Description
The Apollo x8p Heritage Edition has all the benefits of the acclaimed Apollo x8p, including world-beating A/D and D/A conversion, HEXA Core UAD plug-in processing, Unison-enabled mic preamps, and full LUNA Recording System integration. And it goes a step further, with a software suite of 10 award-winning UAD plug-in titles, featuring Collections from Helios,®Fairchild,®Teletronix,®Pultec,® and UA
Apollo x8p Heritage Edition features HEXA Core processing, with six DSP chips and 50% more UAD plug-in processing power than previous Apollos. This lets you run more UAD plug-ins, whether you’re tracking in real time with channel strips from Neve, Manley, SSL, Avalon, Helios, or API, or running high UAD plug-in counts when mixing in your DAW
Apollo x8p Heritage Edition offers 16 x 22 simultaneous inputs/outputs (8 x 14 analog I/O) and two built-in Thunderbolt 3ports, which are backwards-compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 Macs via adapter (sold separately). This allows users of any Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo desktop or rackmount audio interfaces to easily combine up to four Apollos and six total UAD-2 devices.

Universal Audio Apollo X8 Gen 2

Bahnbrechendes Audio Recording Equipment seit mehr als 50 Jahren.
Universal Audio ist seit seiner Gründung im Jahr 1958 durch Bill Putnam sen. das Synonym für innovative Recording-Produkte. Als Lieblingstoningenieur von Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles und vielen anderen, war der verstorbene Bill Putnam sen. ein leidenschaftlicher Erfinder, der gemeinhin als Vater des modernen Recordings gilt — und viele seiner legendären Studio- und Gerätedesigns sind auch heute noch täglich im Einsatz.
Besonders erwähnenswerte Erfindungen von Putnam sind das moderne Mischpult, der Multiband-Audioequalizer und die Gesangskabine. Zudem setze er als erster Toningenieur künstlichen Nachhall in kommerziellen Produktionen ein. Zusammen mit seinem Freund Les Paul war Putnam auch in der frühen Entwicklung stereophoner Aufnahmen beteiligt.
Putnam gründete als geborener Unternehmer in seiner langen Karriere drei Firmen für Audioprodukte: Universal Audio, Studio Electronics und UREI. Alle drei Firmen fertigten Equipment, das auch Jahrzehnte nach ihrer Vorstellung weiterhin zum Einsatz kommt, darunter die allgegenwärtigen LA-2A und 1176er Kompressoren und das 610 Röhrenmischpult. Die 610er Mischkonsole steht besonders für eine der meist geliebten Entwicklungen der Audiogeschichte. Alle Größen nahmen darüber auf - von Sinatra über die Beach Boys bis hin zur Produktion von Van Halen´s gleichnamigen Debutalbum.
