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.

UAD Consideration
I am very proud to have become part of this family.
the prophecy of sound with the right instrumentation is fulfilled.
I think the path to be taken to discover the realities of frequency is this.
the best plug in, DSP power without equal and that will make you feel secure in front of every type of recording.
First beginnings ... then thank me.I. Ellis
Pure Quality
Awesome in every way. Construction & build quality, sound quality, usability, software all faultless.
d. fernstrom
The Quality!!!!!
I love the neve plug most even though i love them all. The sound id outstanding. The Only thing Im very very sad and to be honest disapointed is that it lacks power. I mean at this price level i thought i should be able to use My plugs more, but after quite few instansens Im out of power.
I have them Only on line in now....Thank god i use cuabase so i can work around this but Im very sad. :(
But Quality...number One!J. Lauterjung
Awesome sounds, but awkward routing.
A very powerful and complex interface with pretty nice plugins included. However, going beyond the basic inputs and outputs can be tough for anyone using a different DAW than the ones they use as examples in their manuals and videos. The manuals alone are daunting enough with hundreds of pages to plow through. I'm still trying to figure out how the Aux sends and Cues work with my DAW (Sonar). Also, the bewildering array of available plugins makes for hours of trial and error to find any that don't simply reproduce the sounds I already have. As a composer/singer/guitarist I hadn't planned on spending so much time going up the learning curve, but I will say it's been a rewarding experience for the most part.

Just what I needed.

Love The Apollo TwinMKII
Since I’ve been using the Apollo Twin MkII, I have noticed a big difference with the vocals I have recorded. It gives off a thick & warm sound without applying any effects within the UA Console. I’m using it with an AKG mic and I have to say it’s a perfect match with rap vocals. I always recommended this unit to every engineer I know. Hands down its a must have in your home or project studio. While it gives off that big industry sound.
D. Hug
"just what i needed"
i play psytrance and psydub, sometimes with an accompanying synth. with the dedicated inputs and outputs I no longer need an extra mixer and can plug direct into the twin and also have the headphones on a cue bus. the extra two cores makes a perfect accompaniment to my studio rig and putting some UAD gold on the master bus upped my live sound with nice sparkles
C. Quinton
Incredible
I record a lot of vocals in scat form from my dining room table at home- I've always found it hard to stay inspired in head phones but the apollo has done just that. Loved every minute of it.
D. Coyle
Better than I expected!
With the UAD plugins it is so responsive and no latency. A major step up for me!
E. Ananda
Great Sound Quality
I just upgraded form and Audient ID 4 and I have to say there is a clear difference in sound quality. not to mention the amazing new plugins.
J. Sehlin
Magic!!!!
Went from a fantastic interface to this but didn't think it wolud make such a difference! MAGIC!!
A. Finale
This is simply the "King Of Audio Interfaces".
When you combine the pristine sound quality with the DSP power in these things, plus the awesome plugins, there's no looking back, you'll never settle for anything less.
I am in not in any way shape or form affiliated to Universal Audio, what I just stated is simply the truth.T. Braun
Twin MkII
Benutze den MkII in Kombination mit einem Apollo 8!
Da ich oft unterwegs bin kommt das kleinere natürlich immer mit auf die Reise...super Sache!
F. Olsen
Perfect for my home studio
Easy to use and best sounding unit i have tried. UAD`s page has alott of «how to`s» for new users like myself and the 14 day trail period for all plugins is perfect.
