Universal Audio built Apollo x16 Gen 2 for pro engineers and producers who need highest-quality sound for the professional analog studio. With the widest dynamic range and lowest distortion available, Apollo x16 effortlessly interfaces with your analog equipment and patchbays with DB-25 connections, offering +24 dBu headroom, 16 x 18 A/D and D/A conversion, and stereo AES I/O.

Apollo x16 features UA’s highest-resolution A/D and D/A converters paired with multi-channel immersive Apollo Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks.® So you’ll not only hear the most pristine representation of your recordings, there will be no surprises when you listen to your final mix or master on any stereo or surround system. 
 
Mix Down to Surround
Apollo x16 supports mixing formats up to 9.1.6. This allows you to easily create 16‑channel immersive audio mixes for Dolby Atmos, Auro‑3D, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and others.
