Universal Audio Apollo X6 Heritage Edition HEXA + Thunderbolt Cable Overview
The Apollo X6 Thunderbolt 3 is a great audio interface for electronic musicians and producers working on audio and music for TV, video games, and the web.
The interface has two Unison-enabled mic preamps, which deliver genuine tones of preamps from Neve, API, Manley, Helios, SSL, and more. Some of the lowest signal-to-noise ratio of any interface has been created with the newly-designed analogue circuitry giving you audio quality between 129 dB dynamic range and -188dB. Work in 5.1 surround sound using speaker calibration, and built-in talkback lets you communicate easily.
The Apollo X series also has new Dual-Crystal clocking, with dedicated crystal oscillators for 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz and 48/96/192 kHz sample rates —resulting in extremely low jitter, measured at less than 10 picoseconds at all sample rates. For you, this means pure, artefact-free recordings and solid stereo imaging.
If you need more inputs and outputs, you can combine the Apollo X6 Thunderbolt 3 with up to four more Thunderbolt-equipped Apollos, and the X6 allows for backward compatibility with Thunderbolt 1 and 2. Compatible with all major DAWs such as Pro Tools, Logic, Cubase, and Ableton.
Thunderbolt connectivity and real-time processing mean there will be almost zero latency. Apollo X series audio interfaces work with all major DAWs.
The StarTech TBLT3MM1M cable lets you connect to any Thunderbolt 3 port (USB-C) to deliver video and data to your Thunderbolt, USB, and DisplayPort devices. Plus, the cable can provide power for charging your devices, and you can link up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices as part of a daisy-chained connection.
