Universal Audio Apollo Twin X QUAD Thunderbolt 3 Interface (B-Stock)

In 2020 Universal Audio introduced the Heritage Edition Series of their acclaimed audio interfaces. These versions include special plug-in bundles featuring 10 premium UAD titles. For those looking for UA's elite-class AD/DA conversion and UAD-2 processing power but without the additional plug-ins (and cost), here is your chance to save! Vintage King has available stock of Universal Audio non-Heritage Edition B-Stock items. Though these versions do not include Heritage Edition bundles, they still include a version of the Realtime Analog Classics bundle, giving you everything you need to get up and running with UAD's renowned plug-ins. Supplies are limited, so order now!

B-Stock, or "open box," items are those that have been indicated as having a minor cosmetic flaw by the manufacturer and as such are being sold at a reduced price. These items often have small cosmetic blemishes in metal work, paint, or fabric that do not affect the functionality of the unit whatsoever. B-Stock items come with all original factory packaging and accessories as well as the full manufacturer’s warranty.

The Universal Audio Apollo Twin X is a state-of-the-art Thunderbolt 3 audio interface with two pristine-sounding Unison-enabled preamps, elite-class A/D and D/A conversion, and QUAD Core real-time UAD signal processing. Bundled with the “Realtime Analog Classics” suite of UAD plug-ins, the Apollo Twin X gives you everything you need to produce, record and mix studio-quality productions.

TWO UNISON PREAMPS

Equipped with two Unison-enabled mic preamps, Apollo Twin X lets you capture the exact sonic characteristics of your favorite analog designs, right down to the tubes and transistors. Choose from a wide range of classic consoles, including emulations from Neve, Helios, API, Manley, UA and more. Best of all, Unison preamps let you record in real time with record at near-zero latency. You can even use the front-panel Hi-Z instrument input to capture super-accurate emulations of guitar and bass amps from Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, and more.

FLEXIBLE I/O

Apollo Twin X uses the same elite-class A/D and D/A conversion as the renowned Apollo X rack-mount interfaces to deliver a striking 127 dB dynamic range. With two mic pres, a front-panel hi-z input, two line outs and a dedicated headphone output, Apollo Twin X is perfect for recording at home or on the go. And with onboard monitor controls and a built-in talkback section, Apollo Twin X has everything you need to take control of your session.

Expand your I/O even further with the built-in optical ADAT/SPDIF input for an impressive 10 x 6 configuration. Daisy-chain up to four Thunderbolt Apollos and six total UAD-2 devices for limitless possibilities. And if you decide to upgrade to an Apollo X rack-mount unit, you can use Apollo Twin X as a desktop monitor control with additional I/O and DSP power.
