Universal Audio Apollo Twin QUAD MKII Thunderbolt Audio Interface

Reviewed by Federico E. on Reverb

I was an user of a Focusrite Clarett 2Pre Thunderbolt, the flagship interface of Focusrite, although It was a big step forward from my Komplete Audio 6, I was not completely satisfied, Now with this Apollo Twin MkII QUAD I feel that I made the same jump in quality I mainly play guitar in a home Studio, directly connected to the input of the interface ( to use with Plugins like Bias Fx and Helix Native ) with the Clarett I feld that I was always in between two situations, with a very low level or with a saturated signal. I don't have that problem with the Apollo, It has a huge dinamic range in the Hi-Z Input (designed to connect a guitar) that doesn't get saturated even playing hard Furthermore the same plugins (BiasFx, Helix Native) now sound more real, the sound is pristine clear, you can hear now all the subtle nuances and details that previously missed and It has a huge dinamic range Evenmore, the sound of the UAD Marshall JCM800 and Fender Tweed 57 are the same or even better than my Fractal AXE FXII sounds I couldn't be happier, I guess you will so ...

Once you board the UAD train, you can't get off.

This interface changed the way I record and mix, hands-down. PROS: - Excellent conversion - UAD plugin market is second to none - Great pair of preamps (with "Unison" flexibility to model other classic pres) - Console software is an adjustment, but tracking through/printing plugins is a huge time saver One note - YOU WILL RUN OUT OF DSP QUICKLY. I max out my mixing sessions roughly 75% of the time with a Quad processor (can be avoided by printing tracks w/ effects). Don't skimp by buying the Solo or Duo cores. The comfort is worth the extra cash.

Love this interface!

Loving this interface and wish I had gotten one long time ago. This thing allows you to record through classic pre-amps and compressors and they sound amazing. The Neve 1073 paired with the LA-2A has become my new go-to vocal chain. It comes with free plug ins and UAD has a ton of other paid plug ins that you can demo. And it powers the plugins from the interface, taking the load off of your computer. My only con is that I wish it had 2 headphone outs instead of just one. But I’m loving this thing! Highly recommend it!

It's great!

If you travel around a lot but want a nice sounding Thunderbolt interface with two separate outputs so you can still do some A/B mixing comparisons, this will be it. Bonus: the onboard DSP eliminates any of the latency you normally get when playing through some cool plugin. The result: plugging my bass into the thing running the Neve preamp and UAD LA-2A plugins sounded and more importantly *felt* almost exactly like the experience I've gotten in any other major studio that I've recorded in. Extra Bonus: That big knob, which I previously thought was more gimmicky when I saw them come out on things like the Apogee, etc., is actually 1) cool and 2) useful. ... More

Had the original Apollo then went to lynx hilo with external pre amps ,now back with the new apollo and it sounds so much better than original. Like most will tell you the low end is smooth and the highs not as harsh ,may have to do with my mixing skills also .Still no lynx hilo but you cant beat realtime plugins such as neve 1073 and the 610 b .If u want to make records at home this is the way to go for bedroom recording.

Sounds great! It's a significant upgrade from my last interface, so things are sounding much different. Unfortunately I think my past mixes all suck now because of this! :) Plugins are pretty expensive... Much less than buying the "real gear" but I'm still going to have to wait for some sales...

There’s a reason this is one of the industry standards. Everything sounds miles better than my old Focusrite Sapphire Pro40. It wasn’t a bad unit, but it sounds like a blanket has been lifted off of my recordings. The Apollo is totally worth the money.

Well worth the investment..plenty of DSP, easily expandable, and very flexible. My only wish is that this could be bus powered (like the solo/arrow units can), but I suppose the extra capabilities justify the power needs.
