Exclusive to Universal Audio, Unison technology offers a proprietary hardware/software integration that accurately reproduces the sound of these legendary tube and transistor mic preamps — including their input impedance, the "sweet spots" of their gain stages and the behavior of the circuits of the original models. You'll also find Unison technology on the Hi-Z instrument input on the front of the Apollo Twin X; it adapts the impedance and gain when you use guitar and bass amp models from Fender, Marshall, Ampeg, etc.

Je ne maîtrise pas encore totalement tout mais la carte-son semble de très bonne qualité. Petite crise au moment de l’installation en ligne, mais au final tout est ok.
