Universal Audio Apollo e2m Stereo Headphone Amp and Line Interface with Dante

The Universal Audio Apollo e2m is a professional‑grade stereo headphone amplifier and line‑level interface designed specifically to integrate seamlessly into a Dante audio network. Compact yet powerful, the Apollo e2m provides both analog line I/O and high‑quality headphone monitoring — making it an ideal “endpoint” for studios, live stages, rehearsal spaces, broadcast facilities, or any venue where audio needs to be routed over Ethernet. With Power‑over‑Ethernet (PoE) powering, ultra‑low latency, and flexible input/output options, the Apollo e2m simplifies connectivity while delivering pristine audio quality and reliable monitor control across complex setups.

Key Features

• Dante‑network integration: 2×2 stereo headphone amp and line interface over Dante, turning analog sources into networked audio and allowing remote monitoring anywhere on the Dante network.
• Stereo analog line inputs: Accepts dual ¼‑inch (6.35 mm) TRS balanced/unbalanced line inputs — perfect for keyboards, synths, drum machines, amp emulators, samplers, playback devices or any line‑level gear.
• Flexible outputs: Two ¼‑inch line outputs plus stereo headphone outputs (both ¼‑inch and ⅛‑inch mini‑jack) — great for IEMs, studio headphones, powered monitors or wedges.
• Unified volume control + independent mutes: A single analog volume knob controls both line and headphone outputs, while separate mute switches let you cut either output independently — useful for live performances or cue mixing.
• PoE power & easy mounting: Powered over Ethernet (no separate power supply needed), consuming ~7 W (5 W typical), and built-in 5/8″ threaded mic-stand mount enables flexible placement on stage or in studio environments.
• High‑fidelity audio conversion: Professional-grade analog-to-digital conversion ensures pristine audio quality for line inputs and outputs.
• Low‑latency performance: Configurable latency of 1 ms, 2 ms, or 5 ms (set via Dante Controller), which supports real-time monitoring — crucial for live performance, recording, and mixing.
• Wide sample-rate support + AES67 compatibility: Supports sample rates from 44.1 kHz up to 96 kHz. AES67 compatibility at 48 kHz offers broader interoperability with other networked audio systems.
