Universal Audio Apollo X8p Gen 2 Thunderbolt 3 Audio Interface (Studio Edition)

Professional Rackmount Interface with 8 Unison Preamps and Studio Plug-ins

The Universal Audio Apollo x8p Gen 2 (Studio Edition) is a 16-in/22-out Thunderbolt 3 audio interface designed for professional studios, producers, and engineers who require extensive analog input, elite audio conversion, and powerful real-time UAD plug-in processing. Featuring eight Unison-enabled mic preamps, UAD-2 HEXA Core DSP, and a wide selection of Studio Edition plug-ins, the x8p is the ultimate front-end for tracking large sessions with analog depth and digital precision.

Perfect for full band recordings, hybrid setups, and commercial studios, Apollo x8p brings classic analog tone and cutting-edge audio tech together in one powerful rackmount unit.

Track Through Iconic Gear with Unison Preamps

The Apollo x8p features eight Unison-enabled mic/line preamps, allowing you to record through spot-on emulations of classic analog preamps from Neve, API, Manley, UA, and more. Unison technology adjusts the hardware impedance and gain staging of each input to precisely match the original analog hardware.

Combined with the UAD-2 HEXA Core DSP engine, you can apply vintage EQs, compressors, and reverbs while tracking—with near-zero latency, just like using the real outboard gear.

Elite A/D and D/A Conversion with Flexible I/O

With 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution and mastering-grade conversion, the Apollo x8p delivers detailed, transparent sound throughout the entire signal chain. Its I/O layout includes:

• 8 x XLR/TRS combo mic/line inputs

• 2 x Hi-Z instrument inputs

• 10 x line outputs

• Optical ADAT/SPDIF for expansion
