Apollo x8p Gen 2 STU+

Our most advanced Apollo x8p is here. For bands, engineers, and producers who need eight Unison™ mic preamps, highest-resolution audio conversion, and realtime UAD processing — which lets you record through plug-ins from Auto-Tune, Neve, API, Manley, and more without latency — Apollo x8p puts legendary UA sound and craftsmanship right in your rack.

We built Apollo x8p for producers and bands who need highest-quality audio with expanded analog inputs. With its elite-class Apollo X audio conversion, unprecedented dynamic range, and enhanced D/A monitoring — Apollo x8p is the only audio interface that gives you authentic analog sound and workflows for large sessions.

Use Unison™ technology to track in realtime with the sound of classic preamps and channel strips from Neve, Manley, API, and dozens more — giving you the same rich analog textures used on the greatest recordings of our time.

Right out of the box, Apollo x8p gives you the plug-ins used by the world’s best engineers. Get legendary Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, UA 610, Century, and LA-6176 tube channel strips, plus UAD guitar amps like Showtime ’64 and Lion ’68. Choose from a selection of upgrade bundles to tap into the entire UAD library of over 200 titles to unlock proven hit-making sounds.

Now in its Gen 2 design, Apollo x8p features our highest-resolution D/A converters ever. This enhanced monitoring, paired with features like Apollo Monitor Correction by Sonarworks,* means you’ll hear the most accurate representation of your recordings when mixing through monitors or headphones. *Requires SoundID Reference software and compatible measurement microphone.

Just like an analog studio, where a console is the heart of the workflow, Apollo x8p has a powerful digital mixing engine where you control plug-in routing and monitoring. And with the latest features like Auto-Gain, Bass Management, 7.1 Surround Sound, and Plug-In Scenes, it’s easy to find a flow that fits your needs.

Combine Apollo x8p’s HEXA Core DSP with native processing from your host computer to produce large sessions with complex plug-in chains — a powerhouse hybrid workflow that outpaces any native-only recording setup.

Build your studio by linking up to four Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces for up to 128 channels of premium I/O in your DAW, and control it all from your desktop using Apollo Twin or x4. So no matter how far your music takes you, an Apollo will always be in reach.**
