10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 3 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Apollo Monitor Correction - optimise the acoustic performance of your monitors

Apollo Monitor Correction introduces powerful new features that elevate your studio monitoring experience. By integrating seamlessly with Sonarworks' SoundID Reference software, Apollo now provides precise speaker and headphone calibration directly through its onboard DSP. This means real-time correction without needing the SoundID Reference plug-in or app once your profiles are loaded onto Apollo.

With monitor correction, your room’s acoustic characteristics are measured using a microphone and the SoundID Reference Measure app, creating a profile that runs on Apollo's DSP for consistent accuracy. Headphone correction ensures a neutral listening experience by applying pre-calibrated profiles for over 500 popular headphone models. The target mode feature allows you to fine-tune your monitoring setup to match industry-standard references, including Flat Target, Dolby Atmos Music, and car audio environments, or create a custom target.

Please Note: This interface requires Apollo Monitor Correction Add-on and SoundID Reference licenses to use the Apollo Monitor Correction technology, available from sonarworks.com. For full compatibility information refer to help.uaudio.com

Immersive audio capabilities up to 9.1.6

Take your audio projects to a new dimension with Apollo x16’s support for formats up to 9.1.6, perfect for Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, and Sony 360 Reality Audio. This interface provides 16 channels of immersive audio, allowing you to create multi-dimensional mixes with precise spatial positioning. Whether you're producing for film, games, or modern music production, the Apollo x16 makes it easy to expand your audio into fully immersive experiences. With the UAD Console app, setting up surround cues is straightforward, giving you the flexibility to handle large projects right from your workstation.

Pristine audio quality with elite-class conversion

The Apollo x16 is built with Universal Audio’s finest converters, ensuring every detail of your audio is captured with a dynamic range of 133 dB and ultra-low distortion. Its Dual-Crystal Clocking provides ultra-low jitter, delivering stable and precise conversion at all sample rates up to 192 kHz. This results in highly transparent recordings with no unwanted colouration, suitable for mastering and critical listening environments. With this interface, you’ll hear your audio with astonishing clarity, making it easier to make the right decisions during production and mixing.

Comprehensive I/O for professional integration

Designed for professional studios, the Apollo x16 offers versatile DB-25 connections for 16 x 16 analog I/O, along with stereo AES I/O and word clock capabilities. This interface allows easy integration with outboard gear, patchbays, and consoles, making it a seamless fit for both new and existing setups. The Apollo x16 also supports +24 dBu headroom, providing ample space for high-level signals without distortion. With these connections, you can set up complex routing configurations, connect multiple speakers for immersive audio, and fully integrate your studio gear for a streamlined workflow.

Powered by HEXA Core DSP and 200+ premium plug-ins

The Apollo x16 features HEXA Core DSP, allowing you to process plug-ins in real-time without taxing your computer’s CPU. With the Ultimate+ Edition, you gain access to over 200 premium UAD plug-ins, including industry staples like the Teletronix LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec EQs, and modern tools like Auto-Tune and Capitol Chambers reverb. This DSP power enables you to record and monitor with effects applied, maintaining low latency and high performance even with large, complex sessions. This robust processing capacity helps you achieve polished, professional results from the recording phase through to the final mix.
