The absolute best
The Apollo quad is simply the very best interface out there. I spent months researching all types of Mixers & Audio Interfaces before I made the decision to purchase the Apollo, and I am so happy I did. If your goal is to create great sounding music, then the Apollo is the tool you need to make it happen. I go to sleep dreaming about my Apollo.

do i need to say any thing more?
so many awards, so many revies, such a popular interface
i'm glad with the AD and DA and pres
but it's has an unexpected click and pop moise during tracking sounds sometimes, i dont know why

Very nice piece of gear
The best audio interface of its segment. I gave it 4 stars rating because it has a bit of noise on both headphones.

Simply amazing!
Upgraded from a Presonus Firepod....world of difference! Amazing piece of hardware. Little bit of a learning curve, but its well worth it. My mixes have never ever sounded this good and the plugs-ins are amazing as well. Now, I've never been in, used, or recorded in a top notch studio with all the high end gear, but I imagine this is as close as it gets without dropping a very large wad of cash. If your in the market for something in this range...I would highly recommend the Apollo. Of course, I've never tried any of the other high end gear out there, so take it for what its worth. You will not be unhappy. Oh yeah, and DSP has completely freed up my PC resources! No more hang ups!

Apollo lives up to the hype
Best Audio interface I've ever owned hands down. I bought my Apollo Quad with the Thunderbolt option and it works flawlessly. Now the world of UAD plugins is open to me and they are fantastic.
As an Apollo owner I just received the UA 610-B Tube Preamp and it integrates with the Apollo hardware. I can now record through the 610-B and adjust parameters with the Apollo controls. This is they way audio hardware and software should work together. Job well done Universal Audio!

Apollo Duo
I recently purchased an Apollo Duo to interface with my Protools 10 software. In all regards I am extremely impressed. Firstly, the unit is well built and very easy to set up and install. Integration with Protools is seamless and intuitive. The Apollo console must have been designed by people who understand analog signal flow. After viewing a few tutorial videos and reviewing sections in the owner's manual I was up and running and immediately felt at home. I also utilize a Dangerous Music D-Box in my set up and I'm impressed with the UA converters summing into the analog summing mixer of the D-Box. Costumer service has been top notch as well. Very impressed with the UA plug ins as well. A perfect experience all around. Thanks!

THE HEADPHONE'S KNOBS MAKE NOISE WHEN TURNED
when i turn my knobs of the microphone they do that annoying noise.. very amateur.... what can i do to get it better?
T. Levin
Great gear!
After many headaches and money I finally made it with all the components (like firewire,motherboard etc) and this interface is amazing! Tons of effects and plugins, powerful machine with great controlling console.
Do yourself a favor. Get up and go buy one.

Sound Max Live
Very clean signal from this interface, with straight forward controls and functions... a great addition to my rack. Mic pre's are pretty good as well along with the plug-in's qualities.

APOLLO DUO
I'm thrilled... True quality of sound. Cannot get out of the studio. Fantastic.

The Best
What can I say? UA has surpassed all competition for professional digital recording interfaces with the Apollo series. The UAD plugins are exceptional, the fidelity of the units' AD/DA components is premium, and the hardware and software UI designs are beautiful and convenient. Can't wait to receive my Thunderbolt card!

Apollo Quad
Hi as a polynesian producer singer/songwritter I love the Apollo quad
It's the perfect piece of equipment for my needs and the sound quality and the use of effects before and after recordings is just amazingly fast with my mac book pro.
I'm waitting for my thunderbolt card to come....to be even faster
mahalo to the UA team
Aloha

Amazing Quality, Questionable Performance
This review is for a UAD Apollo Quad used with a 15" Macbook Pro Retina with 16GB Ram.
The Apollo is an amazing piece of gear. It has revolutionized my production setup and is a huge leap forward from my Mackie Onyx. I only wish it was more stable.
I'm still waiting on my free thunderbolt expansion card (Months? Really?) so this review is for the Firewire connection.
I regularly experienced dropped UAD plugins (around 4 Ampex & 4 Roland Dimension plugins) as well as glitchy audio when pausing / staring ableton playback. Worse still, I frequently experience drastic latency with UAD plugins as well as UAD failure which requires a complete system reboot and Apollo restart before functioning.
I would still highly recommend the apollo.
E. Peguero
highly recommended.
I upgraded from Digi003 to the Apollo duo, big change, I use it with my channel strip 6176, which i love for vocals. AD/DA conversion is better than anything i had before.
i only gave it 4 stars because i think it need it a least one more monitor out and a mute button. no biggy though.
