Unison Technology

Thanks to the Apollo Solo Thunderbolt€™s Unison Technology, you get the tone, touch and feel of some of the most sought-after preamps. Including the UA-610-B Tube Preamp, as well as authentic mic preamp emulations from Neve and API, and guitar amp emulations from Fender and Marshall. With these emulations you€™ll get the signature impedance, gain stage €œsweet spots€� and component-level circuit behaviours.

The secret behind this technology is the hardware-software integration between the Apollo Solo€™s mic preamps and onboard UAD-2 Processing. Throw a Unison preamp plug-in onto your mic input and it will physically reconfigure the impedance and gain staging. So you€™ll have the classic tube and transformer sounds of the worlds most recorded mic preamps and guitar amps.
