Universal Audio Apollo Twin X DUO Heritage Edition

Product Information

Introduced in 1969, the Ampeg SVT bass amp is still the reigning king of high-powered tube bass tone.

Exclusive to UA Audio Interfaces, Unison technology nails the tone of these sought-after tube and solid state mic pres — including their input impedance, gain stage “sweet spots,” and the component-level circuit behaviors of the original hardware. Heritage edition takes it a step further with a software suite of 5 award-winning UAD plug-in titles, featuring Collections from Teletronix,® Pultec,® and UA. Recording vocals through the Unison-enabled preamps with their analog emulations gives a warmth and depth that I used to think was only achievable with high-end outboard gear. The new plugins include: UA's Teletronix and 1176 compressors, all Pultec EQs, UA 610 Unison mic preamps, and Pure Plate Reverb. There’s also an optical connection, designed to allow you to expand further into the UA ecosystem should the need for more inputs arise.By emulating the entire signal path, including tube amplifiers, transformers, and circuit nonlinearities, the 610-B Tube Preamp and EQ plug-in injects organic detail and saturation to any signal — whether you’re re-amping or tracking through the 610-B via Universal Audio’s Unison™ technology.

In this iteration of the Twin X, you benefit from duo-core DSP acceleration, enabling you to seamlessly utilise DSP-powered plugins offered by Apollo. These include Neve, Helios, API, Manley, UA and many more giving you a truly crisp sound which provides you with an array of sound profiles. As someone who juggles between recording sessions and mixing, the Apollo x Twin has consistently delivered studio-quality sound. And it goes a step further, with a software suite of 5 award-winning UAD plug-in titles, featuring Collections from Teletronix, ® Pultec, ® and UA.With the Apollo 8 in the studio and an Apollo Twin on the go, I know I've got the best sound quality and an incredible arsenal of plug-ins — wherever I'm working. The console control in the computer can seem daunting at first, but once you get around to it, there's nothing difficult there. Annoyingly during the software install it also installs all of the plugins you don’t have access to, meaning many of the shiny new plugins in your list are actually redundant.
