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.

I have a UAD-2 Satellite Octa, as well. The two of them are rarely maxed out, even with pretty extensive mixing session going on here. There are workarounds in Pro Tools for that. Still, I am going to get myself another Satellite soon. I wouldn't work any other way.c. moody

Only one and a half year of life
My sound card just died after a year and a half of use at home. She just stopped turning on. I had to buy the same one. This suggests that they are very short-lived, but since this is the best product on the market, there is simply no choice.

My best choice for an interface!
When I came into contact with Universal Audio products for the first time, I was completely thrilled. The Apollo devices are just great and are indispensable in my recordings!

Perfect for preproduction studios
This was perfect for my small studio. I need to do professional recording of a small number of instruments. Having these pre amps to practice vocals through is also really nice!
P. Daly
No regrets!!
I got the Quad, anything less is a tease. Without a doubt the best interface I’ve had as regards AD/DA and quality recording of sources. The plugins are primo. Mobile to boot. 8p next for the full drum kit in Unison :)

Best purchase I made in a long time!
After having a full Recording Studio for many years, I decided to scale down and just do a little set up at my home. I can still get great sounds and mixes with this little thing. The plugins are amazing! Thank you UAD!
M. Olsson
Amazing
The sound quality of the preamps lifts decent mics up to new levels.

Apollo twin Pluggins
Apollo twin is a great equipment. really really great. I have a minor problems but purely based on the fact that am new to Apollo. Using it with Logic Pro x 10.4. somehow I cannot easily make them work together. Secondly I bought plugins but I cannot use them with Logic Pro x. If I can get assistance on that it will be awesome.

It's Working!
My studio in now complete. My monitors and mic have been brought to life with the MKII DUO.
G. Hardman
Apollo MKII is the Best sounding Interface without a doubt!
I have had many interfaces as a studio owner Apogee, Focusrite, Presonus ect. Nothing comes close to the MKII Apollo. I sold my Avalon Vt-737 mic preamp because the Apollo mic preamps with the unison preamp turned the Avalon into a paperweight. Thanks UAD worth every penny

The perfect Interface for my Guitar Home Studio
I was looking for a High-Quality Interface for recording my two amps in stereo at home. Sounds Amazing! Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for.
