Designed for professional networked recording studios and live sound venues, the Universal Audio Apollo x16D Thunderbolt 3 audio interface combines next-gen audio conversion with powerful DSP, networked audio, and immersive audio support. Upgraded converters deliver pristine audio, while HEXA Core DSP allows you to record and monitor through UAD plug‑ins from top brands like SSL, Neve, and Lexicon in real time. Dual Ethernet ports provide up to 16 channels of Dante I/O with redundancy, and you can link up to four units to create a multi‑room Apollo recording studio or live setup. The Essentials+ edition includes a premium suite of UAD plug-ins and is fully compatible with UA's optional accessories like the e1x Unison preamp and e2m Headphone amplifier for customizing your system.
The Apollo x16D brings the same elite-class conversion and low-jitter clocking used in high-end studios to live and broadcast environments. The interface’s upgraded DA conversion runs at 24-bit/192 kHz and delivers a 133 dB dynamic range with –129 dB THD+N, preserving transient detail and tonal clarity for FOH, monitor mixes, and broadcast feeds. Use the Apollo x16D to record live performances from front of house, route multitrack feeds over Dante, or mix and monitor in stereo and immersive formats. From studio to stage, in live sound venues or networked studios, the Universal Audio Apollo x16D is a rock-solid interface.
UAD Console allows you to save and recall settings instantly, reducing setup time and speeding up the transition between studio and live workflows. Create monitor mixes, talkback configurations, and plug-in chains for different situations, and load the configuration you need at a moment's notice. Seamless integration with Universal Audio's LUNA DAW makes it easy to use UAD plug-ins in your sessions, set up immersive monitoring layouts for Dolby Atmos mixing, and more.
Built-in HEXA Core DSP lets you track and mix through authentic emulations of legendary analog gear without overloading your CPU. The latest HEXA Core chips deliver 50% more processing power than the previous generation, allowing you to stack more plug-ins than ever with less than two milliseconds of latency. Just load your favorite UAD plug-ins in UAD Console or in your DAW for authentic vintage tone without your computer breaking a sweat.
The Apollo x16D makes it easy to expand your studio with 16 channels of bidirectional Dante I/O. Add high-channel-count I/O, route audio between rooms, or link multiple Apollo x16D units together for a 64-channel system with redundancy. Dante’s low-latency and scalable routing make it simple to grow from a single interface to a multi-room facility. Use standard Dante management tools alongside UAD Console to map channels, set clocking, and maintain reliable networked audio transport for live and studio applications.
Built for today's immersive audio workflows, the Apollo x16D supports formats like Dolby Atmos, Auro 3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio right out of the box. Control immersive monitoring, speaker calibration, and multichannel metering via UAD Console, all without leaving the mix position. With 16 monitor channels, the Apollo x16D supports immersive monitor systems up to 9.1.6, making it ideal for professional immersive studios, film scoring, and game audio.
Featuring elite-class audio conversion, the Apollo x16D raises the bar for clarity and transparency. Upgraded converters with Dual Crystal clocking deliver a pristine signal path that rivals many high-end standalone converters, giving you cleaner tracks, more accurate monitoring, and better headroom when interfacing with analog outboard gear.
The optional Apollo e1x Remote Controllable Unison Preamp for Dante lets you add remote-controllable Unison mic/line preamps to your Apollo x16D interface, putting legendary preamp sounds from API, Neve, Manley, SSL, and more on stage, at front-of-house, or in your multi-room studio using Dante networked audio. Another handy add-on for your Dante ecosystem is the Apollo e2m Stereo Headphone Amplifier and Line Interface, which delivers dedicated headphone amplification and additional line-level I/O. Put an e2m on your desktop, in your live room, or at the FOH console to provide high-quality, low-noise headphone mixes and route line signals wherever they need to go.
