Mix with Vintage & Modern Sounds
Right out of the box, Apollo x6 gives you the tools you need to create awe-inspiring mixes.

Hear the Details Like Never Before
Now in its Gen 2 design, Apollo x6 features UA’s highest-resolution D/A converters ever paired with Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks.® This means that when you playback your audio through monitors or headphones, you’ll not only hear the most pristine representation of your recordings, there will be no surprises when you listen to your final mix or master.
Find Your Flow in the UAD Console App
Just like an analog studio, where a console is the heart of the workflow, Apollo x6 has a powerful digital mixing engine. This is where you control plug-in routing and monitoring. And with the latest features like Auto-Gain, Bass Management, 5.1 Surround Sound and Plug-In Scenes, it’s easy to find a flow that fits your needs.
A Hybrid System, Made for Your Mission
Combine Apollo x6’s HEXA Core DSP with native processing from your host computer. Produce large sessions with complex plug-in chains. In fact, this is a powerhouse hybrid workflow that outpaces any native-only recording setup.
Expand Your Studio as You Grow
Lastly, build your studio by linking up to four Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces. Do so with up to 128 channels of premium I/O to your DAW. Furthermore, control it all from your desktop using Apollo Twin or x4. So no matter how far your music takes you, an Apollo will always be in reach.
