- 24-bit / 192 kHz conversion with 127 dB dynamic range for accurate monitoring
- UAD-2 DUO Core DSP powers 25 Heritage Edition plug-ins, including LA-2A, 1176, and Pultec
- Unison preamps let you track through legendary hardware emulations in real time
- Expand your setup with TOSLINK optical input supporting 8 extra ADAT channels at 44.1/48 kHz
Apollo Twin X DUO USB Heritage Edition — Elite USB-C Conversion for Windows
Universal Audio Twin X DUO USB HE delivers reference-level 24-bit / 192 kHz audio conversion with real-time DSP for Windows-based studios. Next-generation converters and UAD-2 DUO Core processing enable tracking through classic analog plug-ins with almost no latency. The all-metal chassis features hands-on controls for monitor management, preamp selection, and signal routing without tedious menu navigation.
Unison Preamp Technology and DUO Core DSP
Unison technology matches preamp impedance and gain staging to UAD plug-in models of Neve, API, Manley, and Avalon. With onboard DUO Core processing, your system resources are preserved—even during complex mixes—as plug-in emulations run independently of the computer's CPU.
Elite-Class 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA Conversion
The advanced converters provide a spacious, lifelike soundstage with extremely low distortion and broad dynamic range. Acoustic details, subtle reverbs, and vocal nuances remain preserved after conversion.
- Sample Rate: 192 kHz / 24 bit — captures ultrasonic harmonics and fits high-resolution workflows
- Dynamic Range: 127 dB on monitor outputs — allows you to discern every nuance in dense productions
- Even when mixing quietly, the THD+N of -117 dB ensures signal purity on all outputs.
Versatile I/O with ADAT Expansion
Combo inputs accept microphones and line sources, while a Hi-Z jack on the front panel is ready for guitars and basses. Expand up to eight additional channels with the optical ADAT input—ideal for larger recording sessions.
- Preamps: 2 Unison XLR/Jack combo with +10 to +65 dB gain and -20 dB pad per channel
- Digital Input: TOSLINK Optical (ADAT / S/PDIF) — supports 8 channels at 44.1/48 kHz and 4 at 88.2/96 kHz
- Connect to your computer with USB-C 3.0 (USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2).
Heritage Edition DSP and Monitor Control
Included Heritage Edition plug-ins provide instant access to a curated suite of the most iconic studio processors. Session workflow is streamlined by dedicated monitor controls and a built-in talkback mic, supporting everything from tracking to mixing in professional environments.
- DSP Core: UAD-2 DUO Core — handles plug-ins without straining your CPU
- Included Plug-Ins: 25 Heritage Edition titles — including Teletronix LA-2A, 1176, Pultec EQ, UA 610 Tube Preamp
- With monitor controls for Mono, Mute, DIM, ALT, plus integrated talkback, the interface streamlines team communication during sessions.
Number of Channels: 8
This product offers 8 channels, allowing you to efficiently connect and manage multiple audio sources simultaneously. Each channel operates independently, giving you full control over each input, greatly expanding your ability to create and edit sound.
Number of Preamps: 2
The product features two preamplifiers, ensuring high-quality sound processing for two input channels. This system provides clear sound with low noise, ideal for stereo recording or using two microphones or instruments simultaneously.
Phantom Power: Yes
Phantom power provides the necessary voltage for condenser microphones that require an external power source to operate properly. This power supply is built directly into the microphone input, eliminating the need for additional power supplies.
Bit Depth: 24 bit
The 24-bit depth provides significantly more dynamic range and detail than standard 16-bit recording. With 24-bit depth, you can capture finer details and wider dynamic range, perfect for professional recording, mastering, and applications where accuracy and sound quality are critical.
S/PDIF: Yes
S/PDIF is a digital interface used to transfer high-quality audio between devices such as CD players, audio interfaces, amplifiers, and home theaters. It transfers audio signals in digital form without any loss of quality. S/PDIF ensures clean and accurate signal transmission without the need for conversion to analog form, minimizing noise and interference, making it ideal for professional and home audio systems.
ADAT: Yes
ADAT is a digital transmission protocol that allows the transmission of up to 8 channels of digital audio over a single optical cable (Toslink). It is often used in studio applications to increase the number of audio channels between devices such as audio interfaces and digital mixers. ADAT allows for high-quality audio transmission while providing more channels at lower sample rates. This format is ideal for situations where it is necessary to transmit multiple channels of digital audio without loss of quality.

DA Conversion: Yes
DA conversion allows digital signals to be converted to analog signals with high accuracy. This process ensures that digital audio is reproduced with minimal distortion, preserving all the fine details and dynamics of the original sound. Thanks to high-quality DA conversion, the sound is clear, rich, and true to the original when played through speakers or headphones.
AD Conversion: Yes
High-quality AD conversion ensures that every detail and dynamic range of analog audio is preserved when converted to digital form, ideal for professional recording and production. This allows analog sound sources such as microphones and instruments to be accurately recorded in digital systems.
