For Networked Sound Venues and Recording Studios

Perfect for live sound venues and networked recording studios, the Universal Audio Apollo x16D Essentials+ is an 18×20 rackmount Thunderbolt 3 audio interface with Dante that gives you elite-class Apollo X 24-bit / 192 kHz audio conversion and HEXA Core Processing for real-time UAD plug-in processing over Thunderbolt and Dante at near-zero latency—on Mac and Windows computers. Apollo x16D Essentials+ let you mix and record live performances with 32 UAD plug-ins from Pultec EQ to Auto-Tune, classic LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and more. You can use Plug-In Scenes to recall settings instantly, even in the middle of a performance

With 16×16 simultaneous network audio I/O channels via Dante (or AES67 at 48 kHz), Apollo x16D lets you create 16-channel immersive audio mixes for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, Sony 360, Reality Audio, and others. If you want to grow to a multiroom setup, you can link up to four Apollo x16Ds to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy. Stereo AES I/O are also available for connection to professional, digital outboard hardware. The two Thunderbolt ports enable you to daisy-chain up to four Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo interfaces.

Take Elite-Class Apollo X Sound Onstage

Offering the most powerful system for running UAD plug-ins in real time, Apollo x16D is built for both live sound engineers and networked recording studios.
The interface seamlessly connects to your digital mixing console, putting 32 UAD plug-ins right at your fingertips (Ultimate+ Edition).

Work Fast and Never Lose Your Settings

With its powerful digital mixing engine giving you control over inputs, outputs, and plug-in routing, Apollo x16D makes it easy to build your mix and control entire effect chains in real time.
Then, quickly recall your plug-in settings over MIDI, all without interrupting the performance.

Expand Your Studio over Dante

Link up to four x16Ds to build a 64-channel Dante system with network redundancy.
Or, expand your current Thunderbolt Apollo studio over Dante—the most low-latency scalable audio network available.

Mix Down to Surround

After the show, bring Apollo x16D back to the studio, where it becomes your all-in-one monitoring hub for mixing formats up to 9.1.6.
This allows you to easily create 16-channel immersive audio mixes of live sets or studio recordings for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.
