Universal Audio Apollo e1x Remote-Controllable Unison Preamp with Dante

Universal Audio Apollo e1x Remote-Controllable Unison Preamp with Dante

The Universal Audio Apollo e1x is a single-channel, network-enabled mic/line preamp that brings the renowned “Unison™” preamp coloration of legendary API, Neve, Manley, SSL and other classic preamps to any location — stage, live rig, broadcast desk or multi-room studio. Built to integrate seamlessly over a Dante® or AES67 audio network (with PoE), the Apollo e1x can function stand‑alone or as an expansion to an existing Apollo x16D system. Perfect for live sound, remote recording, multi-room routing, or flexible studio configurations, the Apollo e1x gives you the freedom to place a high‑quality preamp wherever you need it — without bulky cabling or fixed analog racks.

With remote‑control over preamp parameters via the included UAD Console and network routing via Dante Controller, the e1x brings professional‑grade flexibility and legendary analog tone to modern, networked audio workflows
