Universal Audio Apollo x16D Rack Interface with Dante Ultimate

Apollo, meet Dante.
Perfect for live sound venues or networked recording studios, Apollo x16D gives you elite-class Apollo X sound and realtime UAD plug-in processing over Thunderbolt and Dante. With Apollo x16D, you can mix and record live performances with over 200 UAD plug-ins from Neve, SSL, and Auto-Tune, plus classic LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and more.

FEATURES

• Mix studio and live performances using award-winning UAD plug-ins in realtime over Dante

• Use Plug-In Scenes to recall settings instantly, even in the middle of a performance

• Turn any space with ethernet into a multi-room Apollo recording studio

• Link up to four x16Ds for a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy

• Bring your best UAD plug-ins like Auto-Tune, Neve, and Lexicon from studio to stage

• Choose between Essentials+ and Ultimate+ editions, adding up to 100+ UAD plug-ins worth thousands of dollars

• Take Elite-Class Apollo X Sound on Stage

• Universal Audio built Apollo x16D for both live sound engineers and networked recording studios. With its 16 channels of Dante I/O, elite-class audio conversion, and HEXA core DSP processing — the world’s most powerful system for running UAD plug-ins in realtime — Apollo x16D seamlessly connects to your digital mixing console, putting over 200 UAD plug-ins right at your fingertips.

Work Fast & Never Lose Your Settings
With its powerful digital mixing engine giving you control over inputs, outputs, and plug-in routing — Apollo x16D makes it easy to quickly build your mix and control entire effects chains in realtime. Then quickly recall your plug-in settings over MIDI, all without interrupting the performance.

Add Hundreds of Effects to a Single Rack Space
Apollo x16D comes in two editions, both delivering a generous suite of UAD plug-ins right out of the box. Build your mix with classic Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, and Neve channel strips to modern favorites from Auto-Tune, Avalon, and more.

Expand Your Studio Over Dante
Link up to four x16Ds to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy. Or expand your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio over Dante — the most low-latency and scalable audio network available. This means that if you’ve been considering making the switch to a networked recording studio, or you simply want to grow to a multi-room setup, you don’t have to start from scratch.

Mix Down to Surround
After the show, bring Apollo x16D back to the studio, where it becomes your all-in-one monitoring hub for mixing formats up to 9.1.6. This allows you to easily create 16-channel immersive audio mixes of live sets or studio recordings for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.
