Take UAD plug-ins from studio to stage.

Perfect for live sound venues or networked recording studios, Apollo x16D gives you elite-class Apollo X sound and realtime UAD plug-in processing over Thunderbolt and Dante. With Apollo x16D, you can mix and record live performances with over 200 UAD plug-ins from Neve, SSL, and Auto-Tune, plus classic LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and more.

Mix Live Sound with UAD Plug-Ins

With its 16 channels of Dante I/O, 24-bit / 192 kHz elite-class Apollo X D/A conversion, 133 dB of dynamic range, and HEXA core DSP processing, Apollo x16D is the only audio interface in the world that’s purpose-built for mixing live performances with UAD plug-ins.

Understanding Apollo x16D

It’s our most powerful system for mixing live sound with UAD plug-ins or expanding your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio over Dante. Learn what it is, what it does, and why you need it from UA experts and fanatics.

Work Fast & Never Lose Your Settings

With its powerful digital mixing engine giving you control over inputs, outputs, and plug-in routing — Apollo x16D makes it easy to build your mix and control entire effects chains in realtime. Then quickly recall your plug-in settings over MIDI, all without interrupting the performance.

Hundreds of Effects, One Rack Space

Apollo x16D comes in two editions, both delivering a generous suite of UAD plug-ins right out of the box. Build your mix with classic Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, and Neve channel strips along with modern favorites from Auto-Tune, Avalon, and more.

Expand Your Studio Over Dante

Link up to four x16Ds to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy. Or expand your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio over Dante — the most low-latency and scalable audio network available. This means that if you’ve been considering making the switch to a networked recording studio, or you simply want to grow to a multi-room setup, you don’t have to start from scratch.

Mix Down to Surround

After the show, bring Apollo x16D back to the studio, where it becomes your all‑in‑one monitoring hub for mixing formats up to 9.1.6. This allows you to easily create 16‑channel immersive audio mixes of live sets or studio recordings for Dolby Atmos, Auro‑3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.
