The Universal Audio Apollo Twin Duo USB Heritage Edition is a special edition of the Universal Audio Apollo Twin MkII Duo USB 3 audio interface that includes a suite of 5 award-winning UAD plug-ins.

The Universal Audio Apollo Twin Duo USB Interface is a USB 3.0 audio interface for Windows. It includes a UAD-2 DUO DSP chip giving access to the full range of UAD plug-ins.

The Heritage Edition includes some of Universal Audio’s most popular plugin emulations including collections from Teletronix, Pultec and Universal Audio.

An Outstanding Thunderbolt Audio Interface

The Universal Audio Apollo Twin USB features Universal Audio's legendary 24-bit/192kHz audio conversion. It lets you record your music through UAD Plug-ins in real-time adding racks of classic gear in your hands.

Unison Mic Preamps

The Apollo Twin USB also includes Universal Audio's groundbreaking Unison-enable mic preamps. This technology lets users recreate the tone and behaviour of the most sought-after mic preamps from Neve, API and UA. 

Unique hardware-software integration ensures perfect recreation of the preamp's impedance, gain-staging and component-level behaviour resulting in a new level of realism with virtually zero latency. 

Not only does it sound like the real thing, it feels like it too. With Unison technology also available on the DI input, you can also get the same realism while tracking guitars through Universal Audio's stunning Fender, Marshall and Ampeg amp simulations.

UAD Processing

With the built-in UAD-2 DSP technology, you can also record using all the UAD Powered plug-ins at near-zero latency. Record with Neve preamps onto a Studer tape machine even before hitting your DAW, or mix with Lexicon reverbs, Manley EQ and compressors and much more.

Thoughtfully placed next to the converters, the DSP processors let users record through UAD plug-ins at near-zero latency. It’s like recording through some of the best hardware.

Build a Scalable Recording System over Thunderbolt

Extra features include an analogue line and monitor outputs. Eight digital inputs are provided via optical, increasing the total inputs to 10.

A Complete Recording System with LUNA

Apollo interfaces are compatible with any DAW offering low-latency recording via their Console interface.

Used in combination with the LUNA Recording Software, the Apollo X series become a powerful and complete integrated recording system with the benefits of a flexible workstation and seamless integration of hardware and software.

LUNA's Accelerated Real-time Monitoring allows users to record and mix with near-zero latency without leaving its convenient one window workflow with unlimited track counts. 

The free version of LUNA gives you everything you need to record and mix with your Apollo interface but additional extensions can be used to create even more powerful recording systems to provide in-the-box analogue tones with Tapes and Summing extensions as well as stunning virtual instruments.
