- **Price:** £939.6 [^1]
- **Summary:** Apollo Twin X QUAD Gen 2 is a 10x6 Thunderbolt desktop audio interface with QUAD Core DSP for real-time UAD plug-in processing. It includes two Unison mic preamps, a Hi-Z instrument input, and optical Toslink (ADAT or S/PDIF) digital input, letting you record through DSP effects while monitoring. It's designed for musicians, producers, and project studios that want low-latency tracking and studio-quality conversion in a compact setup.
- **Ideal For:** It connects to computers over Thunderbolt 3 (UA lists the Thunderbolt host connection), but it does not list any MIDI connectivity (so it does not specifically provide MIDI plus USB connectivity as built-in features).
