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. 

Hundreds of Effects, One Rack Space

Apollo x16D comes in two bundle versions, 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, Neve, API and SSL channel strips to modern favorites from Avalon, Manley, C-Suite, and more. 

Expand Your Studio Over Dante

Link up to four x16Ds to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy, plus add network end-points with Apollo e1x and e2m using Power-over-Ethernet to form a complete stage rig with networked Unison™ preamps and personal monitoring. Or expand your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio over Dante — the most low-latency and scalable audio network available. 

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 with multi-channel immersive Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks.^® 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.

A Hybrid System, Made for Your Mission

Combine Apollo x16D’s HEXA Core DSP with native processing from your host computer to produce large sessions with complex plug-in chains — a powerhouse hybrid workflow that outpaces any native-only recording setup.
