The Apollo x16 Gen 2 is a rackmount Apollo built around 16 x 16 analog I/O on DB-25 connections, with switchable +24 dBu headroom. HEXA Core DSP records and mixes large sessions with UAD plug-ins in real time, and it handles immersive mixes up to 9.1.6 for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio and others.
It suits a studio with a console, outboard preamps or a summing setup, and engineers mixing in immersive formats. For a Dante system that also works live, see the x16D.
This listing is the Ultimate+ edition, which comes with UAD Complete, UA's full plug-in collection.
