Exclusive to UA Audio Interfaces, Unison technology nails the tone of these sought-after tube and solid state mic pres including their input impedance, gain stage sweet spots, and the component-level circuit behaviors of the original hardware.
The secret to Unison is its hardware-software integration between Apollos mic preamps and its onboard UAD DUO or QUAD Core DSP Acceleration. Simply place a Unison preamp plug-in on your mic input in Apollo Console software, and it physically reconfigures the Apollo interface’s impedance so you can tap into the classic sounds of the worlds most recorded mic preamps.
With thousands of hit songs and hundreds of Grammy-winning albums under their belt, Apollo interfaces are used to track exceptional-sounding records every day. To improve on the previous generation of desktop Apollo interfaces class-leading audio conversion, UA engineers redesigned the Twins audio conversion to deliver a striking 127 dB dynamic range and -117 dB THD+N, giving Apollo Twin X a spacious, organic sound that easily rivals dedicated high-end converters.
