Product description
The centerpiece of your next music project
The next generation of UA's Apollo x6 interfaces has arrived for producers and small professional studios that need the highest-resolution digital audio converters available, two Unison? mic preamps, and the HEXA Core DSP processor for composing and producing music with renowned UAD plug-ins, including Auto-Tune, emulations of equipment from Neve, Manley, Avalon, SSL, and hundreds of other processors.
The world's leading producers and engineers choose the Apollo x6 when they need the exceptional sound and DSP power of the Apollo X, but not the additional physical channels of the larger models. Today, we offer you the opportunity to upgrade your production environment with UA's timeless sound and legendary expertise.

Key benefits
Work with next-generation audio converters; Apollo has never offered such a wide dynamic range and such low distortion
Enjoy analog sound as if you were in a professional studio with Unison? preamps. They let you record in real time through faithful emulations of equipment from Neve, API, Avalon, Manley, Fender, and more.
Access more than 200 UAD DSP and native plug-ins, including the renowned Capitol Chambers, Sound City Studios, EL8 Distressor, and more.
Mix with confidence on any speakers or headphones with the Apollo Monitor Correction feature powered by Sonarworks® technology*
Use the automatic gain function to adjust the gain of multiple inputs in just a few seconds. That way, you will never miss another take.
Hear the low end of your mixes in every detail by using the bass management system when you add a subwoofer to your monitoring system.
Set up low-latency headphone networks, plug-in scenes, and immersive monitoring in just a few clicks with the UAD Console app.
Choose between the Essentials+ and Studio+ editions and receive thousands of dollars’ worth of UAD plug-ins, including Auto-Tune, Fairchild processors, Teletronix processors, and more.
The new centerpiece of your rack
Universal Audio designed the Apollo x6 for producers who need the highest-quality sound, but not all the additional analog preamps typically found on larger rackmount models. With its exceptional dynamic range, cutting-edge 24-bit / 192 kHz digital audio converters, and now even more advanced D/A monitoring features, the Apollo x6 brings star-quality sound directly to your rack.
All the inputs you need
With its two Unison? preamps and front-panel high-impedance instrument inputs, the Apollo x6 lets you record in real time with the sound of dozens of classic pieces of gear, including those from Neve, Manley, API, Fender, and Marshall. And thanks to its six additional line inputs, you’ll have no trouble connecting your synthesizers, keyboards, and all the rest of your equipment.
The perfect blend of vintage and modern for your mixes
The Apollo x6 gives you all the tools you need to create breathtaking mixes right out of the box. In addition to the synthesizers, tape echoes, Teletronix LA-2A compressors, and Pultec equalizers included with the interface, you can access more than 200 UAD plug-ins. These globally acclaimed processors will significantly elevate the quality of your productions.
Unprecedented detail
The second-generation Apollo x6 features D/A converters with the highest resolution UA has ever offered. They are paired with Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks® technology. This not only gives you the most accurate representation of your recordings through your speakers or headphones, but also ensures there are no unpleasant surprises when you listen to your mix or final master.
UAD Console, the app that adapts to your needs
Like an analog studio, where everything runs through the console, the Apollo x6 features a powerful digital mixing engine that lets you control plug-in routing and monitoring. And with new features such as automatic gain adjustment, bass management, 5.1 surround support, and plug-in scenes, you’ll have no trouble creating the optimal working environment.
A hybrid system designed for all your projects
Pair the Apollo x6’s HEXA Core DSP with plug-ins running on your host computer to work on large sessions with complex processing chains—a powerful hybrid environment that outperforms any native recording setup.
Your studio evolves with you
Scale your studio to meet your needs by chaining up to four Apollo Thunderbolt interfaces. You’ll have up to 128 inputs and outputs for working in your DAW, and you can control them from your desk using an Apollo Twin or x4. Wherever your music takes you, you’ll always have an Apollo within reach.**
