Operating Your Apollo Twin X
The Apollo Twin X offers advanced features for professional audio production. Understanding its core functionalities will enhance your workflow.
Unison Preamps
The Unison technology allows the Apollo Twin X's mic preamps to emulate the impedance, gain stage 'sweet spots,' and component-level circuit behaviors of classic analog preamps. When you insert a Unison-enabled UAD plug-in into a mic input, the hardware preamp physically reconfigures itself to match the chosen emulation.

UAD Plug-ins
The Apollo Twin X leverages its onboard QUAD Core DSP to run UAD Powered Plug-Ins with near-zero latency. These plug-ins are authentic emulations of classic analog hardware from renowned manufacturers. You can use them for tracking, mixing, and mastering within your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).

Auto-Gain and Monitor Correction
The Auto-Gain feature simplifies setting input levels, allowing you to quickly optimize your signal without clipping. Apollo Monitor Correction, powered by Sonarworks, helps calibrate your monitoring environment, ensuring accurate and reliable mixes regardless of your room acoustics or headphone characteristics.
