The Universal Audio Apollo X8P (Heritage Edition) allows music engineers, producers, and project studios to track, overdub, and mix with new world-beating A/D and D/A conversion, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, and 7.1 surround sound monitoring — all in a sleek rackmount Thunderbolt 3 audio interface for Mac or PC.

The Universal Audio Apollo Heritage Editions deliver a premium software suite of 5 or 10 award-winning UAD plug‑in titles — including the full Collections from Teletronix, Fairchild, Pultec, Helios and UA — conveniently packaged at significant savings. These are the same UAD plug‑ins that built UA’s reputation for analog modeling over the past decade — including vintage compressors, EQs, mic preamps, and reverb — giving you the most accurate library of classic analog emulations anywhere, right out of the box.

Built upon UA’s 60-year heritage of audio craftsmanship, this 18 x 22 interface distinguishes itself with eight Unison-enabled mic preamps, providing authentic emulations of preamps from Neve, API, Manley, Helios, SSL and more, plus all-new HEXA Core processing — yielding 50% more DSP for running UAD Powered Plug-Ins in real time.

In addition to its elite-class audio conversion, Apollo x8p features selectable operating level for compatibility with professional +24 dBu gear, as well as an integrated monitor controller and built-in talkback mic.
