With its onboard UAD-2 DUO Core processing, Apollo Twin USB allows you to record in real time at near-zero latency through the full range of UAD plug-ins - from Never, Studier, Manley, Marshall, Lexicon, API, and more - putting racks of vintage EQs, compressors, mic preamps, tape machines, reverbs, and guitar amps at your fingertips. Apollo Twin USB's exclusive Unison technology gives you the tone of the world's most sought-after mic preamps - including impedance, gain stage "sweet spots, " and component-level circuit behaviors.

Apollo Twin USB's feature set includes two class-leading mic/line preamps, two analog line outputs, two digitally-controlled analog monitor outputs for full resolution at all listening levels, and up to eight additional channels of digital input via Optical connection. Its onboard UAD-2 DUO Core processing lets you use UAD plug-ins both during real-time tracking and for mixing within Pro Tools, Cubase, Live, and more. With its ergonomic design, rugged aluminum construction, and front panel headphone and instrument connections, Apollo Twin USB has all the right tools, all in the right place. Review: great sound and features! - Make sure you scour the ua support site regarding usb 3 chipsets first. There are some that don't work well with this unit. After updating my renesas driver I was fine. It does not come with a driver disk, you will have to download the drivers, software and plugins to the computer you are installing the United on. After it is setup, everything sounds fantastic and works well with samplitude proX. I am running my profire 2626 out digitally via optical cable to expand inputs and it works well. A bit of a pain on initial setup, but there are plenty of forums and ua for support. I'm very happy with it!

USB 3, which this is using, is not up to par with Thunderbolt. However, I'll tell yoi right now that because you can use the effects on monitor channel as well (as DSP), it really doesn't matter and shouldn't discourage you. I've had mine for a month and love it. **Q: Buenas estΓ‘ interfaz se puede conectar con con cable thunderbolt a Windows** A: si tu pc o lato tiene esa entrada pos siiiii aunque la que yo compre es de entrada usb **Q: I have a samsung pro9 pcwith only tb3 ports so i have a hub with usb ports for midi keyboards,etc. will apollo twinusb work with my hub on my laptop?** A: Yes, It’s a USB port so it should work **Q: Could this be ran threw windows and Mac computers** A: the box said it was set up for windows. i returned it and got the newer version with thunderbolt instead of usb and to be sure it worked with mac, too. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great sound and features! *by K***N on August 17, 2016* Make sure you scour the ua support site regarding usb 3 chipsets first.
