Description
If you're looking to jump into the Apollo world with a setup that's fully loaded right out of the gate, this Universal Audio Apollo x4 Gen 2 with the Studio+ Bundle (Open Box) is a strong move. It's the same premium hardware - completely unused - but at a discount simply because the box was opened. Ideal for serious home studios or gigging engineers looking for a compact powerhouse, this version not only gives you UA's best desktop interface, but also upgrades you to the Studio+ plug-in bundle, packing over 50 premium UAD titles to cover mixing, mastering, tracking, and instrument tones.
At the core, you're getting four Unison-enabled preamps, top-tier 24-bit/192kHz conversion, and onboard DSP that lets you record and mix through UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency. The Thunderbolt 3 connection ensures fast, stable performance, and features like Auto-Gain, full monitor control, and Bass Management make day-to-day sessions easier and more consistent. With the Studio+ bundle, you're getting a much deeper plug-in library - more compressors, channel strips, tape machines, reverbs, and guitar tools, making this an especially great fit for users who want a well-rounded studio setup without having to go à la carte later.
We've worked with this exact setup here, and it handles everything from solo vocal production to complex multitrack mixing with ease. The unit itself is flawless; only the box has been opened, so you're getting like-new gear with a big head start on plug-ins and a nice bit of savings. It's a killer value for what you're getting, and more than enough to anchor a serious rig for years to come.
