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.

fantastic
Apollo Twin MkII is my third audio interface. It is way better than the other two regarding AD/DA, pre, etc. I wish I bought it earlier.
F. Coelho
Excellent!
Despite its high price in Brazil after all taxes, I can tell you I am very happy. It is really the best Audio interface I could buy for my home studio. The Unison feature is great!
T. Brown
Amazing quality
Really fantastic. Totally worth the cost. Takes a a little time to get used to its layout, but once you do it's very intuitive.
D. Rucker
Exactly what I needed
I have been in need of an interface upgrade and this is exactly what I was missing. Now I have a mobile rig with a Unison 1073 pre going into a CL1B before it even hits Pro Tools!

Apollo Twin MkII
I am not use to writing reviews on any product but I was compelled to for the Apollo Twin Mkll. A friend of mine owned one and I heard his mixes and recordings, and the clarity and pro sounds he was achieving piqued my curiosity. The first chance I got I purchased my Apollo Twin MkII and have not looked back since, it has been one of my best purchases in my recording career, only wished I was aware of such a fine product sooner. The console app along with the UA plugins make recording a great experience, the Apollo product line is in a league of its own , the dreaded latency of computer recording is brought to its knees. Thanks to all at Universal Audio for this beautiful sounding gear and plugins. Don’t wait like I did, do yourself a favor and get the best now ,pickup an Apollo interface and start making great music today!
B. Landino
Pairs nicely with scarlett.
I have to say that I'm very pleased so far. As a hobbyist, buying the twin has reignited my passion for music making. The sound quality is great, and the plugins are top notch. I have a scarlett 18in connect through adat, and it's amazing. It took me a while to learn the console software, and I'm still learning it really, but that's because it can do so much as far as routing and rerouting etc... Highly recommend this device!!
S. Jackson
It would have been good...
I would really like this device if it didn’t heat up so fast, and cuts off 2 the aux plugs once it’s gotten extremely hot.
D. Hollman
Such a great piece of kit!!!
Using this with an Apollo X8p and 2 OCTO cards. So awesome to take this with me on the road and be able to record takes anywhere that can be used on “Professional Productions”!
Thanks UAD!M. Ákos
