with the Apollo X8. I hear more detail in the several sets of monitors I use, and I’m getting that little bit extra out of the Unison mic pre emulations – and they were already extremely close. ”
– Jacquire King (James Bay, Kings of Leon, Tom Waits)

“ The Apollo is the best I/O we’ve ever used, and we’ve tried them all. It has an incredibly clean, transparent, and accurate sound. ”
– The Glitch Mob

“ Having the Apollo with UAD plug-ins at my disposal is like carrying a giant studio with outboard racks at all times. Minus the tech fees, down time, and electricity bill! ”
– Andrew Dawson (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Fun.)

“ My Apollos are my sound.
Where I go, they go. ”
– Trevor Lawrence Jr. (Dr. Dre, Herbie Hancock, Eminem)

“ The Apollo’s ability to do low latency – I mean that’s the whole ballgame right there. ”
– Joey Waronker (Atoms for Peace, Beck, Other Lives)

“ With the Apollo 8 in the studio and an Apollo Twin on the go, I know I’ve got the best sound quality and an incredible arsenal of plug-ins — wherever I’m working. ”
– Jeremy Ruzumna (Fitz And The Tantrums)

“ UAD plug-ins are amazing.
I’ve used them on all my projects
for the last few years. ”
– Dan Auerbach The Black Keys

“ Overall, Apollo 8 sounds smooth and sweet, revealing subtle details with superior phase response and lower distortion than the original Apollo. UA has certainly improved on an already excellent device. ”
– Mick Guzauski (Daft Punk, Mariah Carey, Eric Clapton)

“ I knew about the ingredients of Apollo, but this is truly a special dish. The Apollo just set a new standard of excellence for audio interfaces, in terms of both its sound and its feature set. ”
– Fab Dupont (Shakira, Santigold, Jennifer Lopez)

“ Using my Apollos and Console 2.0, I’m able to front a live mix, create a monitor mix, and record, all at the same time. That’s pretty awesome. ”
– Chris Dugan (Green Day, Iggy Pop, U2)

“ The Apollo is a powerhouse and a game changer for my studio. ”
– Grieves
