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)

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.

Universal Audio is the Best!
When I was an intern in Memphis, TN, One Sound Studio’s owner gave me a paid internship and he exposed me to the Apollo Twin MKII. I was blessed with the opportunity after two months to record Hit the Quan by iHeartMemphis that went platinum shortly after. When I saved enough money and gained enough clients, I invested in an Apollo and it has changed my life financially, sonically, and has provided a new realm of quality to give to my clients as well as myself as an artist. I am excited to finally be an owner and operator as well as an artist who benefits from the quality of this interface. I cannot ever see myself working with an interface below the standard of the console concept as well as analog conversion in an in home setting and or official studio like One Sound. Luis Cole deserves an endorsement by Universal Audio because it is the corner stone of his mentorship. Additionally, I was blessed to be mentored by Al Spears who has worked with Ludacris, Gucci Mane, Project Pat, Three Six Mafia, and even The Bar- Kays who should also be endorsed by Universal Audio. He has taken it a step farther with me by showing me the functions of the Apollo interface as well as the fundamentals of audio engineering. With the Apollo, everyone involved in my development including myself has went platinum or above as recording and mixing engineers. My alias as an engineer and artist is 2onicc. I am releasing a project October 11, 2021 called Insouciant. You will hear the growth and I accomplished audible quality from my living room, thanks to Universal Audio and my mentors who worked countless hours to help me get to where I am today. Thank you in advance thank you for back then, and thank you for the present.

The best desktop / mobile interface.
If you are looking for the best, don't hesitate. Apollo Twin MKII has the best AD/DA convertes and the best sound of any mobile interface. In fact it sounds exactly like it's big brothers (Apollo 8, 8P and 16). The Unison preamps are amazing and the plugins are stellar. Really a PRO level sound in any place. I use Uaudio gear since 2009 and will continue to use because they are simply the best.

Excellent quality
First, I'd like to point out that I'm on Mac m1 and it works perfectly. No dropouts and very stable. The only complaints might be that I'd like to see lower RTL within the daw. Right now it cannot compete with an rme interface in terms of latency. I'd also like to be able to use the buttons on the interface for trigger sessions A and B. Meaning perhaps on session A I have the monitors turned on and session B I have the headphones turned on. For quick switching that would be great. The knob feels great
J. Harmes
Best audio interface ever
I like a lot. It is simple, good sounding, fast and reliable. Ok there is a lack of dsp and it makes working with Luna difficult because there is no freezing button in Luna. For now I am using it and Uad plugins with Logic where it works fine.

Exceptional For Vocal Monitoring
If you are a vocalist and want that studio vibe while recording your vocals at home, UAD is your answer. The sweet preamps on the unison slot not only give you great harmonics and musicality to monitor with, but also the option to record the signal wet, as you hear it. Used a bunch of expensive sound cards before I took the plunge into the UAD universe, and though the plugins are expensive no doubt, it is way ahead and there is nothing like it out there.
