Universal Audio Re-Releases Apollo X Series Interfaces

When Universal Audio announced the Apollo Heritage Edition audio interfaces back in 2020, people were thrilled to be able to bundle the popular audio interfaces with packages of five or 10 of UAD’s best-selling plug-ins. However, some folks have been asking for a return of the original interfaces, without the additional plug-in bundles.

UA has answered the call and today announced the return of the beloved (non-Heritage Edition) Apollo X audio interfaces! You can now pick up the classic Universal Audio Apollo X6, X8 and X8p rackmount audio interfaces again—and at a lower price than their Heritage Edition counterparts!

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APOLLO X SERIES INTERFACES AND HERITAGE EDITION INTERFACES?

You may be wondering, what’s the difference between the original Apollo X Series interfaces and the Heritage Edition interfaces? The hardware itself is exactly the same as the Heritage Edition models, but the original (non-Heritage Edition) Apollo X6, X8 and X8p interfaces do not include the additional bundle of plug-ins. 

Don’t worry, if this is your first UA interface, the Apollo X6, X8 and X8p still include UA’s “Realtime Analog Classics Plus” package of plug-ins, which is listed below. Plus, you can always purchase additional licenses to add to your account. And if you’re already an Apollo user, the non-Heritage Edition Apollo X series interfaces are a great way to save some money when growing your studio

Whether you’re launching into your first sonic journey with an Apollo interface or picking up a second (or third!) interface to complete your studio set-up, the Apollo X Series offers everything you need to produce studio-quality projects with ease.
