Universal Audio Apollo Twin Solo MkII, Thunderbolt

Overhauled Design

The Universal Audio Apollo Twin Solo MkII features a completely new design, with the next-generation Apollo A/D and D/A conversion revamped for improved dynamic range and ultra-low THD. The Apollo Twin Solo MkII, Thunderbolt includes an on-board real-time UAD DSP Processor, giving you immense processing power when it comes to plug-ins, allowing you to add studio-grade effects to your inputs on the fly. The 2x6 Thunderbolt configuration delivers unparalleled accuracy and depth when it comes to your recordings, retaining the natural harmonic qualities, while bringing out the best from your source material. This exceptional sonic accuracy can be found on hit recordings from Kendrick Lamar, Coldplay, and more.

Unison Mic Preamp Emulation Technology

Apollo Twin Solo MkII's Unison technology produces one of the most sought-after tones in the world, delivering the authentic analog warmth and sound normally reserved for tube and transformer-based microphone preamps. The attention to detail brings out the best from your recordings, utilising the signature impedance, gain staging, and component-level circuit behaviours to deliver the best possible audio performance on the market. The Unison technology lets you record at near-zero latency through a range of preamp emulations such as the UA 610-B Tube Preamp (included). The technology is also found on the front panel Hi-Z instrument input, providing the best impedance and gain matching for guitar and bass amp models from the most popular manufacturers.

Controls & Connectivity

The superior build quality and premium-grade components of the Twin Solo MkII audio interface makes it perfectly suited to any studio or home recording environment, with its compact design making it portable. The unit itself features 2 premium Unison mic/line preamps, as well as 2 line outputs, and a front-panel Hi-Z instrument input and headphone output. 2 digitally controlled analog monitor outputs provide full resolution sound at all listening levels, meaning you can hear every nuance even when listening at lower levels.

Optimised Workflow

The ergonomic layout of the Apollo Twin Solo MkII, Thunderbolt is designed to improve your overall workflow, and the monitoring functionality. New Mono, Mute, DIM and ALT monitor controls have been included, streamlining your monitoring process. A built-in talkback mic also allows you to communicate with your recording artists, allowing you to give them cues and other instructions on the fly. The unique scalability of UAD devices means you can combine up to 4 Apollo interfaces, and up to 6 UAD-2 devices in total, allowing you to expand your I/O and DSP to meet your needs. The wide range of studio-grade effects allow you to further improve your recordings, adding subtle overtones and compression as you require it.

Rode NT1-A Vocal Recording Pack

Ideal For Capturing Studio-Grade Vocals

The Rode NT1-A is a high-quality condenser microphone designed for capturing studio-grade vocal performances with immense detail. The NT1-A features a large 1-inch capsule with a gold-plate diaphragm, and a cardioid polar pattern. These premium-grade components ensure you get the best possible performance from your microphone, capturing every nuance of your vocals, and maintaining the tonal characteristics. The wide frequency response spans from 20Hz - 20kHz, ensuring you capture everything from the bass in your voice, to the high-end sparkle.

Ultra-Quiet Performance

One of the most unique and prominent features of the Rode NT1-A is the ultra-low-noise performance. The self-noise level of only 5dB makes it one of the quietest studio microphones available on the market. The low noise performance optimises your audio performance, with its minimal operating noise ensuring the best possible signal integrity and clarity.

Accessories

The pack is comprised of a shock mount, pop filter, dust cover, and 20 foot XLR cable. This provides you with everything you need to set up and produce professional-grade recordings. The studio-grade pop shield helps to minimise sibilance and plosive sounds, boosting your audio quality. The shock-mount helps to hold the microphone in place within the cradle, minimising any operational or handling noise while in use. The high-quality microphone cable is ideal for a range of spaces from studio to home recording setups.
