Universal Audio New Apollo Twin X USB Audio Interface Expands Realtime UAD Processing on Windows Computers

Universal Audio released its new Apollo Twin X USB desktop audio interface. Normally the company works with hardware and software designed to work with Macs and macOS. This one looks similar to existing Apollo units, and features the same A/D and D/A conversion inherited directly from the Apollo X rackmount with 24-bit/192kHz audio I/O. In this case, adding USB 3 connectivity (USB-C connector) for Windows, instead of Thunderbolt.

Arriving in stores October 2015, Universal Audio’s new Apollo Twin USB audio interface takes the same class-leading sound quality and flexibility of the original Thunderbolt Realtime UAD Processing and Unison technology to Windows users over USB 3. While everyone waits for Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.1 to reach the market, this will have to do.

During the 2015 Prolight+Sound show in Frankfurt, Universal Audio surprised the recording studio community with the introduction of an all-new line of Apollo audio interfaces for Mac Thunderbolt users. The new generation leverages dual Thunderbolt 2 connections and features next-generation A/D and D/A conversion, effectively upgrading the successful interface lineup.
