The Universal Audio Apollo e2m is a stereo headphone amplifier and line-level interface designed specifically for integration within Dante audio networks, featuring professional-grade A/D conversion, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) functionality, and versatile connectivity options.
Robust Dante Network Integration
The Apollo e2m enhances Dante audio networks by providing comprehensive monitoring and input/output capabilities. It supports audio sampling rates from 44.1 to 96 kHz, AES67 interoperability at 48 kHz, and features Dante Device Lock, managed through Dante Controller software.
Professional Audio Connectivity
The Apollo e2m includes stereo ¼-inch line inputs ideal for integrating synthesizers, drum machines, amp emulators, playback devices such as samplers, and smartphones. These inputs deliver a dynamic range of 120 dB with exceptional clarity, achieving THD+N ratings of -115 dB.
Flexible Output and Monitoring Options
The interface offers stereo ¼-inch line outputs alongside parallel stereo headphone outputs, provided via ¼-inch and ⅛-inch mini-jacks. Both headphone and line outputs benefit from a shared analogue volume control, with dedicated mute options to streamline monitoring processes. Output specifications maintain a dynamic range of 120 dB, with THD+N at -112 dB for headphones and -109 dB for line outputs.
Convenient Power and Mounting Solutions
Powered via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), consuming approximately 7W (typically around 5W), the Apollo e2m simplifies installation and reduces cable clutter. A built-in 5/8-inch threaded mount facilitates easy attachment to standard microphone stands, allowing users flexible positioning on stage, in studios, or in broadcast environments.
Seamless Integration with Apollo Ecosystem
When combined with Universal Audio’s Apollo x16D interface and Apollo e1x remote-controllable Unison preamps, the Apollo e2m offers a complete Dante audio solution with minimal latency (selectable at 1 ms, 2 ms, or 5 ms via Dante Controller). Users gain access to authentic analogue preamp emulations from renowned brands such as API, Neve, and SSL.
