With two Unison mic preamps and HEXA Core DSP, you'll experience classic analog tones and access to UA's library of over 200 plug-ins. The Apollo x6 is ideal for home studios and project studios that need professional-quality sound without extra analog inputs.</p> <h3>Hear Pristine Audio Conversion</h3> <p>The Apollo x6 features enhanced 24-bit/192kHz audio conversion with an astonishing 130dB dynamic range for transparent recordings. When you monitor and playback through the Apollo x6, you'll hear your audio with stunning clarity and depth. There are no surprises when you listen on other systems—you can trust that what you hear is an accurate representation of your recordings.</p> <h3>Shape Your Tone With Classic Gear</h3> <p>The Apollo x6 provides analog processing power with its HEXA Core UAD-2 plug-in processing. You'll have access to compressors like the UA 1176 and Teletronix LA-2A, EQs from Pultec and Neve, guitar amps and more. With the Essentials+ or Studio+ plug-in bundles, you'll get highly coveted titles from Auto-Tune, Empirical Labs, Lexicon, Neve and others to craft studio-quality tone.</p> <h3>Find Inspiration With Vintage Keys and Synths</h3> <p>Along with the authentic analog gear, the Apollo x6 provides vintage keyboard and synthesizer plug-ins. Rediscover the iconic sounds of the Minimoog, ARP 2600, Mellotron and Wurlitzer. These detailed software emulations let you infuse your productions with retro flavor. Whether you need a shimmering pad, pulsing arpeggio or percussive clavinet part, the Apollo x6 has you covered.</p> <h3>Customize Your Workflow</h3> <p>The Apollo x6 integrates tightly with Universal Audio's Console application, giving you an intuitive way to customize your workflow. Quickly set up low-latency monitoring, save plug-in chains as channel strips, switch between monitor pairs and more. Console provides an easy way to organize multiple Apollo interfaces so you can continue expanding your studio setup.</p> </font>", "value":"2,463.12", "priceMin":"2,463.12", "priceMax":"2,799.00", "priceSavingsMaxPrice":"0.00", "priceSavingsMaxPercent":"22", "inventory":"43", "brand":"Universal Audio", "reviewStarImageUrl": "https://static.musiciansfriend.com/img/brand/mf/cmn/Sprit-Sm-Stars.png", "reviewStarRating":"0.0", "reviewStarRatingInteger":"0", "reviewHowManyReviews":"0", "usedOrNew":"used", "discontinued":"0", "onOrder":"0", "clearance":"0", "canBeSold":"1", "accessoryCategories":"", "stickerText": ""}

^ A promo fee, equal to 2% of the amount financed at time of purchase, will be shown as a separate transaction on your billing statement and included in the balance subject to this promo. Any taxes, delivery or other charges included in the amount financed will increase the related promo fee and the required monthly payment. The estimated monthly payment shown (excluding taxes and delivery) equals the amount financed (including related promo fee) divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make your payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed (including related promo fee) within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this monthly payment will be added to the minimum payment applicable to those balances.
