Universal Audio Apollo Twin MKII Duo Heritage

The clarity of preamps and the warmth of the sound is unbeatable to other thunderbolt audio/midi cards I've tried from all the companies who make them throughout my years in the business! So Universal Audio Apollo is a class by it self and highly recommended to all musicians, producers and composers out there!

Great sound, love the simplicity of the design

After almost 15 years as a voiceover, going through audio interfaces from M-audio and Focusrite, i decided to make my Neumann shine. And this one really makes your gear sound better!

What I didn't really enjoyed (but is understandable with all the features) is the installation. Coming from much simpler interfaces, having to download, start, restart was a bit annoying. But after that, everything was pretty simple.

Another inconvenience is coming from the need of buying (pretty expensive) plugins. For example, I love the sound of Avalon VT 737 as a hardware and the pluging in the UA was pretty good. But having to pay 200+ Euro for this isn't the best experience. Also loved the Manley plugin (about the same price).

Overall, you get a great sounding interface, an Apple design, pretty easy to use and the possibility to have multiple famous hardware for a fraction of the price.

Amazing sound card

This audio interface is just great!

The handling, the mute button, the hardware quality and the preamps, everything deserve a 5-star rating.

Universal Audio made professional gear affordable! Apollo and all the plug ins sounds so good, I hear things I've never heard because of it!

This is one way ticket to world of pro audio equipment

I bought this to figure out why it is so expensive. And I understood everything after the first use. First-class hardware, fastest software, comfortable control, perfect performance — and it's all in one small device. Using plugins with no latency, it's something incredible!

Game changer

i didnt expect so much audible difference but i am blown away.

this interface is for now and in my opinion the way to get professional recording sound into small home studio. highly recommended. plus with the plug ins bundle that came with it everything sounds really good and i really can hear all the subtle nuances.

Simply Awesome !!

This thing is so Cool it's a no brainer in this price range.

2 DSP is sufficient for tracking but for any serious mixing you really also need a satellite.

It's great as a monitor control if you already have rack mounted apollos.
