Does what it says on the box
Lydbølge 05.08.2022
I needed to move away from Avid interfaces and having already bought an Apollo twin a few years ago I felt this was the way to go. I have a number of analogue pre amps to plug into this unit and was amazed at the simplicity that these could be integrated. The expansion of Cues from 2 to 4 is a great asset and the sheer versatility of this unit puts many others to shame. Excellent all round

Impresive tho not a big fan
Barry Junius 19.01.2024
Not a big fan of apollo but I give a try for my setup because it has a dsp to run the UAD natively, that's a big plus. I'm a RME guy, but this apollo give some feautre that RME don't have. But overall if I have to choose, I'll go for RME big time!

But still this interface isimpresive.

X8 is a great choice!!!
Bruce W 25.10.2022
Unison plugins and great sound make this a fantastic choice as your studios centerpiece. Buying from Thomann also is a stellar experience. They will stay with you throughout the order process until you receive your merchandise. Order with confidence.

Heeft geen introductie nodig, klinkt echt geweldig..
GearSloth 17.10.2024
Het heeft echt alles wat je nodig hebt op vlak van sound en voldoende connectie mogelijkheden. Build quality is ook super professioneel. Je krijgt echt een studio sound voor een schappelijke prijs. Heel tevreden mee.
