Universal Audio has launched the Apollo E series, two new peripherals for Dante‑networked audio systems and the Apollo x16D audio interface, aimed to bring UAD plug‑ins from studio to stage. The Apollo e1x Remote‑controllable Unison Preamp gives engineers Unison mic/line preamp sounds from API, Avalon, Manley, Neve, SSL and other brands when paired with an Apollo x16D audio interface. The Apollo e2m Stereo Headphone Amplifier and Line Interface puts stereo headphone monitoring and line level I/O anywhere on a Dante audio network. Both Apollo E series devices feature mic stand mounting for live, broadcast and networked studio use and are compatible with any Dante audio system.
The LP Black Box II Cajon is based on Latin Percussion’s LP Black Box Cajon. Upgraded, the Black Box II Cajon now offers an enhanced playing experience while sticking to its eco-friendly ethos and affordability. Retaining the MDF body, which gives it density and durability, it now boasts a Meranti soundboard for punchy, bright tones. Its two internal snares add crispness to the characteristic buzz, and an integrated bass port boosts projection during live performances.
