Track through classic preamps, compressors and amps in real time on your Windows PC. The Universal Audio Apollo Twin USB Heritage Edition is a desktop USB 3 audio interface with two Unison mic preamps, a Unison Hi-Z input and UAD DUO Core processing.

Why customers choose it

• Unison preamps: two mic/line preamps that model Neve, API, Manley, SSL, Avalon, Helios and UA preamps – including impedance and gain-stage behaviour.
• Guitar-ready: the front-panel Hi-Z input also uses Unison for accurate matching with guitar and bass amp models from Fender, Marshall, Ampeg and more.
• Near-zero latency effects: UAD DUO Core processing lets you record through vintage compressors, EQs, tape machines and amps as you play.
• Apollo conversion: world-class A/D and D/A with two analog monitor outputs.
• Expandable: up to 8 extra digital inputs via optical ADAT/S/PDIF.
• Plug-ins included: Realtime Analog Classics bundle (UA 610-B, Legacy Pultec, LA-2A and 1176, Marshall Plexi Classic, Ampeg SVT-VR Classic and more) plus the Heritage Edition bundle; runs UAD plug-ins in VST, AU and AAX 64.
