Compatible Unison™ emulations include iconic equipment from manufacturers such as: Neve® API® Manley® SSL® Avalon® Helios® Universal Audio 610 and many more available within the UAD ecosystem.

Two dedicated Hi-Z instrument inputs on the front panel allow direct recording of electric guitars and basses while using authentic UAD amplifier and effects emulations with virtually no latency.

QUAD Core DSP Processing The integrated QUAD Core DSP processor provides the power required to run multiple professional UAD plug-ins simultaneously while recording. Compressors, equalizers, channel strips, tape machine emulations, reverbs, guitar amplifiers, and mastering processors operate in realtime without placing heavy demands on your computer's CPU.

This hybrid workflow combines dedicated DSP processing with your computer's native performance, making Apollo x6 Gen 2 equally suitable for large recording sessions, complex mixes, and professional mastering projects.
