About this model

Covers the mk1 and mk2 Apollo Twin. The Twin X is a different, higher-priced model. The number of DSP chips (Solo, Duo or Quad) also affects the price.

Ask which plug-ins are registered to the unit, since they transfer with it and add real value. Check it connects on your computer (Thunderbolt or USB, depending on the version).

What to check before you buy

Both inputs with a mic and a guitar
Phantom power
Headphone out and monitor out
USB port not loose
Check generation on the underside label

Questions people ask about this model

Solo, Duo or Quad: does it matter?

Yes. More DSP chips run more UA plug-ins at once, so a Quad sells for more than a Duo, and a Duo more than a Solo. It is printed on the unit.

Will it work on my computer?

Check the connection first. Most Apollo Twins use Thunderbolt, and some use USB for Windows. An older Thunderbolt 2 unit needs an adapter on a modern Mac.

What should I test on a used Universal Audio Apollo Twin?

Both mic inputs, the front instrument input, the monitor knob and the headphone output, and that it shows up in UA's software. Ask the seller to confirm it can be moved to your UA account.

Selling one on

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is the most liquid piece of gear on the planet. Universal Audio, RME, Audient hold value. Generation matters (3rd/4th gen Scarlett vs 1st/2nd).

Small, ships easily - eBay is a good exit.
