Universal Audio Apollo x6 Gen 2 16x22 Thunderbolt Audio Interface

The centerpiece of your next music production.
Produce hits with the most advanced Apollo x6 to date. Featuring highest-resolution audio conversion, two Unison™ mic preamps, and realtime UAD processing — which lets you record through plug-ins from Neve, API, Manley, Auto-Tune, and more without latency — Apollo x6 puts decades of inspiring analog sound right in your rack.

The New Centerpiece of Your Rack
The Apollo x6 was built for producers who need the highest-quality sound, without additional analog preamps found in larger rackmount models. With unprecedented dynamic range, elite-class Apollo X audio conversion, and enhanced D/A monitoring, Apollo x6 puts the sound of the stars right in your rack.

Record Through Iconic Preamps
Use two Unison™ preamps and front panel Hi‑Z instrument inputs to track in realtime with the sound of classic gear from Neve, Manley, API, Fender, Marshall, and dozens more. And with six additional line inputs, it’s easy to connect your hardware synths, keyboards, and outboard gear.

Hear the Details Like Never Before
Now in its Gen 2 design, Apollo x6 features Universal Audio's highest-resolution D/A converters ever. This enhanced monitoring — when paired with features like Apollo Monitor Correction by Sonarworks* — means you’ll hear the most accurate representation of your recordings when mixing through monitors or headphones.

Mix with Vintage & Modern Sounds
Along with included synthesizers and tape echos, Teletronix LA-2A compressors, and Pultec EQs — you can tap into the entire library of over 200 UAD plug-ins to unlock proven hit-making tools that will push your productions to the next level. Apollo x6 comes in two editions - Essentials+ featuring the UAD Essentials+ Plugin Suite, and Studio+ featuring the UAD Studio+ Plugin Suite.

Find Your Perfect Workflow
Just like an analog studio, where a console is the heart of the workflow, Apollo x6 has a powerful digital mixing engine where you control plug-in routing and monitoring. And with the latest features like Auto-Gain, Bass Management, 5.1 Surround Sound, and Plug-In Scenes, it’s easy to find a flow that fits your needs.

A Hybrid System for Your Mission
Combine Apollo x6’s HEXA Core DSP with native processing from your host computer to produce large sessions with complex plug-in chains — a powerhouse hybrid workflow that outpaces any native-only recording setup.
