![]() The Twin MkII is also offered in both DUO/QUAD, but I still encourage you to stick with the dual-core unit. ![]() In other words, I don’t think one is better than the other. The Apollo Twin MkII sounds more “vintage” in my opinion while the Twin X sounds more “modern”. On the other hand, the Apollo Twin X ISN’T bus-powered, so it isn’t as portable as the Arrow.Īs we discussed in the previous section, the only real significant differences involve the preamps and AD/DA converters. However, I do recommend it for the minor enhancements pertaining to the preamps and AD/DA converters if you can appreciate that kind of thing. So, you’re only getting slight improvements if you decide to go with the Twin X vs Twin MkII. They can provide 127 dB of dynamic range compared to the 115/118 dB of the Apollo Twin MkII. I just don’t think the difference in price justifies the additional two cores.Īnother thing to consider about the Apollo Twin X is the enhanced AD/DA converters. Even if you feel that you’ll need more DSP down the road, you can always purchase one of the UAD Satellites. If you’re hesitating between the dual-core or quad-core model though, I highly suggest going with the DUO. Personally, I prefer the preamps on the Apollo Twin X because they provide more clarity. ![]() It just depends on your personal preference and whether or not your computer includes Thunderbolt 3 ports. However, the preamps aren’t necessarily better or worse. It’s completely bus-powered by the Thunderbolt 3 cable (sold separately).Īs I mentioned, the preamps are different according to most people and the colour is different. Regardless, the Universal Audio Arrow is the most portable audio interface with onboard DSP/Unison preamps. If that’s going to be a problem for you, then you can either consider another Universal Audio interface OR you can skip to the section on Universal Audio Satellites. Shockingly, you could probably host 2-3 plugins at the most without overloading the processor. The next question is, how many plugins do you use at once? ![]() That’s because most of us record one track at one time. The truth is most musicians/music producers would be more than satisfied with the Arrow. However, it really depends on what you’ll be using it for. The one complaint I always hear about the Arrow is its limited DSP. The question you need to ask yourself is if that’ll be a problem. If you’re wondering why the Universal Audio Arrow is priced so much lower than all their other audio interfaces… It’s because it only includes ONE single-core DSP processor. ![]()
