Apollo Solo Manual Introducing Apollo Solo 10
A Full Suite of Classic Studio Processing Onboard
Right out of the box, Apollo Solo provides a suite of incredible analog emulation plug-ins
including the world’s only authentic Teletronix LA-2A and 1176LN compressors, Pultec
EQs, and much more. From the tube warmth of the Pultec EQ on guitars, to the gentle
limiting of the LA-2A on vocals, your recordings will take a giant leap forward in rich,
sonically complex analog sound.
Access the World of UAD Powered Plug-Ins
Beyond the included Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins, Apollo Solo lets you tap into
the full library of award-winning UAD Powered Plug-Ins — including vintage EQs,
Compressors, Reverbs, Tape Machines, Auto-Tune and more — in real time. With
exclusive emulations from Neve, Ampex, Lexicon, Fender, Antares, Moog, and more,* the
creative possibilities are nearly endless.
Vintage Guitar and Bass Amps
For guitarists and bassists, Apollo Solo includes Unison technology on its front panel
instrument input — giving you access to dead-on emulations of amps like the Fender®
‘55 Tweed Deluxe, Ampeg® B-15N Bass Amplifier, and the included Marshall® Plexi
Classic — all available at near-zero latency for songwriting and recording.
Create with a Fast, Natural Workflow in LUNA
Apollo Solo is the ideal entry point to LUNA, UA’s groundbreaking music production
application. Whether you’re exploring the analog sounds and workflow of Neve summing
and Studer tape Extensions or creating with inspiring LUNA Instruments like Moog
Minimoog and Ravel grand piano, LUNA transforms Apollo Solo into a fully-integrated
recording system.
Best-in-Class Headphone Amplifier
Apollo Solo’s onboard headphone output is louder and punchier, with lower noise
and flatter frequency response versus any interface in its class. This means you can
confidently track and mix using headphones, knowing you’re hearing every sonic detail.
Ready to Go
With its robust all-metal construction and bus-powered Thunderbolt 3 operation, Apollo
Solo is the only “clutter-free” portable audio interface that truly delivers album-quality
results. It’s like having a virtual analog studio that fits onto any desktop, and easily
travels in your laptop bag.
