The Universal Audio Apollo Solo USB 3 is a special edition USB audio interface that includes a suite of 5 award-winning UAD plug-ins.

The Universal Audio Apollo Solo USB 3 is a 2x4 USB 3 audio interface with class-leading conversion, Unison mic preamps and 14 UAD plug-ins for recording vocals and instrument with near-zero latency.

An Outstanding USB Audio Interface

The Universal Audio Apollo Solo USB 3 comes with two mic/line inputs over Combo XLR/Jack, two Jack outputs, a DI input, and headphones output at the front. The top panel includes the main level knob that controls the Unison preamps gain and monitor level control. Additional controls cover input type selection, high-pass filter, +48V phantom power, phase (polarity reversal) and a link button for stereo recordings.

Unison Mic Preamps

The USB 3 audio interface comes with two Unison mic preamps that recreate the exact tone and feel of some of the most popular tube and transformer-based mic preamps or guitar cabinet emulations.

Unison technology offers stunning models of classic hardware. It works by providing a continuous, real-time and bi-directional link between the digitally-controlled hardware mic preamp and UAD software. It ensures precise matching of gain and impedance of the emulated mic preamp as well as its behaviour.

Once a Unison-enabled plug-in has been selected, the analogue input and digital plug-in remain in constant communication to ensure relative adjustments are made to closely match the impedance and gain staging of the original hardware preamp, creating a dynamic response as if you were using the original unit.

Unison also works with their range of unison ready-guitar amp adding another level of realism when trying to get the ideal tone.

Realtime UAD Processing

The Apollo Solo includes an onboard UAD-2 SOLO Core processor that lets you record and monitor through your entire collection of UAD Powered plug-ins. The Realtime UAD Processing technology lets you track through an extensive range of classic analogue emulations all at near-zero latency regardless of buffer settings.
