{"product_id":"universal-audio-apx16g2-ult","title":"Universal Audio Apollo x16 18x20 Thunderbolt Interface | UAD Complete","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Apollo x16 Gen 2 is engineered for professional recording studios that require the highest-resolution analog I\/O in a single rack space. With 16 channels of DB25-connected analog I\/O, switchable +24 dBu headroom, and dual Thunderbolt 3 ports for daisy-chaining up to four units, it scales from mid-size suites to large-format console environments handling 64 channels of elite-class conversion. Pro engineers tracking to tape emulations, mixing on consoles, or running hybrid sessions will find the 1.1 ms round-trip latency at 96 kHz and Dual-Crystal Clocking indispensable for maintaining tight synchronization across complex signal chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHEXA Core DSP onboard allows simultaneous UAD plug-in processing across VST, AU, and AAX 64 formats without taxing the host CPU, enabling dense sessions with classic hardware emulations from Neve, SSL, Teletronix, Pultec, and more to run in realtime. The flagship monitor D\/A section — with 133 dB dynamic range and -129 dB THD — delivers reference-grade playback suited to critical mixing and mastering decisions. Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks further extends its utility for engineers working across rooms or calibrating immersive setups up to 9.1.6 for Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D deliverables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere comparable Thunderbolt interfaces rely on native-only processing or offer fewer analog outputs, the Apollo x16 Gen 2 combines hardware-grade I\/O density with onboard DSP and an expanding plug-in ecosystem — making it the preferred backbone for studios that need both conversion quality and processing power in a single 1U unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Audio","offers":[{"title":"With UAD Complete","offer_id":52450936684728,"sku":"146481","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/7382\/4696\/files\/146481_UNIAUD-APX16G2-ULT_ALT05sqr.jpg?v=1784138091","url":"https:\/\/soundpro.com\/products\/universal-audio-apx16g2-ult","provider":"SoundPro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
