Universal Audio releases Apollo Twin X USB Audio Interface

Universal Audio has released Apollo Twin X USB. Featuring elite-class A/D and D/A conversion inherited directly from the Apollo X rackmount interfaces, and USB 3 connectivity for Windows, Apollo Twin X USB is designed to be a potent sonic update to the world's most popular professional desktop audio interface. Here's what they say:

Available in UAD-2 Duo Core format for running acclaimed UAD plug-ins in real time, this 10x6 USB 3 audio interface improves upon the original Apollo Twin's gold-standard audio quality with completely redesigned A/D and D/A conversion — giving recordists increased dynamic range and ultra-low THD.

Apollo Twin X USB gives Windows-based musicians and producers elite-class audio conversion with the tone, feel, and flow of analog recording. Letting you record through preamps from Neve, API, Manley, and more — with near-zero latency — Apollo Twin X USB is born to make records.
