Unison Technology
Thanks to the Apollo Solo USB’s Unison Technology, you get the tone, touch and feel of some of the most sought-after preamps. Including the UA-610-B Tube Preamp, as well as authentic mic preamp emulations from Neve and API, and guitar amp emulations from Fender and Marshall. With these emulations you’ll get the signature impedance, gain stage “sweet spots” and component-level circuit behaviours.
The secret behind this technology is the hardware-software integration between the Apollo Solo’s mic preamps and onboard UAD-2 Processing. Throw a Unison preamp plug-in onto your mic input and it will physically reconfigure the impedance and gain staging. So you’ll have the classic tube and transformer sounds of the worlds most recorded mic preamps and guitar amps.
