UA 610-B Tube Preamp and EQ
Impart your tracks with the iconic warmth and character of the classic hardware used to track everyone from Duke Ellington to Coldplay. 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.
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.
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.

Apollo Twin has given me a new working experience. I love the clarity in the sound and hope to even explore more. The only feedback I can give for now is the heating up of the Apollo Twin I have. Does this happen to all Apollo Twins.

Was für ein Stück feine Hardware
Ich habe schon einiges an Audio Interfaces besessen, aber das Apollo Interface spielt in einer anderen Liga. Ich bin seitdem ebenfalls auf die "Luna" DAW gewechselt und habe einige Aufnahmen gemacht. Ja, es ist ein bisschen mehr Einarbeitung nötig, aber die lohnt sich wirklich. Die nahtlos eingebundenen UA Plugins begeistern ebenfalls. Ich kann das Interface ohne zu zögern empfehlen.

Honesty… Quality…. Transparency
I recently had what I thought was some issues with my Apollo twin. I received a ticket to send it in for repairing. As soon as I left the post office and returned home, I realized my error. I had plugged in the wrong adapter. I rushed back to the post office in attempt to stop the delivery. Well when I returned I was told I could not retrieve my package until the morning because a manger had to sign off. Well I returned the following morning only to find out they already sent it out. I was so frustrated. So I thought do I call UA or just let it play out. So I did just that. To my surprise I received an email essentially telling me after testing it was concluded nothing was wrong with my Apollo. I expected to pay the 200 dollars… I was charged 122. I say all this to say, I am so happy UA did not take advantage of me and I am really happy they are an upfront and an honest company. This means a lot to me and I really appreciate the UA Team…

Works great in the studio as additional inputs and remote, plus portable!
In the three weeks I've had this, it installed effortlessly into my system in my studio, and also effortlessly connected with my laptop as a portable unit. The quality is the same as my Apollo 8 Quad--works exactly the same. The sound is exactly the same, so what I hear in my headphones on the road is what I hear on my headphones in the studio. UA make excellent high quality gear, that is made for someone who works like I do.
O. Scholey
Exceeded my expectations
I was expecting a great piece of gear. After using my Apollo Twin for a few days, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional capabilities . The sound quality is excellent and the Unison functionality is incredible, producing next to real results.

Could be better
I love UAD Products and have owned them since the UAD-1 Card... The first twin had a Powersupply problem that seemed to crop up all the time... the powersupply would die or the connector was not robust enough for consistent use. Also these Twin units run hot. They just seem too hot for a piece of gear like this. Anyway, I own the plugins and I needed this unit to replace a Twin that died a second death after repair. Its my away device when I need something small to take on gigs when I can't pack my Apollo x8. Probably age of the gear, but i really wish they didnt break as often as they do.
m. baillot
broken down after six year
This sound card is very good but after six years of good operation it stopped on its own for no reason. I changed the power supply but nothing happened. For me, sorry but unreliable productN. Ninkovic
Been Around The Block
It is obvious by the curated choice of features and functionality that has been implemented by UAD into the portable form-factor of the Apollo Twin MkII, that they were designing an interface capable of satisfying the fundamental requirements that experienced engineers seek in an interface (and then some!).
In summary, the Apollo Twin MkII is a classic -- a marvel of engineering and design -- and a piece of HW that the engineering community won't forget.R. Olmos
Excelente
Me encanta esta interfaz, la calidad de mis grabaciones mejoraron un 100%, sonido super limpio, super potente y todo es facilita la mezcla, ahora mi tiempo para mezclar se ha reducido mucho debido a que puedo grabar con efectos en tiempo real y tengo que pocos ajustes en la mezcla. Excelente.

recording an album with the Apollo Twin / Luna software mixer and the UA plug ins
Over a few years I have had a singularly pleasant , at times exciting experience recording my new album with a "vintage" Apollo twin interface, UAD, and the free Luna mixer. Previously used a VS 2400 or a dat, or long ago the 880 so this was a Huge step up in many ways sonically. By not going thru patch bays, mixers etc the sound gains in dimension and accuracy. The preamps and converters are first rate so when I would do stereo acoustic guitar or percussion, with the right mic, it really shined with basically no latency issues. With the included Pultec type eq I learned how to remove low frequency artifacts. Flamenco guitar with stereo mics, external preamp eq, worked better than any studio I have used as long as the room is acoustically fine - it is that level of professional sound. What was also a pleasure is sometimes before a session I would load up a few new plug ins on trial and that would often make exciting audio surprises and really helped me color the music subtly and I found the tube emulations compression, and EQ plugs in very sweet and I actually learned a lot using them but not over using. Electric guitar direct and bass was really nice actually and surprised me -how could be shaped taking advantage of Manley and Neve eq and even the Ocean Way virtual sound subtly enhancing. To me the Apollo is the most important exciting studio invention years for the home recording musician/composer because of the preamps, the extensive plug in you can try, and the quality of the converters and Luna mixer.

I recently just purchased a brand new Apollo mk2 twin. It worked the first couple of days and now none of the buttons work except the volume knob. I can use the console only from my Mac mini and tech support won’t even respond
