Universal Audio Apollo 16 + Free Thunderbolt Option Card 16 In / 16 Out FireWire 800 & Thunderbolt Audio Interface
Frequently bought together
Key Info
The Apollo 16 Audio Interface with Realtime UAD Processing from Universal Audio features 16 analog inputs and outputs via four rear-panel DB-25 connections. It records at digital audio resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz. Additionally, the Apollo 16 provides a stereo pair of dedicated balanced XLR monitor outputs— preserving all 16 output channels for functional use. This FireWire 800 interface is compatible with both Mac and Windows and adds the benefit of onboard UAD-2 QUAD processing to your computer system, allowing you to track realtime audio through UAD plug-ins without overloading your CPU.
The Apollo 16's advanced circuitry creates high dynamic range recordings with very low distortion rates. The DB-25 inputs and DC-coupled outputs can be easily paired with mixing consoles, outboard processors, headphone systems, and more. High-visibility LEDs provide input and output metering with no "hot spots" or light bleed. Additionally, the Apollo 16's routing capabilities allow four stereo Cue mixes with individually assignable outputs as well as a new "Virtual I/O" feature that enables realtime UAD Processing of DAW tracks and virtual instruments. Apollo 16 also supports standalone operation, letting you use the audio connections and last-used DSP mixer settings, even without a computer connected.
A dual-port Thunderbolt 2 I/O Option Card is included, allowing for many times the bandwidth of FireWire and increasing the devices you can use in series with the Apollo 16, such as hard drives, processors, or additional computer monitors.
