Overview
HEXA Core DSP processing runs UAD plug-ins in real time on this Thunderbolt interface, alongside two Unison mic preamps and elite-class conversion. Auto-Gain and Monitor Correction help set levels and room response.
Producers who want the Apollo X sound and DSP power without a large channel count are the target, and surround support with bass management widens the monitoring options. The limitation is conflicting connection data, with Ethernet in the specs and Thunderbolt in the title.
Who it's for
Project studios and producers who work with UAD plug-ins and want surround output. Buyers who must know the exact dimensions, weight or connection before ordering should confirm them with the seller.
Pros and cons
- Two Unison mic preamps

- Auto-Gain for level setting
- Dimensions and weight not listed
- Connection listed two ways
Performance notes
HEXA Core DSP shifts plug-in processing onto the interface, so UAD effects run in real time without taxing the computer. Unison preamps pair with the plug-ins at the input. Monitor Correction adjusts the monitoring path for the room.
