The Universal Audio Apollo x16D is an 18 x 20 Thunderbolt audio interface designed for live sound engineers and networked studios requiring high-quality audio and seamless integration. It features 16 channels of Dante/AES67 digital connectivity, enabling real-time audio transmission over standard Ethernet networks for flexible and scalable setups.
With 24-bit/192 kHz conversion and a 133 dB dynamic range, the Apollo x16D ensures pristine audio fidelity. Its HEXA Core DSP, powered by six SHARC processors, provides substantial UAD plug-in processing power for real-time tracking and mixing with near-zero latency, including emulations of classic analogue hardware from Neve, SSL, and Auto-Tune.
Connectivity on the Universal Audio Apollo x16D includes 16×16 Dante/AES67 digital audio, 2×2 AES/EBU I/O, and two analogue monitor outputs, supporting surround monitoring up to 9.1.6. Up to four units can be linked for a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy, offering a scalable solution for expanding studio and live sound needs.
A powerful digital mixing engine allows deep control over inputs, outputs, and plug-in routing, ideal for live scenarios with instant recall via MIDI. Housed in a rackmount chassis, the Universal Audio Apollo x16D integrates seamlessly into professional setups, with dual Thunderbolt 3 ports for high-speed data transfer and daisy-chaining.
The Universal Audio Apollo x16D delivers world-class conversion, real-time UAD processing, and advanced Dante connectivity, providing an efficient, high-fidelity solution for modern audio production and live sound applications.
