Take Elite-Class Audio on Stage

Built for live sound engineers and recording studios alike, the Apollo X16D features 16 channels of Dante I/O and HEXA Core DSP, the world's most powerful system for running UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency. It connects seamlessly to your digital console, providing access to premium emulations of Neve, API and SSL gear, plus vintage compressors like the LA-2A and 1176. With the Apollo X16D, you can bring high-end studio sound to the biggest venues.

Work Fast and Never Lose Your Settings

The Apollo X16D's mixing engine provides comprehensive control over inputs, outputs and routing, enabling you to quickly build mixes and entire effects chains. You can then save and recall plug-in settings, presets and routing configurations over MIDI at any time during a performance without interruption. This powerful functionality means you'll always have the right tone or effect at your fingertips.

Hundreds of Plug-ins in a Single Rack Space

The Apollo X16D Ultimate+ plug-in bundle provides a generous suite of UAD plug-ins. You'll have everything from vintage LA-2A and 1176 compressors to Neve channel strips, reverb from Capitol Studios and modern essentials like Auto-Tune. With the Ultimate+ bundle, you'll have over 100 plug-ins worth thousands of dollars, all in a single rack unit.

Expand Your Studio Over Dante

You can link up to four Apollo X16D units to create a 64-channel Dante system with redundancy. The Apollo X16D is also compatible with Thunderbolt Apollo interfaces, allowing you to expand your current setup over Dante, the industry's most scalable and low-latency audio network. Whether you want to switch to a networked recording studio or simply extend your current setup to more spaces, the Apollo X16D provides an easy way to grow without starting over.
