Apollo Twin X DUO Gen 2 Thunderbolt Audio Interface 產品外觀

The Universal Audio Apollo Twin X DUO Gen 2 is a desktop Thunderbolt audio interface from Universal Audio, featuring elite-class Apollo X Gen 2 conversion with 24-bit / 192 kHz resolution and 129 dB dynamic range, dual Unison™ mic preamps, and DUO Core DSP processing that lets you record in realtime through 200+ UAD plug-ins from Neve, Manley, SSL, Auto-Tune and more.

Unlike native-only setups, Apollo Twin X DUO's hybrid DSP architecture lets you monitor classic analog tones at near-zero latency, so you hear the finished sound while you track — not after. From vocals and guitars to full arrangements, create with the same tones used in the world's top studios for decades.

Apollo Twin X FAQ

Q：What's the difference between the DUO and QUAD versions?

▼

A：The DSP core count — DUO has two cores, QUAD has four, so QUAD runs more simultaneous UAD plug-ins. Conversion, preamps and I/O are the same.

Q：Should I choose the UAD Analog Classics or Analog Classics Pro version?

▼

A：Choose Pro for a more complete set of third-party classics (Neve/SSL/API/Manley, 80+ titles); choose Analog Classics if budget is the priority and UA's own classics are enough.

Q：Does Apollo Twin X DUO Gen 2 work on Windows?

▼

A：Yes. It runs on both Mac and Windows and is compatible with LUNA, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton Live and other major DAWs.

Q：Can I expand later?

▼

A：Yes. You can link up to four Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces for up to 128 channels as your studio grows.
