Apollo x4 Hardware Manual Introduction 6
Apollo: The Choice of New-School Professionals
Apollo is the confirmed choice of hit-making professionals, used to record landmark
albums by many famous artists. The Apollo range of interfaces has earned numerous
industry awards from Sound on Sound, Future Music, and Electronic Musician — as well
as the prestigious 2016 TEC Award for computer audio hardware.
Improved Monitoring and Built-In Talkback Mic
The Apollo x4 offers flexible monitor functionality — with Mute, DIM, Mono, and ALT
speaker switching. It also includes dedicated monitor remote controls and a built-in
Talkback mic for easy communication with talent and/or recording slate cues. These
features, combined with Apollo x4’s scalability, make it the standard for professional
desktop recording.
Build a Networked Studio
Apollo x4 offers up to 12 x 18 simultaneous input/output channels. Thanks to Apollo
Expanded software, users of any Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo audio interfaces can
combine up to four Apollos and six total UAD-2 devices — adding I/O and DSP as your
studio grows. Apollo x4 makes the perfect intelligent desktop controller for a full Apollo
system.
Now with Vintage Amps
Apollo x4 also includes Unison technology on its front panel instrument inputs, giving
you access to dead-on emulations of guitar and bass amps like the Fender ‘55 Tweed
Deluxe, Marshall Plexi Super Lead 1959, and the Ampeg B-15N Bass Amplifier.
A Sleek, Low-latency App
Console is Apollo x4’s software control interface. Its intuitive, analog console-style design
provides realtime tracking and monitoring with UAD Powered Plug-Ins, Channel Strip
presets, Drag & Drop functionality, dynamically resizable windows, and more.
