Great Experience
Apollo Twin has given me a new working experience. I love the clarity in the sound and hope to even explore more. The only feedback I can give for now is the heating up of the Apollo Twin I have. Does this happen to all Apollo Twins.

Was für ein Stück feine Hardware
Ich habe schon einiges an Audio Interfaces besessen, aber das Apollo Interface spielt in einer anderen Liga. Ich bin seitdem ebenfalls auf die "Luna" DAW gewechselt und habe einige Aufnahmen gemacht. Ja, es ist ein bisschen mehr Einarbeitung nötig, aber die lohnt sich wirklich. Die nahtlos eingebundenen UA Plugins begeistern ebenfalls. Ich kann das Interface ohne zu zögern empfehlen.

Honesty… Quality…. Transparency
I recently had what I thought was some issues with my Apollo twin. I received a ticket to send it in for repairing. As soon as I left the post office and returned home, I realized my error. I had plugged in the wrong adapter. I rushed back to the post office in attempt to stop the delivery. Well when I returned I was told I could not retrieve my package until the morning because a manger had to sign off. Well I returned the following morning only to find out they already sent it out. I was so frustrated. So I thought do I call UA or just let it play out. So I did just that. To my surprise I received an email essentially telling me after testing it was concluded nothing was wrong with my Apollo. I expected to pay the 200 dollars… I was charged 122. I say all this to say, I am so happy UA did not take advantage of me and I am really happy they are an upfront and an honest company. This means a lot to me and I really appreciate the UA Team…

Works great in the studio as additional inputs and remote, plus portable!
In the three weeks I've had this, it installed effortlessly into my system in my studio, and also effortlessly connected with my laptop as a portable unit. The quality is the same as my Apollo 8 Quad--works exactly the same. The sound is exactly the same, so what I hear in my headphones on the road is what I hear on my headphones in the studio. UA make excellent high quality gear, that is made for someone who works like I do.

Exceeded my expectations
I was expecting a great piece of gear. After using my Apollo Twin for a few days, I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional capabilities . The sound quality is excellent and the Unison functionality is incredible, producing next to real results.

Could be better
I love UAD Products and have owned them since the UAD-1 Card... The first twin had a Powersupply problem that seemed to crop up all the time... the powersupply would die or the connector was not robust enough for consistent use. Also these Twin units run hot. They just seem too hot for a piece of gear like this. Anyway, I own the plugins and I needed this unit to replace a Twin that died a second death after repair. Its my away device when I need something small to take on gigs when I can't pack my Apollo x8. Probably age of the gear, but i really wish they didnt break as often as they do.

broken down after six year
This sound card is very good but after six years of good operation it stopped on its own for no reason. I changed the power supply but nothing happened. For me, sorry but unreliable product

Been Around The Block
It is obvious by the curated choice of features and functionality that has been implemented by UAD into the portable form-factor of the Apollo Twin MkII, that they were designing an interface capable of satisfying the fundamental requirements that experienced engineers seek in an interface (and then some!).
In summary, the Apollo Twin MkII is a classic -- a marvel of engineering and design -- and a piece of HW that the engineering community won't forget.

Excelente
Me encanta esta interfaz, la calidad de mis grabaciones mejoraron un 100%, sonido super limpio, super potente y todo es facilita la mezcla, ahora mi tiempo para mezclar se ha reducido mucho debido a que puedo grabar con efectos en tiempo real y tengo que pocos ajustes en la mezcla. Excelente.

recording an album with the Apollo Twin / Luna software mixer and the UA plug ins
Over a few years I have had a singularly pleasant , at times exciting experience recording my new album with a "vintage" Apollo twin interface, UAD, and the free Luna mixer. Previously used a VS 2400 or a dat, or long ago the 880 so this was a Huge step up in many ways sonically. By not going thru patch bays, mixers etc the sound gains in dimension and accuracy. The preamps and converters are first rate so when I would do stereo acoustic guitar or percussion, with the right mic, it really shined with basically no latency issues. With the included Pultec type eq I learned how to remove low frequency artifacts. Flamenco guitar with stereo mics, external preamp eq, worked better than any studio I have used as long as the room is acoustically fine - it is that level of professional sound. What was also a pleasure is sometimes before a session I would load up a few new plug ins on trial and that would often make exciting audio surprises and really helped me color the music subtly and I found the tube emulations compression, and EQ plugs in very sweet and I actually learned a lot using them but not over using. Electric guitar direct and bass was really nice actually and surprised me -how could be shaped taking advantage of Manley and Neve eq and even the Ocean Way virtual sound subtly enhancing. To me the Apollo is the most important exciting studio invention years for the home recording musician/composer because of the preamps, the extensive plug in you can try, and the quality of the converters and Luna mixer.

Not even compatible with windows, ive been contacting thhe support for 2 months and they cant fix my problem....
C. Heusser
For me it's perfect
Perfect sound quality, the preamps make excellent recordings even with low-output microphones (MD441). 1 Knob, 8 switches - everything you need right on the device!

Simple the best
For almost 30 years with well-known brands, I have now arrived at the best interface so far in terms of haptics, sound quality and design.

Defective
I recently just purchased a brand new Apollo mk2 twin. It worked the first couple of days and now none of the buttons work except the volume knob. I can use the console only from my Mac mini and tech support won’t even respond

It is just another level!
I was finally able to get my hands on this unit after many years of knowing about it and after using many other brands of interfaces. Let me just say this... There is a reason why every other video reviewing a new brand of interface has to compare them to this unit. Once you hear it, it sets a new standard of sound quality. Also, the "ecosystem" (Console software) around this unit is extremely well thought out as well as design, and in my opinion, elevates the quality of this interface.
