(Gone are the days of interface companies catering just to Apple – the press kit even came with shots both of a MacBook Pro and a Razer Blade, my respective favorite high-end Mac and Windows choices.) And there are two mic preamps.īut it’s sleeker, prettier, more portable, and it runs on bus powered Thunderbolt 3 on both Mac and Windows.
It’s still 2×4 like the Apollo Twin – so you can have a separate monitor mix. So, the Arrow starts to look really smart as an entry level device. And it’s portable, but not quite throw-it-in-a-laptop portable – especially once you figure in that power brick. The Apollo Twin is good enough, in fact, that you can almost recommend it just for its audio interface capabilities – not only as a gateway into the catalog of UAD studio effects and sound processors and the like.īut the Apollo Twin still represents some outlay of cash. And it’s been steadily reaching more and more people, with the smaller Twin bringing the price down, and Windows support following Mac. The Apollo line boasts high-end converters and audio circuitry and rock-solid performance. While the company may have gotten started selling pricey high-end DSP cards for their platform of vintage gear emulations and sound tools, starting with Apollo, they also happened to make one of the best audio interfaces. Here’s the thing: if someone asks you the age-old question “which audio interface should I buy,” it’s actually pretty hard not to mention Universal Audio. Universal Audio just brought their DSP platform – and top-notch audio interface tech – to a box that’s Thunderbolt, bus-powered, and under US$500.
