“So, I think what I’m saying is, I like it. All of it, and I’m pretty sure you will too. So if you are looking for a new audio interface, and you want to get something that will allow you to record and mix without any sonic obstructions then you should check out the new Apollo X Gen 2 range at a pro audio dealer near you now. You really will be glad you did.” – Production Expert

 

“On the specifications front, I suspect that the previous generation was already well past the level where any flaws would be audible over typical studio monitoring systems, but the improvements place the Gen 2 models right at the head of the field, and I can certainly report that they sound great.” – Sound On Sound
