Universal Audio Apollo x8p Gen 2 Studio+
The Universal Audio Apollo x8p Gen 2 Studio+ Edition is a rackmount Thunderbolt audio interface built for serious studios that need premium conversion, eight Unison mic preamps, and real-time UAD plug-in processing. With next-generation elite-class AD/DA and Dual-Crystal clocking, it’s designed to capture cleaner transients, tighter imaging, and the kind of depth you normally only hear in high-end rooms.
This Studio+ bundle also includes Universal Audio’s expanded UAD Studio+ Edition plug-in collection, giving you 58 titles across EQs, compressors, delays, reverbs, instruments, and more. It’s a full hybrid workflow setup: track with UAD DSP in real time, then keep building with native plug-ins inside your DAW.
Apollo x8p Gen 2 Overview
Elite-Class AD/DA + Dual-Crystal Clocking
Apollo x8p Gen 2 is built around next-generation elite-class conversion with an ultra-pristine signal path, plus Dual-Crystal clocking to keep jitter extremely low for clear, artifact-free recordings and stable stereo imaging. If you’re tracking full productions and want confidence that your converters and clock are not the bottleneck, this is the kind of front end you can build a studio around.
8 Unison Preamps + HEXA Core Real-Time Processing
With eight Unison-enabled mic preamps and a powerful HEXA Core processor, you can track in real time through models of classic studio hardware while keeping latency low and your computer free for bigger sessions. The Unison system goes deeper than standard modeling by adjusting impedance, gain staging, and circuit behavior so your mic interacts naturally with the input like it would on the real gear.
Monitoring Tools That Scale with Your Room
Apollo x8p Gen 2 supports advanced monitoring workflows, including bass management for sub integration and optional Apollo Monitor Correction for calibrated speaker and headphone monitoring. You also get Auto-Gain for fast, consistent level setup and native support for mixing formats up to 7.1, which makes it a strong choice for surround and multichannel production work.
