Universal Audio Apollo Solo USB Heritage Edition Audio Interface Review

Universal Audio Apollo Solo USB Heritage Edition Audio Interface

Feb 23, 2021

Reviewed by David H. on Guitar Center

I swapped out the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 in my home studio for this and the difference is unreal. It's not on the level of the Antelope Orion 32 in my band's studio but for the price I paid the upgrade is significant. I think the biggest differences are in the Unison pre-amp, which is an unbelievable technology from UA, and their added dynamic range. The single SHARC processor in this bad boy runs the included UAD plug-ins, which are right up there with my Softubes stuff, in real-time during tracking. Awesome. I maybe should have went with the duo version, which has two SHARCs in it and can run more plug-ins at a time, but so far I've managed. The controls are intuitive. I figured everything out without touching the manual. It does make little clicking sounds at times which, after looking into it, are normal. It's only USB 3.0, with a maximum bitrate of 5Mb/s which is well under Thunderbolt, let alone TB3, but it's not going to matter with audio tracking. If you plan on mixing a lot of tracks at once consider a duo/quad and thunderbolt 3 (if you can.) ... More

Loving it so far!

This audio interface replaced my Universal Audio Volt 2, which was a great interface, but I wanted a little more. This along with the bundled software and plug-ins has been a game changer for me. Once I get a little more comfortable with the UA experience, I'll likely be stepping up to an Apollo Twin.

Big upgrade over cheaper units

I do a fair amount of recording and this unit is a substantial upgrade over the Focusrite Solo, which is also quite good. The Unison preamp in this thing, running a UA channel strip in DSP, just sounds really warm and analog without surrendering any detail. I don't know if I'll get the extra $200 in value out of the plugins that come with the Heritage Edition but with the superb quality of the UA stuff running in DSP, I was willing to spend the extra money and I'm not disappointed.

Sweet lil Interface

2nd part of review. Nice, works great! Clean pre's for small unit. Took a lil head scratching and clicking here and there for latency issues. But now all good. Seller sold a great piece of equipment. Thank you!
