Best Piece of Gear I Own!
The Apollo Twins is everything I could ask for in a small audio interface !

Great device!

A great interface with Unision Pres
Good day. I'm owing Apollo DUO MK II and I can say It's a perfect interface for the recording in the project studio. Convertors and preamps in the base are very good, but you always can use Unison technology for direct recording via Neve 1073 for example. And I can say that the quality of emulation is very very nice.
This interface has a 2 Shark processors and it's enough for recording but not enough for track-mixing. New plugins are very hungry))) I'm mixing songs in a pop/rock style with live drums ad other live instruments (about 20-30 tracks on each project) and I have also UAD Octo and I can say I need 4 Shark processors else (I use UAD plugins almost 80-90% on my tracks).
Finish: very nice hi quality interface for recording, but not for mixing with UAD plugs.

Apollo Twin MkII duo
Compact small size with all you need to go features..(would be better to buy the quad for more horsepower ) nice and clean preamps, a bit hollow body sounded when flat- for my taste- but with the unison enabled pre amps plugins on the dsp for tracking is so sweet..!
Simple, easy to handle but detailed mixer interface, with very cool possibilities for tracking low latency and process. monitoring, Aux section. you can record both with process nor without.
You can get to the Smooth sound up to characteristic sound.
great communication with MacBook Pro \ Logic x Pro.
Nice monitoring section a sweet big knob.
what a great buy to go anywhere with my MacBook
and the plugins...What can I say .. The plugins ... so awesome !
got to add an octo to my studio for mixing on my pc as well.

Perfect
All in one home studio starter kit!

Clean
Very clean although a bit limited on the dsp side. One of the best interfaces out there for sure though

Please give plugins an assembly of 3 plugins, very few plug-ins hahahaha

Portable workhorse
I switched from Apollo 8 Quad to Apollo Twin Quad and I'm quite happy since I can use the same DSP power in a portable solution. The overall interface looks robust and well designed. My Macbook Pro has only one Thunderbolt port, so a second TB port in the interface would have been a good solution for chaining other devices, such a monitor, without the need use a TB dock.

A revolution
Now that I went from Saffire to Apollo Twin, I truly feel I can record professionaly my next album in my own basement (of course with proper acoustic treatment and good microphones)! The converters, the preamp and the Unisson plugins are simply amazing. Added to that the pleasure to record with the builtin monitoring system, without latency. I'm happy. :)

Apollo Twin duo MKII
Apollo Twin duo MKII is the best complement to my old Apollo 8. Easier vor life performance and more power in studio.

A major upgrade
I am mixing a singer/songwriter album, and I have been so impressed with my Apollo Twin QUAD. I use Logic for my DAW. Basic tracks were recorded remotely through a Behringer X-Air rack. Running the session through the Apollo revealed detail and depth that were masked on my old Apogee converters. The UAD plugins are a game-changer for my home studio. I'm excited to explore more this summer.

Now it sounds Pro!
For me it was the perfect time to switch to UA-Family. With the Apollo twin MKII Quad I can record and mix like a pro. UA-Plugins and my Apollo twin let me enter the Pro-Stage. Thanx UA And Kind regards from Germany Andy

Great piece of equipment as always, but...
The power supply leaves a little to be desired. A few times the unit has powered down after feeling very securely plugged and operational (and not moving at all). Not sure why UA went for wall wart style with a standard 9v plug (apart from saving space on the rear of the unit) when the UAD Satellite has a 5 pin input with IEC from mains to transformer...

Brilliant small interface
Being an owner of an apollo 8 also, the apollo twin was an easy step forward for me. However some things are a bit of an inconvenience. I had to buy a new thunderbolt hub, because the apollo twin only has 1 thunderbolt output, and i thought that it was possible to daisy chain that interface, the same way as the larger ones. That together with the high price of the Quad version, makes it a bit hard to give this product 5 stars, even though it deserves it

I just went from my old Presonus Audiobox to this. No comparison in audio quality alone. I cannot stress this point enough. Also, I've barely messed with a couple plugins so far and the quality seems to be so far above and beyond what I am using in Studio One 3 Professional. I really like the fact that I can use two pairs of monitors and just hit a button on the unit to switch between them. The converters are really good as well thank goodness! I really haven't had enough time to truly dig deep into this to give it a full blown customer review but it's already made a giant differnce in my music world.

It's ok
Wish it had a separate headphone control , the unit also runs hot and the plugins that come with the unit, 'not the demo stuff' could be much better. I guess it's a clever marketing move to get you into buying more. On a different note, customer service was really good when my mkii had an issue.

Nice improvements
I got this upgrade for just the talkback mic. There are some other nice features, especially the layout of the front panel!
M. Knutsson
Great all in one solution!
Perfect all in one solution with the added talkback! Great quality. Only one issue, it gets really hot.

A new heart for my system
I'm coming from an Apogee Symphony and was looking for a traveling rig that is portable and professional. I've been blown away with how good my new Apollo Twin quad both performs and sounds! Not only do I get to finally enter the world of UA plugins..but I'm currently using my Apollo both at home (in place of symphony) and on the road! Thank you UA. Finally a company and product that lives up to the hype.

Excellent audio and construction quality
Probably the best in this category, everything sounds better through it, you plug in, turn it on and it's done, very easy to use and excellent sound quality!!
