Why the Pros Choose Apollo
For more than 15 years, the world's top music makers, producers and engineers have turned to Apollo interfaces above all others. The reason is simple. Only Apollo gives you authentic analog studio sounds in real time — so your performances feel inspired.
The Converters that Launched a Thousand Hits
Many audio interfaces compromise where it matters most: the analog-to-digital conversion that captures your music. Apollo is built upon the same cutting-edge 24-bit / 192 kHz A/D and D/A converter technology trusted by more award-winning music artists, every single year.
With Apollo, each nuance, transient, and harmonic you worked hard for makes it through. What you record is exactly what you played and heard in the room
Authentic Neve, SSL, API, and Avalon Mic Preamp Tones
Vintage mic preamps can cost tens of thousands of dollars. They're part of what makes big analog studios sound so great. Apollo's exclusive Unison technology physically models the input impedance, gain stage behavior, and circuit saturation of classic mic preamps — including the famed Neve 1073, API Vision, SSL 4000 E, Avalon VT-737, and more.
With Unison, your mic or instrument responds to Apollo's preamp as it would through the real hardware, giving you unmistakable analog warmth, before the signal ever hits your DAW.
What They Say
Apollo is central to my recordings. It captures the depth, punch, and detail exactly how I hear it. I run everything through it.
Karriem Riggins

Apollo will go down in history as one of the greatest audio products ever created. It’s so easy to get professional level results straight out of the box.
Carlos de la Garza
Paramore, The Linda Lindas, Young the Giant
The Apollo sound is detailed and punchy without any harshness. With Apollo X Gen 2, a great interface is now even better.

Perform with a Finished-Record Sound in Realtime
Savvy record-makers know that when the talent sounds good in their headphones, they usually deliver a more inspired take. But that can mean adding plug-ins, taxing your CPU and forcing you to manage latency instead of making music.
Apollo's onboard UAD processing solves this. Built-in DSP runs acclaimed UAD plug-ins at near-zero latency, so your singers and players hear amazing reverb, compression, and EQ that sounds like a record — while they're recording. Inspiration unlocked.
Award-Winning UAD Plug-Ins
In a world of audio plug-ins, UAD stands alone. For more than 20 years, these plug-ins have set the industry standard for painstakingly faithful hardware emulation. Neve 1073. Lexicon 224. Sound City Studios. Ampex 224. API 2500. Capitol Chambers. EL Distressor. Ocean Way Studios. UA 1176. Manley Voxbox… and hundreds more.
With UAD plug-ins, you have all-access to these "golden unit" emulations, instruments, and famous studio spaces, right in your DAW. Developed in collaboration with the original hardware manufacturers and studios, UAD plug-ins add character to your music like nothing else.

Apollo interfaces come in a range of sizes, formats, and onboard UAD processing levels. Better still, Apollos can be networked together over Thunderbolt or Dante (Apollo x16D) as your studio or live sound needs grow.

Hear Your Mix, Not Your Room
Every room colors your mix. Uneven frequency response, parallel reflections, and bass build-up in your room can all conspire to keep your final mix from sounding great to all your listeners. Thankfully, there's Apollo Monitor Correction. Until now.
Apollo Monitor Correction
Apollo Monitor Correction, developed exclusively with Sonarworks®, lets you consistently calibrate your room, monitors, and headphones across listening environments — just like the pros. Monitor Correction software runs on Apollo's built-in DSP, so it won’t tax your system. More importantly, you'll get final mixes that always translate to your listeners.
