This Thunderbolt 3 audio interface is designed for audio professionals who demand exceptional sound quality and maximum flexibility for studio recording and mixing.
With 12 inputs and 18 outputs, the Apollo x4 Heritage Edition can handle complex setups, including both analog and digital inputs. Its compatibility with Mac and Windows (for Thunderbolt 3-equipped PCs only) ensures seamless integration into any production environment. The Apollo X-derived A/D and D/A converters guarantee an exceptional dynamic range of 127 dB and an extremely low harmonic distortion + noise ratio (< 117 dB).
The Apollo x4 features 4 Unison™ mic preamps, allowing you to enjoy classic tube and solid-state guitar amp and mic preamp modeling in real time. The UAD QUAD Core processor provides enough processing power to run UAD-2 VST, AU, RTAS, and AAX 64 plug-ins in most DAWs.
On the front panel, you’ll find 2 Unison Hi-Z instrument inputs and 2 independent headphone outputs, making monitoring and recording easy. The built-in talkback mic makes it easy to communicate with performers in the booth, while dedicated monitoring includes speaker volume, Mono, Mute, DIM, and ALT controls.

Warning:
- Optional Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable
- Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C ports share the same connectivity, but a USB-C port (no lightning bolt logo above) will not be compatible with this interface
- the Thunderbolt port
- WARNING: Windows compatibility is only valid with PCs equipped with Thunderbolt 3 (or 2) ports present by default on your motherboard. If your PC has this type of port following the addition of a daughter card placed on a PCIe slot in the tower, it will not work.
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, and more.
LUNA Recording System — Complete Integration with Apollo for Fast and Intuitive Work
All Apollo X series interfaces work with leading Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), including Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools. But they become fully integrated recording systems with LUNA, a powerful application from Universal Audio available on the Mac. With its Accelerated Realtime Monitoring™ technology, LUNA lets you record and mix in a single, highly intuitive interface with unlimited tracks, full support for AU plug-ins, and access to an exclusive suite of LUNA Instruments and Extensions.
