Universal Audio Apollo x16D Overview
The Universal Audio Apollo x16D Essentials+ is a Thunderbolt 3 and Dante-enabled audio interface built for professional studios and networked sound venues that need elite-class conversion, real-time UAD processing, and scalable Dante connectivity. If you’re running a modern live room, a multi-room facility, or a Dante-based venue rig, Apollo x16D Essentials+ gives you Apollo X audio quality with the routing flexibility to match.
Elite-Class Conversion with Dual Crystal Clocking
Apollo x16D Essentials+ delivers next-generation Apollo conversion designed for serious tracking and critical monitoring. Dual Crystal clocking helps keep your recordings stable and focused, while the elite-class AD/DA gives you the kind of low distortion and detailed imaging you expect in a high-end control room. Whether you’re recording live sets for release or building immersive mixes that need to translate, this interface is built to keep everything clean and consistent.
16x16 Dante I/O for Networked Venues and Multi-Room Studios
With 16x16 Dante connectivity (and AES67 support at 48 kHz), Apollo x16D Essentials+ plugs directly into modern networked audio systems without forcing you to rebuild your workflow. It’s a strong fit for venues that want clean capture plus flexible routing, and for studios expanding into multi-room tracking, broadcast-style routing, or Dante-based tie lines. If you want to scale, you can link multiple units for larger Dante systems with redundancy.
HEXA Core DSP for Real-Time UAD Plug-Ins
The built-in UAD-2 HEXA Core processor lets you track and monitor through UAD plug-ins in real time with near-zero latency, which is exactly what you want when you’re printing live vocals, controlling dynamics on the way in, or building reliable monitor chains for performers. Plug-In Scenes make it easy to recall full setups quickly, which is especially valuable in live environments or fast-paced sessions where you cannot waste time rebuilding routing and processing from scratch.
Built for Immersive Audio Monitoring
If you’re working in surround or immersive formats, Apollo x16D Essentials+ supports monitoring up to 9.1.6, making it a practical hub for Dolby Atmos and other spatial workflows. It’s also a smart choice if you want to future-proof a room that’s moving toward immersive deliverables without giving up the speed and simplicity of the Apollo ecosystem.
