もちろん、オーディオインターフェイスの中心はコンバーターの品質といえます。UAのエンジニアは、次世代のApolloを設計する際に最新のA/DとD/Aコンバーターを徹底的に試聴し、最終的に24ビット/192kHzコンバーターをすべて新しくしたアナログ回路を組み合わせて最適なシグナルパスを実現しまし。Apollo 8pは、ダイナミックレンジを拡大し、他のインターフェイスと比べ、THDを低く抑え、より多くのコストを必要とするコンバーターに匹敵するクオリティを実現しています。
The Apollo Story
Watch UA’s Lev Perrey explain the innovative thinking behind the next-generation Apollos.
Apollo： プロフェッショナルの新しい選択肢
Apolloは、Kendrick Lamar（To Pimp A Butterfly）、Coldplay（A Head Full of Dreams）、Dr. Dre（Compton）、Brad Paisley（Wheelhouse）など多くのレコードを制作するために使用され、ヒットメイカー達の確かな選択肢となっています。Apolloシリーズのインターフェイスは、Sound on Sound、Future Music、Electronic Musician誌などから数々の賞を受賞しています。またコンピューターオーディオ・ハードウエアの2016 TEC Awardも受賞しています。
“Apollo's A/D and D/A conversion sounds incredibly detailed, with great clarity and a tight, punchy low end. And with the Console 2.0 app, I have all of the routing and monitoring options I need.”
– Dave Pensado (Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Maroon 5)
“I'm really impressed with the Apollo X8. I hear more detail in the several sets of monitors I use, and I'm getting that little bit extra out of the Unison mic pre emulations – and they were already extremely close.”
– Jacquire King (James Bay, Kings of Leon, Tom Waits)
“Apollo is a platform that grows more powerful with every innovation – the UAD plug-in processing onboard has changed the way I work forever.”
– Tony Platt (AC/DC, Bob Marley, Buddy Guy)
“The Apollo is the best I/O we've ever used, and we've tried them all. It has an incredibly clean, transparent, and accurate sound.”
– The Glitch Mob
“Having the Apollo with UAD plug-ins at my disposal is like carrying a giant studio with outboard racks at all times. Minus the tech fees, down time, and electricity bill!”
– Andrew Dawson (Jay-Z, Fun.)
“My Apollos are my sound.
Where I go, they go.”
– Trevor Lawrence Jr. (Dr. Dre, Herbie Hancock, Eminem)
“The Apollo's ability to do low latency – I mean that's the whole ballgame right there.”
– Joey Waronker (Atoms for Peace, Beck, Other Lives)
“With the Apollo 8 in the studio and an Apollo Twin on the go, I know I've got the best sound quality and an incredible arsenal of plug-ins — wherever I'm working.”
– Jeremy Ruzumna (Fitz And The Tantrums)
“UAD plug-ins are amazing...
I’ve used them on all my projects
for the last few years.”
– Dan Auerbach The Black Keys
“Overall, Apollo 8 sounds smooth and sweet, revealing subtle details with superior phase response and lower distortion than the original Apollo... UA has certainly improved on an already excellent device.”
– Mick Guzauski (Daft Punk, Mariah Carey, Eric Clapton)
“I knew about the ingredients of Apollo, but this is truly a special dish. The Apollo just set a new standard of excellence for audio interfaces, in terms of both its sound and its feature set.”
– Fab Dupont (Shakira, Santigold, Jennifer Lopez)
“Using my Apollos and Console 2.0, I'm able to front a live mix, create a monitor mix, and record, all at the same time. That’s pretty awesome.”
– Chris Dugan (Green Day, Iggy Pop, U2)
Creating a Multi-Unit Apollo Setup
Watch producer/engineer Fab Dupont (Jennifer Lopez, Mark Ronson) install a powerful studio system by combining multiple Apollo interfaces over Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt上でネットワークスタジオ・システムを構築
Apollo 8pには、16 x 20の同時入出力があり、2基のThunderboltポートが搭載されています。Apollo Expandedソフトウェアによって、Thunderboltを搭載したApollo Twin、Apollo 8、Apollo 8p、Apollo 16オーディオインターフェイスのユーザーは、最大で4台のApollo、合計で6台のUAD-2デバイス*を組み合わせてI/OやDSPを追加し、スタジオをグレードアップさせることができます。Apollo 8pは、前世代のApolloともThunderbolt上でシームレスな統合が可能です。
滑らかなローレイテンシー・アプリケーション
Apollo 8pの（オリジナルApolloのConsoleソフトウェアを再構築した）Console 2.0アプリケーションを使用することで、チャンネルストリップ・プリセット、ドラッグ＆ドロップ機能、ダイナミックにサイズ変更可能なウィンドウなど、25箇所以上のユーザー・リクエストに応えた新機能を追加しています。
ビンテージ・アンプとストンプボックスを現代に
Apollo 8pはフロントパネルのインストゥルメント入力にUnisonテクノロジーを採用し、Fender '55 Tweed Deluxe、Marshall Plexi Super Lead 1959、Ampeg B-15N Bass Amplifierのようなギター、ベース・アンプやIbanez Tube Screamerのようなストンプボックスの完璧で、インピーダンスまでをもマッチしたエミュレーションを提供します。
†Apolloには、“Realtime Analog Classics Plus” UADプラグイン・バンドルが付属しています。その他のUADプラグインは、別売です。

By emulating the entire signal path, including tube amplifiers, transformers, and circuit nonlinearities, the 610-B Tube Preamp and EQ plug-in injects organic detail and saturation to any signal — whether you’re re-amping or tracking through the 610-B via Universal Audio’s Unison™ technology.
Marshall® Plexi Classic Amplifier
The undisputed alpha dog of rock and roll guitar amps, the Marshall “plexi” amplifier is as legendary as the music it helped create. From Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page, Duane Allman to Eric Clapton, the Plexi’s punishing melange of snarl, sustain, smoothness, and raunch defined the sound of rock. Developed by Softube, the Marshall Plexi Classic Amp plug-in gives you the sound of this iconic amp with a perfectly placed microphone from engineer Tony Platt who recorded AC/DC’s Back in Black and Highway to Hell.
Fairchild® 670 (Legacy)
The world’s most coveted compressor, the classic Fairchild 670 tube limiter will give your tracks and mixes unmistakable tube warmth and character. Whether you’re looking for subtle compression on a lead vocal, or grittier textures that can work on guitars, bass, or a drum bus, the Fairchild 670 plug-in adds a classic “glow” to anything you run through it.
Teletronix® LA-2A Classic Leveling Amplifier (Legacy)
With its gentle, program dependent optical compression and meticulously designed tube amplifier, the LA-2A is the go-to compressor for professional mixers around the world — especially for vocals. Incredibly easy-to-use Peak Reduction and Gain controls gives you the ideal optical compression sound for guitar, bass, drums, and more.
1176SE/LN® Classic Limiting Amplifiers (Legacy)
Get classic, ultra-fast FET compression from the world’s most recognized compressor. The 1176 will impart punch, presence, and character as well as its signature distortion overtones on drums, vocals, guitars, and bass. The 1176LN has graced countless recordings, from Led Zeppelin, to the White Stripes and Michael Jackson.
Pultec® Pro Equalizers (Legacy)
Mix with two of the most sought-after hardware EQs ever made — the MEQ-5 Midrange Equalizer and the EQP-1A Program Equalizer. Both of these tube-based icons deliver smooth and silky EQ curves with an abundance of warm analog character.
Ampeg® SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp
Introduced in 1969, the Ampeg SVT bass amp is still the reigning king of high-powered tube bass tone. Developed by Brainworx, the Ampeg SVT-VR Classic Bass Amp plug-in perfectly captures the raw power and punch that has made this the go-to amp for rock, funk, and soul players. Track in real time using Unison™ preamp technology for the tone, touch, and feel of a real SVT bass amp, or transform bland DI tracks with the thunderous roar of a stone cold classic.
Precision Mix Rack Collection
Featuring the Precision Channel Strip, Precision Reflection Engine, and Precision Delay Modulation plug-ins, the Precision Mix Rack Collection offers four modern, high-fidelity plug-ins for recording and mixing. Powerful and intuitive, Precision Mix Rack Collection gives you an impressive tool set — perfect for beginners and seasoned professionals alike.
UA Precision Enhancer Hz
Expertly dial-in your music’s low-end frequencies with the Precision Enhancer Hz plug-in. Able to yield exacting results with minimal adjustment, the Precision Enhancer Hz can add weight to kick drum samples, fatten up a synth bass, or simply make the low-end of your tracks more audible on smaller speakers.
Raw Distortion
Modeled from a vintage early-’80s Pro Co Rat, Raw Distortion delivers all the gritty dynamic raunch of the legendary stompbox. And with Unison™ technology, you can plug in to Apollo Twin, 8, or 8p’s front-panel Hi-Z instrument jack and experience the same circuit interaction, gain range, and clip points for the true tone, feel, and response of the original hardware.
RealVerb Pro
RealVerb Pro is a flexible, natural sounding reverb based on UA’s own unique set of algorithms. Allowing you to design the room just as you hear it, the RealVerb Pro goes beyond simply big/small or dark/bright, giving your sources distortion-free, smoothing diffusion control and ultra-long reverb tail.

This interface blows all the ones I have used before from Avid to Apogee out in the water ... a great interface and a happy client !

Great sound
Amazing quality pres and conversion. The plugins work brilliantly. The quality of the optical ports need to be improved as they do not match the quality of the rest of the product.

Un outil de travail à la hauteur de sa réputation !!!!! i LoVe It !!!
F. Del Monte
Freaking awesome sounding and easy to use!
It took me awhile to get around to buying this unit. But after careful examination and conversations with UA and trusted professionals that have had great success it was a no brainer. After putting it to work and developing some working templates this thing is really proving itself to be an indispensable tool. It sounds amazing, is really easy to use and adapts to my DAW without much effort. I am sure I am barely scratching the surface! But I am truly looking forward to all the things this thing can do.
C. Carvalho
Performs and sounds awesome
I had a problem with dust and humidity entering in the big top wholes, causing noise on the pre-amps, I blew the dust with compressed air and a brush, and solved it. Other than that it has been working flawless. Just a really solid product

I'm enjoying my Apollo 8P
But it's not new. I love the capability and integration it offers. I purchased this interface used from the estate of a friend who passed away. I loved it right away. Unfortunately, it only worked for a short time. Some of the circuitry failed and it was very expensive to repair. With a new circuit board it now registers as a new interface.
Even though I had an expensive repair, I think this is a great interface and it's really streamlined my home studio work with composing, arranging, and light recording.T. MATSUMOTO

No additional plugins for Apollo 8p
Bought an Apollo 8p new from Long & McQuade. When I registred it, UA gave me the choice to buy the 3 for 399, 6 for 699, etc. bundles, with the opportunity to choose my plugins at a later date. Meanwhile, there are better discounts for everyone on their website. I feel disheartened by this. I did get the Brigade Chorus for signing up to the newsletter (already signed up). Just feel like for the price paid, there should be a better bonus involved.
T. Sennitt
LOVE IT
Dreamt of having the 8p from when I first read about it, and it lives up to expectations. I have a mac mini with pro tools and an extra UAD-2 satellite with my 8p all in a 2U flightcase. So I have 8 pres and 8 cores wherever I go. Unison stuff is also incredible!
