Technology for Stunning Mic and Guitar Preamp Emulations
Apollo Solo USB’s Unison technology gives you the tone, touch, and “feel” of the world’s
most sought-after preamps. These include the bundled UA 610-B Tube Preamp, plus
authentic mic preamp emulations from Neve

and API,

plus guitar amp emulations from

— complete with their signature impedance, gain stage “sweet
spots,” and component-level circuit behaviors.*
The secret to Unison is its hardware-software integration between Apollo Solo USB’s
mic preamps and its onboard UAD-2 processing. Simply place a Unison preamp plug-in
on your mic input in Apollo Solo USB’s Console software, and it physically reconfigures
Apollo Solo USB’s impedance and gain staging — giving you the classic tube and
transformer sounds of the world’s most recorded mic preamps and guitar amps.

Right out of the box, Apollo Solo USB 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.
