Presentation
The Apollo X6 is the result of the new Universal Audio product range, the previous generations of which have become standards in the professional world.
The conversion has been reviewed and further improved to compete with the best standalone converters on the market, in all price categories: new converters (24 bit/192 kHz) combined with a highly transparent analog circuit, with a huge dynamic range (129 dB) and a further lowered self noise (128 dB).
The Apollo X6 is equipped with first-class A/D and D/A converters, with an incredible dynamic range, and a phenomenal signal-to-noise ratio, almost unique in all price categories for equivalent products.
Surround management (various presets depending on configuration, monitor calibration, solo/mute, etc.) is available on the Apollo X6 from the UAD Software v9.7.1 minimum.
The connection-integration to your studio devices is optimized with a maximum level choice (headroom +24 / +20 dBu).
Connectivity is Thunderbolt 3 on all Apollo X, ultra fast, Mac and PC compatible, and Thunderbolt 2 backward compatible (with adapter not included). This allows up to 4 Apollo interfaces to be linked together to create a system with more inputs/outputs and more DSP power.
The Apollo X6 comes with the free UAD plug-in suite "Realtime Analog Classic Plus" (Unison UA610-B preamp, Unison guitar/bass Marshall and Ampeg amps, Telextronix, Fairchild and UA compressor, Pultec equalization, delay, reverb, etc)

Unison format plugins can only be managed by the DSPs integrated in the audio interface, they cannot be managed by any other external DSPs (UAD2 Satellites or PCI).
Unison format plugins can also only work with the audio interface preamps, not with any external preamps that may be connected to the Apollo rack (analog or digital).
Compatible with Mac Pro 2013 from the UAD-Mac-v961b driver version.
