About the Universal Audio Apollo 8 QUAD Thunderbolt 2 Audio Interface
The Apollo 8 QUAD is a one-rack-space 18 x 24 Thunderbolt 2 audio interface for Mac and Windows: four Unison mic preamps, 24-bit/192 kHz conversion and four SHARC DSP chips that run UAD plug-ins while recording and mixing. Against the original Apollo it has redesigned converters, front-panel Alt speaker, Dim and Mono switching with a Meter button, and Unison on the two front Hi-Z instrument inputs as well as the preamps; Unison plug-ins change the input impedance and gain behaviour to match the modelled hardware. The four mic/line inputs are combo sockets on the back, beside four line inputs. Outputs are eight line outputs, a monitor pair and two headphone outputs, and digital I/O is two ADAT ports each way, coaxial S/PDIF and word clock. Its two Thunderbolt 2 ports link up to 4 Apollos and 6 UAD-2 devices, and a computer with Thunderbolt 3 on USB-C needs a Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter.
It comes with the Realtime Analog Classics Plus bundle: the 610-B Tube Preamp and EQ, legacy LA-2A, 1176LN, 1176SE, Fairchild 670 and Pultec EQs, Marshall Plexi and Ampeg SVT-VR amps, Softube amp rooms and Raw distortion. Plug-ins are tied to the unit in a Universal Audio account: on a sale the owner transfers the device and its plug-ins to the buyer's account. Some used units carry the previous owner's extra plug-ins, others only the bundle. It runs from an external power supply that comes in the box. Owners can use LUNA, UA's free recording application for Mac.
