クラシックなアナログサウンドを持つ
UAのフラッグシップ・オーディオコンバーター
Apollo 16は、Universal AudioによるMac、Windowsで動作可能なApolloオーディオインターフェイス・シリーズのフラッグシップであり、クラシックなアナログ・レコーディングのトーン、フィーリング、リアルタイムのワークフローを使用し、プロフェッショナルな商業用スタジオにUAのA/DとD/Aコンバーターを提供します。
UAの60年に渡り受け継がれたオーディオ・クラフトマンシップの基に築き上げられ、Apollo 16は、16 x 16のアナログI/O、オンボードのUAD-2 QUAD コア・プロセッサー、そして数々の章を受けたUADプラグインのバンドルを特徴としています。MacやPCのホスト・コンピューターに負担をかけることなく、クラシックなアナログ・スタジオのようなサウンドを形成することができます。数多くのヒットレコードで聴けるようなワールドクラスのApollo A/DとD/Aコンバーターでレコーディング可能
Teletronix® LA-2A、1176、Fairchild® コンプレッサー、Pultec® EQ、610-BプリアンプなどのUADプラグインが付属
DB-25接続による16 x 16のアナログI/Oを採用し、ミキシング・コンソールや、アウトボードとのペアリングを容易に
Thunderbolt上で最大で4台のApolloインターフェイス、合計6台のUAD-2デバイスとカスケード接続でき、必要に応じてDSPやI/Oを増設可能
次世代のA/D、D/Aコンバーター
オリジナルのApolloインターフェイスは、現代の音楽プロデューサーや、エンジニアの間で急速にゴールデンスタンダードとなり、文字通り何百ものヒットレコードをリリースしました。Apollo 16は、このスタジオ・スタンダードを改良し再設計されたクラストップのA/DとD/Aコンバーターを搭載し、オリジナルのApolloと比較してA/Dでは2dB、D/Aでは8dB分の優れたダイナミックレンジを提供しています。Apollo 16のサウンドクオリティは、コンバーターを徹底的にオーディションし、チューニングを加え、ダブル・ブラインドテストを行ったことでオープンでナチュラルに仕上がり、より多くのコストを必要とするプロフェッショナル・マスタリンググレードのコンバーターに匹敵するものとなりました。
オンボードのクラシック・アナログ
プロセッシングの完璧なセットApollo 16は、世界で唯一、Teletronix® LA-2A、1176LN、Fairchild® コンプレッサー、そして伝説のPultec® EQやUA 610-Bチューブ・プリアンプを含んだ本格的なアナログエミュレーション・プラグインを提供しています。UAの世界的に有名なアルゴリズムエンジニアチームによって開発されたこれらの“Realtime Analog Classics”プラグインは、他のすべてのハードウェアエミュレーション・プラグインをジャッジするスタンダードを設定しています。
ギターにPultec EQ、ボーカルにLA-2Aの穏やかなリミッティング、ドラムに本格的なFairchild 670コンプレッサーなど、あなたのレコーディングをよりリッチで、充実したアナログ・サウンドに大きく飛躍を遂げるでしょう。付属プラグインを確認する>
UADパワードプラグインの世界へアクセス
付属している“Realtime Analog Classics”プラグインの以外にも、数々の賞を受賞したビンテージEQ、コンプレッサー、リバーブ、テープマシンなどを含むUADパワードプラグインをオーディオ・ソフトウェアのバッファーサイズに関係なく、コンピューターのCPUに負担をかけずにほぼレイテンシーゼロで動作させることが可能です。
Neve、Studer、Manley、API、Ampex、Lexicon、Fenderなど†のエミュレーションだけで、無限のアナログ・スタジオをわずか1Uのラックスペースに持つようなものです。また、競合するインターフェイスとは異なり、DSPパワードプラグインは、DAWでミキシングに使用することも可能です。
プロフェッショナル・スタジオでの使用を視野に入れた64 x 64 Thunderbolt システムの拡張性
Apollo 16は、DB-25接続による16 x 16のアナログI/Oを提供し、プロフェッショナル・スタジオにとって理想的なインターフェイスといえます。アナログ接続+ L/Rモニター出力、AES/EBUデジタルI/O 等、Apollo 8/8pモデルの2倍の装備を持っています。これにより、ミキシング・コンソールやアウトボード・プロセッサーとのペアリングに最適で、現代のスタジオの中心に置くことが可能です。
更なる拡張性を必要とする場合、Apollo 16の内蔵デュアルThunderboltポートを使用して、さらに3台のApollo、最大で6台のUADデバイス*を加えることができ、64 x 64の同時アナログI/O、32コアによるUADプロセッシングを備えたネットワークシステムを構築可能です。

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。
“The Apollo 16 is the most stable, sonically accurate addition to my studio by far. Its incredible metering, monitor control, and the Realtime UAD Processing make it a game-changing interface.”
– Darrell Thorp (Beck, Radiohead, Charlotte Gainsbourg)
“Apollo's next-gen A/D and D/A conversion sounds incredibly detailed, with great clarity and tighter, punchier 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 new Apollos. 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)
“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 (Kanye West, Jay-Z, Fun.)
“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's ability to do low latency – I mean that's the whole ballgame right there.”
– Joey Waronker (Atoms for Peace, Beck, Other Lives)
“The Apollo has some of the better preamps I've ever heard – lots of headroom, quiet at high-gains, and the converters are really sweet sounding.”
– Mick Guzauski (Daft Punk, Mariah Carey, Eric Clapton)
“UAD plug-ins are amazing...
I’ve used them on all my projects
for the last few years.”
– Dan Auerbach The Black Keys
“My Apollos are my sound.
Where I go, they go.”
– Trevor Lawrence Jr. (Dr. Dre, Herbie Hancock, Eminem)
“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 was able to front a live mix, create a monitor mix, and record to Pro Tools, all at the same time. That’s pretty awesome.”
– Chris Dugan (Green Day, Iggy Pop, U2)

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.

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.

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.

Apollo 16 mk2
The overall sound of this unit is amazing! I’ve have had a number of other brands over the years and it is like someone took a blanket off the mix with the Apollo , and this is before even touching the plug ins.
Plugins: if you’ve bought a uad plugin package, definitely take time to demo the available options (14 day demo of all plugins included.) BEFORE you pick. The included plugins by themselves are great, too! I feel the uad plugins are much better than others out there.
Console software: this is the interface with the hardware. It needs some help. No midi control, so you are stuck mousing around. The lay out is not very flexible and the patch bay is beyond confusing.. I have a softube console 1, which helps but the intergeration still leaves a lot to desired.
Overall I’m glade I purchased this unit as it sounds amazing, and I’m sure my frustrations with the software limitations will pass in time as i find work arounds for it..P. Jackson
Perfect!
Purchased this to use with Neve 8816. It’s amazing. Thanks UA

Great Converter
I haven't had much hands on time with it yet besides A/Bing it with my last interface. The apollo is giving me very clean/precise conversion and was a breeze to set up. Ten outta ten would recommend

Apollo 16 is the best
Awesome! The converters sound so good! 16 channels of 192. Best purchase I've made so far.

"This unit makes music sound musical..."
This is a really great unit! The quality of conversion is fantastic allowing smooth full low end, rich mid range and a detailed open top. It really makes music sound musical and interesting.
The first thing that I noticed after I was up and running as I listened was the immediate sense of depth. I listened to some of my previous mixes mastered and unmastered… so much more space, detail and dimension. Honestly I was stunned and very happy. Tracking and mixing is exciting again!
IMHO it doesn't sound flat or pure as a mastering type converter would yet content sounds accurate and unaltered. Its rich with an interesting high quality texture as you push it yet it seems to reveal even more headroom. Even with such character its very versatile. It's definitely the right fit for me.
Then... theres the added bonus of the four sharc chips to power THE best plug-in hardware emulations hands down, the option to add unison mic pre technology and even more I/O expansion. Plus I purchased in time to qualify for the FREE octo satellite!
Big ups to Tom Koch at Sweetwater Sound and Jason Merritt at NCCU, Overdub Lane and The Engine Room.J. Dempsy

Best piece of recording gear I’ve used in a long long time. The plugins are on the money, I can send my mix out to my analogue console to sum them down for masters.... it’s just so versatile. Thanks, hep cats!!

Apollo 16 x2
Jetzt musste ich das zweite APOLLO16 haben. Die Soundqualität und die Handhabung sind für mich spitzenmäßig. In meiner Studioumgebung hatte ich bislang noch nichts besseres und jetzt kann ich auch in der Champions League spielen.
