Apollo Flies Solo

Universal Audio, a leading manufacturer of professional audio recording hardware and software, is proud to release Apollo Solo — a reimagined line of portable desktop audio interfaces for Mac and Windows users.

Unison technology gives Apollo Solo and Apollo Solo USB’s mic preamps the exact impedance characteristics and unique gain stage “sweet spots” of the world’s most sought-after tube and solid state preamps, guitar amps, and stompboxes, including genuine emulations from Neve, API, Avalon, SSL, Manley, and more.

Apollo Solo offers top-notch A/D and D/A conversion with Realtime UAD Solo Core processing, letting users track and mix with a full library of UAD Powered Plug‑Ins with near‑zero latency. Apollo Solo’s Thunderbolt 3 connectivity gives both Mac and Windows users a powerful and portable bus‑powered desktop recording solution.
