Introducing Apollo E Series with Dante®

Bringing authentic UAD sound from studio to stage.

Introducing the Apollo E Series, two new peripherals for the Apollo x16D that allow you to take UAD DSP plug-ins directly from studio to stage using Dante audio networking.

The Apollo E Series includes the Apollo e1x Remote-controlled Unison™ Preamp and the Apollo e2m Stereo Headphone Amp and Line Interface, both of which feature Dante connections and mic stand mounts for live, broadcast, and networked studio use.

The Apollo e1x gives you the sound of Unison mic preamp emulations from API, Avalon, Manley, Neve, SSL, and more using an Apollo x16D audio interface. The Apollo e2m puts stereo headphone monitoring and line level I/O anywhere on your Dante network, using svelte Cat 5e Ethernet cables, for maximum fidelity and flexibility.

Powered by the Apollo x16D, UAD DSP processing lets engineers mix with genuine UAD plug-ins like Antares Auto-Tune, EL8 Distressor, Lexicon reverbs, and more in realtime on stage or in the studio.

Both E Series peripherals offer convenient network “endpoints” in any Dante system, with or without Apollo x16D.

Apollo Networked Audio - from Studio to Stage

The Apollo x16D interface forms the centerpiece of a distributed network audio solution over Dante, with convenient mic stand mounted PoE “endpoints” when combined with Apollo e1x and Apollo e2m.

Combine Apollo e1x and e2m peripherals with a PoE-capable network switch (available separately) and scale your studio or on-stage setup from just a few inputs and outputs to 64 channels across four Apollo x16D interfaces — or add even more over a third-party Dante network — with all routing handled by Audinate’s Dante Controller.

Check out these helpful use case examples to see how Apollo Networked Audio can assist in your journey to bring full spectrum sound from studio to stage.
