The Apollo x16D is UA's Dante-networked Apollo, built to take UAD plug-ins from the studio to the stage. It connects to a front-of-house or monitor console over Dante and runs UAD plug-ins at low latency, so a vocal chain dialled in at home can go out on a gig. Up to four x16Ds link into a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy at 96 kHz, and Plug-In Scenes recall settings mid-performance.
It is for players and engineers building a networked rig, live or across several rooms. Pair it with the Apollo e1x for remote-controlled Unison preamps and the e2m for headphone and line I/O. For a studio rack, compare it with the Apollo x16.
This listing is the Essentials+ edition, which comes with UA's UAD Analog Classics plug-in bundle.
