From Apollo Heritage to the Second Generation x8 Studio+
Born from Universal Audio's expertise, the second-generation Apollo x8 Studio+ refines conversion and clock stability to deliver increased precision, solid stereo imaging, and flawless transients. The collaboration with Sonarworks adds native monitoring calibration: your mixing decisions remain consistent from room to room, and your masters "travel" without surprises.Designed for Demanding Creators
Built for production studios, post-production, artist-directors, and hybrid creators, the Apollo x8 Studio+ excels in multi-source recording, near-zero latency overdubs, re-amping, mixing, and immersive monitoring up to 7.1. The Unison preamps allow you to "track through" UAD emulations with the correct level, impedance, and analog behavior right at the input.Features and Innovations Serving Workflow
Conversion, Clocking, and Calibrated Monitoring
High-end A/D and D/A converters combined with Dual Crystal Clocking minimize jitter for clean recordings and a stable stereo field. With "Apollo Monitor Correction" by Sonarworks, the room becomes an asset: correction curves, level management, and headphone/speaker consistency integrate directly into monitoring control.UAD Console, Speed, and Flexibility
UAD Console centralizes routing, recalls plug-in scenes, activates Auto-Gain, manages bass management, and facilitates downmix/upmix in 7.1 surround. The HEXA Core DSP supports real-time chains while your computer hosts native plug-ins for a smooth hybrid system.Professional Connectivity and Front Panel Control
With 4 microphone preamps, 2 Hi-Z inputs, 8 line outputs, dedicated monitor outputs, dual headphone outputs, ADAT x2, S/PDIF, and Word Clock, the Apollo x8 Studio+ covers all studio scenarios. The talkback mic, monitor switch, and assignable Dim/Mono button speed up communication and pre-take checks. Via Thunderbolt, cascade up to 4 Apollo units to expand I/O and DSP.Technical specifications
