Universal Audio Apollo X4 Gen 2 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface (Essential Edition)

Powerful Desktop Interface for Hybrid Music Production

The Universal Audio Apollo x4 Gen 2 (Essential Edition) is a premium 12-in/18-out Thunderbolt 3 desktop audio interface featuring four Unison-enabled mic preamps, UAD-2 QUAD Core DSP, and elite-class 24-bit/192kHz conversion. Built for serious producers, musicians, and engineers, the Apollo x4 offers expanded I/O and professional power in a sleek desktop format—perfect for tracking full bands or working in hybrid studio environments.

As part of the Essential Edition, it includes the core UAD plug-in bundle, offering exceptional value for users who already have their own plug-in libraries or prefer to build as they go.

Record Through Classic Analog Hardware with Unison Preamps

With four Unison-enabled mic/line preamps, the Apollo x4 lets you track through emulations of legendary analog hardware from Neve, API, Manley, and UA. Unison technology physically adjusts impedance and gain staging at the hardware level to deliver true-to-life analog tone and behavior.

Paired with UAD-2 QUAD Core DSP, you can run compressors, EQs, preamps, and tape emulations in real time while tracking or mixing—with near-zero latency.

High-Performance Conversion and Flexible I/O

Featuring elite 24-bit/192kHz AD/DA conversion, the Apollo x4 captures every nuance of your audio. Its expanded I/O makes it ideal for users who need more than a basic desktop interface but don’t want a full rackmount system.

Connectivity includes:

• 4 x Unison mic/line combo inputs

• 2 x front-panel Hi-Z instrument inputs

• 2 x 1/4″ monitor outputs

• 2 x 1/4″ line outputs

• 2 x 1/4″ headphone outputs

• 1 x Optical input (ADAT) for up to 8 extra channels
