Apollo Solo is the world’s finest Thunderbolt 3-powered desktop recording audio interface for Mac and Windows, giving you class-leading audio conversion, two mic preamps — so you can record through preamps from Neve, API, SSL, and more — and a suite of included UAD plug-ins for recording album-quality results, with near-zero latency.
Record Synths and Vocals through Iconic Preamps
With its two Unison™ preamps and front panel Hi-Z instrument input, Apollo Solo USB is the only desktop interface that lets you track in realtime through preamps and channel strips from Neve, Manley, API, and dozens more, giving you the same rich analog texture as the hardware used on decades of iconic music.
Get the Pro Sounds of Analog Hardware, Right on your Desktop
Right out of the box, Apollo gives you album-ready tones in realtime with the included UA 610-B Tube Preamp & EQ, Fairchild and Teletronix LA-2A compressors, amps from Marshall and Ampeg, and more. But only Apollo lets you tap into the entire UAD plug-in library, giving you the proven hit-making sounds of Ocean Way Studios, Capitol Chambers, and hundreds more.
Create with a Best-in-Class Headphone Amplifier
Apollo Solo's onboard headphone output is louder and punchier, with lower noise and flatter frequency response versus any interface in its class. This means you can confidently track and mix using headphones, knowing you're hearing every sonic detail.
Record with a Fast, Natural Workflow using LUNA
Apollo Solo works with all major DAWs, but only LUNA Recording System gives you seamless integration with Apollo, for big analog studio sound — in realtime — using a host of built-in features and extensions from API console modeling to genuine Neve summing and integrated Studer tape.
Take Studio Sound On the Go
With its robust all-metal construction and bus-powered Thunderbolt 3 operation, Apollo Solo is the only "clutter-free" portable audio interface that truly delivers album-quality results. It’s like having a virtual analog studio that fits onto any desktop, and easily travels in your laptop bag.
