IMPROVED CONVERSION FOR THE APOLLO X16

nUniversal Audio has improved the Apollo interfaces conversion capabilities for the launch of the Apollo X line. For the Apollo x16, the engineering team at Universal Audio paired together 24-bit/192 kHz converters with new analog circuitry to offer best-in-class conversion with 133 dB dynamic range and THD N of -129 dB
