 APX16DG2-ESS  UNIVERSAL AUDIO 

 Rackmount USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 Dante Network Interface 

Perfect for live sound venues or networked recording studios, Apollo x16D gives you elite-class Apollo X sound and realtime UAD plug-in processing over Thunderbolt and Dante. With Apollo x16D, you can mix and record live performances with over 200 UAD plug-ins from Neve, SSL, and Auto-Tune, plus classic LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and more. Universal Audio built Apollo x16D for both live sound engineers and networked recording studios. With its 16 channels of Dante I/O, elite-class audio conversion, and HEXA core DSP processing — the world’s most powerful system for running UAD plug-ins in realtime.

Apollo x16D seamlessly connects to your digital mixing console, putting over 200 UAD plug-ins right at your fingertips. With its powerful digital mixing engine giving you control over inputs, outputs, and plug-in routing. Apollo x16D makes it easy to quickly build your mix and control entire effects chains in realtime. Then quickly recall your plug-in settings over MIDI, all without interrupting the performance. Apollo x16D comes in two editions, both delivering a generous suite of UAD plug-ins right out of the box.

Build your mix with classic Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, and Neve channel strips to modern favorites from Auto-Tune, Avalon, and more. Link up to four x16Ds to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy. Or expand your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio over Dante, the most low-latency and scalable audio network available.

This means that if you’ve been considering making the switch to a networked recording studio, or you simply want to grow to a multi-room setup, you don’t have to start from scratch. After the show, bring Apollo x16D back to the studio, where it becomes your all-in-one monitoring hub for mixing formats up to 9.1.6. This allows you to easily create 16-channel immersive audio mixes of live sets or studio recordings for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.
