Great interface
4 Stars
Great interface
I put off buying one of these for a while. I didn’t want to spend the money. I thought I could get the same sound from a Scarlett 4i4. I used the scarlet for a while, and truth be told it is a good interface. However, it is not in the same league of the Apollo twin. Not even close. After I received the Apollo twin, I did side-by-side comparison recordings, and there is a very audible and distinct quality difference between the two. Furthermore, the scarlet runs off USB bus power, and thus only has so much amplification, including for monitoring, before the sound gets distorted. The Apollo twin suffers from none of these problems. it is an incredibly high quality, audio interface, and given the quality of the materials, it is worth what they charge for it. Having said that, here are a few nits:My biggest gripe is that it didn’t come with a thunderbolt cable. I guess I should read the fine print. But at this price point, they should be including a cable. The unit is literally worthless without the cable. It’s like receiving your favorite toy on Christmas morning only to be told that it needs batteries and there are no batteries. Do better UA.It comes with “legacy” plug-ins. They are pretty good. Although at this price, I don’t know why they don’t give you a coupon to choose two or three free plug-ins. Unfortunately their plug-ins are a fortune.The big knob is slippery and the edges are sharp. There are no grooves for your fingers. They should smooth it and add some grooves.The on screen interface is not scalable. Buttons and text are tiny. you would think at this price point they would at least give you a screen interface that was legible.Their software package that you must install to use the unit is massive ant over 3 GB. This is because they include every single plug-in they sell. I know why they do this for marketing and sales, but it’s wrong to load all these plug-ins without giving the user the ability to uncheck them and not install them. It’s actually quite intrusive and totalitarian (ie not user friendly). Do better UA.You have to twist the power cord to “lock“ it into position where the unit won’t turn on. This is a good feature, however, they should make it well known because evidently many many people, including myself, couldn’t figure out how to turn the unit on, they could’ve saved themselves a lot of support requests by simply putting a little red tag or something on the line.The LED indicators on the unit are not high resolution. They barely move, regardless of whether the content you are playing is soft or loud. They should have a much higher resolution LED at this price point.There should be two headphone jacks, but there is only one.

Reviewed in Mexico on May 12, 2023
Yo vengo de utilizar una Focusrite Clarett 8 Pre desde hace 5 años y con esta Apollo Twin definitivamente cambia por completo el flujo de trabajo y la calidad de la captura de audio por sus Convertidores de mucho mejor calidad y circuitería pensada en emular de manera muy cuidada y casi idéntica a los equipos de gama alta que disten en Hardware. Los Plug-ins son algo costosos pero valdrán la pena cada centavo invertido en Universal Audio. La recomiendo si tienes el presupuesto para el subir de nivel en tu producción musical.

Reviewed in Canada on January 28, 2024
the unit is new, no issue with registration on Universal Audio Web. Confirmed never been used. however, the packaging is not brand new. the Crean-round tape on the sleeve seemed manually crafted on both sides. The inner tray has footmarks on four position. the power supply box was already opened and taped poorly. just a bit concerned it was used one. but all went well on the UA account. so technically it is an open-box-unused.
