Is the Apollo worth $699?

At $699 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, you pay for Unison preamp modeling, low-latency tracking and the plug-in bundle. If you only need clean two-channel recording, cheaper interfaces do that for less.

How many inputs can I record at once?

Two analog inputs at a time: one mic/line preamp pair plus the front Hi-Z instrument input, with optical S/PDIF and AES/EBU adding digital channels. The unit supports up to 10 inputs and 6 outputs in total.

Does it work over USB or Thunderbolt?

Both are listed. Check that your computer and operating system support the connection you plan to use before buying.

What comes in the box?

The interface, a USB cable and the Realtime Analog Classics plug-in bundle. A Thunderbolt cable is not listed as included.

Can I use it without a computer?

No. It is a computer interface over USB or Thunderbolt and needs mains power, so it is not a standalone recorder.

Our take on the Apollo

The Apollo is a desktop USB/Thunderbolt audio interface with two Unison mic preamps, a front Hi-Z instrument input and dual TRS monitor outputs. It records at up to 24-bit/192 kHz and ships with the Realtime Analog Classics plug-in bundle, so you can track through modeled preamps and compressors with near-zero latency. Its metal housing and 1.5 kg build suit a fixed studio desk rather than a gig bag. The best new price is $699.00 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026, with three stores listing it new.
