Review: Frustrating to Install, Here's How it Worked For Me - I returned the first one because it takes UAD at least 1 business day to reply. Plus, what's so frustrating is I'm following their instructions to the letter; and I researched the install procedures and guidelines BEFORE I purchased the Apollo (and the Volt). At first, the Apollo would not work via USB; I tried two Intel certified cables and returned it after speaking with tech support. Then, frustrated, I returned the first Apollo and purchased a UAD Volt; this time the UAD Software would not recognize the Volt no matter what cable I used. I returned that and purchased a Scarlett Solo that WORKED out the box. Determined to make this work, I purchased a UAD Apollo again! Wow! This is so frustrating! I purchased new USB-C Cables through Anker and Belkin that support high speed USB 3.0 and more. The Belkin cable is Thunderbolt 4 certified as well! The Apollo was not recognized by Windows 11. Yes, I did a clean install of Windows! I wanted to break the Apollo! I'm serious! Terrible experience! I then tried the Anker USB-C to USB-A cables; that worked as far as installing the software. After I rebooted the computer the UAD Console software launched. BUT WINDOWS would not recognize the Apollo. The Console software would not recognize the Apollo. I kept getting USB errors from UAD software. I then tried two other confirmed USB-C to USB-A cables. Still did not work! To recap, at this point, I used the Anker USB-C to USB-A cables to install the software; for some reason, that worked— it's as if there was a partial recognition of the Apollo. Then I had this crazy idea...."Why don't you try the Belkin USB-C to USB-C cable (Thunderbolt 4) again." I plugged the cable in a 5th time....and it WORKED! WOW!!!!!! What the hay man!? When this thing (Apollo) actually works.... it's beautiful. It was worth the frustration to get it to work. It's sad that a company that makes a product this good can't get it to install properly and their support takes ONE BUSINESS DAY to reply. Hope this helps someone. Review: Completely transformed my desktop audio setup - I bought the Apollo Solo USB for my Windows PC setup, and honestly, this thing is incredible. I’m using it with Yamaha HS5 studio monitors, Sennheiser headphones, a Shure XLR dynamic mic, and Mogami TRS-to-XLR cables from the Apollo to the speakers. The difference was immediate. My speakers completely came to life, way cleaner, fuller, and more detailed than before. The headphone output also sounds fantastic and has plenty of power. Everything feels tighter and more controlled, especially compared to running audio straight from a PC or a basic DAC/amp setup. The build quality feels premium, the volume knob is smooth, and having one clean interface for my speakers, headphones, and XLR mic is exactly what I wanted. The onboard controls are simple once you understand them, and it makes the whole desk setup feel much more professional. Overall, this was a huge upgrade. If you’re using real studio monitors, good headphones, and an XLR mic, the Apollo Solo USB is absolutely worth it. ## Features - A special edition of UA's popular Apollo Solo USB interface — with a premium suite of 5 award-winning plug-in titles from Teletronix, Pultec, and UA — a $1,300 value - UAD SOLO Core Processing for tracking through vintage compressors, EQs, tape machines, mic preamps, and guitar amp plug-ins with near-zero latency - Unison mic preamp and guitar amp emulations from Neve, API, Avalon, Manley, Marshall, Fender, and more - Runs UAD Powered Plug-Ins via VST, AU, and AAX 64 formats in major DAWs - Compatible with Pro Tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, and more (not compatible with LUNA Recording System) - Best-in-class headphone amplifier for loud, detailed, low-noise monitoring - Uncompromising analog design, superior components, and premium build quality - Free, industry-leading technical support — on the phone and online — from knowledgeable audio engineers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08NYL1J34 | | Audio Input | USB | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,108 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #56 in Computer Recording Audio Interfaces | | Brand | Universal Audio | | Brand Name | Universal Audio | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 167 Reviews | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9"D x 9"W x 6"H | | Item Type Name | Audio Interface | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Universal Audio | | Manufacturer Part Number | APLSU-HE | | Maximum Sample Rate | 192 KHz | | Model Number | APLSU-HE | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operating System | Not Included | | Product Dimensions | 9"D x 9"W x 6"H | | Supported Software | Avid Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Steinberg Cubase | | UPC | 819937003158 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Universal Audio - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Number of Channels:** 2 - **Supported Software:** Avid Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Steinberg Cubase ## Images ![Universal Audio Apollo Solo USB Heritage Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NHlRWIYvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: The interface include's Luna?** A: Yes, for Mac users. **Q: What UAD plugins does it include itself?** A: Nothing great but it captures sound beautifully so any plugins you have will work on the audio. **Q: Will it work with my pc processor? and how can i know my pc has thunderbolt 3 usb 3.0 ports? processor: amd ryzen 5 3600 processor (6x 3.6ghz/32mb l3** A: Best to open a ticket with Support for the definitive answers.
