Universal Audio Apollo X8P Heritage Edition HEXA + Thunderbolt Cable Overview
The Apollo X8P Thunderbolt 3 is a 16x22 audio interface that lets engineers and producers track, overdub and mix with Unison preamps, new A/D D/A conversion, and Hexa Core processing.
The X8P has eight Unison-enabled preamps, giving a huge dynamic range headroom and natural, crisp voicing. There’s lots of versatility with switchable +24 and +20 dBu headroom settings which let you connect with various pro-level studio equipment.
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.
Combine the X8P with up to four more Thunderbolt-equipped Apollos to expand your setup. This interface is also capable of backwards compatibility with Thunderbolt 1 and 2.
Thunderbolt connectivity and real-time processing mean there will be almost zero latency. Apollo X series audio interfaces work with all major DAWs.
The Apollo X Range includes the X4, which has a DUO Core processor, and X6, X8, X8P and X16, which are rack-mountable, and have HEXA Core processors.
There’s plenty of versatility too with switchable +24 and +20 dBu headroom settings. This allows you to connect with varying pro-level studio gear when needed. You can also work in 7.1 surround sound using speaker calibration, to get the most authentic listening experience. Integrated talkback allows for easy communication.
Upgrade to the Apollo X8 for more I/O.
