The Essentials+ Bundle lets you mix and record live performances with 36 UAD plug-ins including Pultec EQ, Auto-Tune, classic LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and more. You can use Plug-In Scenes to recall settings instantly, even in the middle of a performance.

Record Through Two Unison Preamps

With Unison technology, Apollo x6 Gen 2 lets you track in real time with the sound of classic EQs and compressors.

From Neve, API, Manley, Fender, and more, you get the same rich analog textures used on the greatest recordings of our time.

Apollo x6 features UA's highest-resolution A/D and D/A converters, delivering 130 dB of dynamic range, a very low THD of -127 dB, and featuring Dual Crystal Clocking for ultralow jitter at all sample rates.

This enhanced monitoring, when paired with the newest features like Apollo Monitor Correction by Sonarworks, means you'll hear the most accurate representation of your recordings when mixing through monitors or headphones. And there will be no surprises when you listen to your final mix or master on any stereo or surround system.
