Universal Audio Apollo Twin USB

Apollo Twin — for Windows!

If you’re a Windows user, Universal Audio has an Apollo Twin just for you. The Apollo Twin USB is a 10 x 6 USB 3 audio interface for Windows 7 and 8 that delivers impeccable 24/192kHz Apollo conversion, juiced by real-time UAD processing and Unison mic preamp emulation. Onboard UAD-2 DUO Core processing lets you record your music in real time, with near-zero latency, through UAD plug-ins from Neve, Studer, Manley, Marshall, Lexicon, API, and more. Think about the classic analog sound you can achieve with racks of vintage mic pres, equalizers, dynamics, reverbs, and even tape machines and guitar amps! The Apollo Twin USB comes with the Realtime Analog Classics UAD plug-in bundle.

The sound of the world’s most coveted preamps

The Apollo Twin USB features Universal Audio’s breakthrough Unison technology, which delivers the sound of the world’s most coveted mic preamps complete with impedance, gain-staging characteristics, and component-level circuit behaviors. Based on extraordinary hardware-software integration between Apollo’s mic preamps and its onboard UAD plug-in processing, Unison lets you record through brilliant analog emulations — including the bundled Realtime Analog Classics UAD plug-in collection — essential solutions for many Sweetwater engineers.

Killer bundled analog hardware emulations

UAD Powered Plug-ins have earned their reputation for being some of the most accurate emulations of analog audio equipment ever created. The astonishing processing power of the UAD platform is what makes these plug-ins sound so great. You simply can’t get the depth, color, and character these plug-ins have without devoting huge CPU resources to them. Best of all, Apollo Twin MkII lets you record your audio through UAD plug-ins in real time with sub-2ms latency. When you buy an Apollo Twin DUO interface, you’ll receive the Realtime Analog Classics bundle, which includes:
