If you're familiar with the Apollo 8, you already know that this is a phenomenal piece!  I'm selling the DUO version that's in the picture and not the QUAD.  I happen to own the Apollo TWIN MKii as well and I've determined that I don't need the DUO.  I purchased this unit in Dec of 2016 and I've never had sessions big enough that I needed the extra inputs.  A lot of what I use is connected digitally so my TWIN and the Apollo 8 Quad handles everything quite nicely.  As you can see, I had racked the unit, however, I use protective washers to make sure that I don't create any rack rash.  The unit is in perfect condition!  WINNING BIDDER MUST create a free Universal Audio user account if you don't have one already and provide the account ID and email address so that I can transfer ownership to you. This will give you the base plugins that come with the unit. All shipping documents and packaging along with boxes are included.  I'm also throwing in a Thunderbolt cable because you'll need it and it doesn't ship with one!  I've priced this unit for a quick sale so jump on it!!!Now for the rules.... Do NOT contact me about purchasing outside of eBay! I WILL NOT ship to any address outside of the United States. If you have limited buyer feedback or disproportionate negative feedback, I reserve the right to cancel your bid or winning bid.  I only take PayPal for payment.  If your payment is not received within 6 hours, I will cancel your winning bid and relist!! I WILL ONLY ship to your VERIFIED PAYPAL address! No exceptions!!! For your protection, I've been an eBay member since 2001 and I'm eBay verified as well! I have perfect feedback and I ship quickly!!!Tech SpecsComputer Connectivity 2 x ThunderboltForm Factor RackmountSimultaneous I/O 18 x 24A/D Resolution 24-bit/192kHzBuilt In DSP/FX YesAnalog Inputs 4 x XLR-1/4" combo, 4 x 1/4" (line), 2 x 1/4" (Hi-Z)Analog Outputs 2 x 1/4" (monitor), 4 x 1/4" (line out), 4 x 1/4" (line/alt out), 2 x 1/4" (headphones)Digital Inputs 1 x Coax (S/PDIF), 2 x Optical Toslink (ADAT)Digital Outputs 1 x Coax (S/PDIF), 2 x Optical Toslink (ADAT)Number of Preamps 4 x mic, 2 x instrumentPhantom Power YesClock I/O In/OutOS Requirements - Mac OS X 10.9 or laterOS Requirements - PC Windows 10 (Anniversary update or later)Rack Spaces 1UDepth 13.5" (including knobs & jacks)Width 19"Height 1.75"Weight 9.1 lbs.Manufacturer Part Number APD8DUniversal Audio Apollo 8 DUO Thunderbolt Audio Interface Features:18-in/24-out Thunderbolt 2 audio interface for Mac or PC, with onboard UAD-2 DUO processingOnboard UAD-2 DUO Core DSP provides real-time UAD processing you can use for recording4 Unison-enabled microphone preamps work with select UAD plug-ins to emulate popular hardwareNext-gen digital converters provide pristine sound and superior stereo imagingFront-panel monitoring functions include alt speaker selection, dim, and mono togglingThunderbolt 2 connectivity provides high bandwidth I/O with under 2ms of latencyApollo Expanded and Console 2.0 let you cascade up to 4 Apollo interfaces and 6 total UAD devicesReal-time Analog Classics Plus UAD plug-in bundle included, featuring 8 amazing plug-in emulationsIncluded UAD-2 Plug-ins:UA 610-BUA 1176LN LegacyUA 1176SE LegacyPultec EQP-1A LegacyPultec-Pro LegacyTeletronix LA-2A LegacyFairchild 670 LegacyPrecision Enhancer HzRaw DistortionSoftube Amp Room Half-Stack (Softube Amp Room Essentials)Softube Bass Amp Room 8x10 (Softube Amp Room Essentials)Precision Channel Strip (Precision Mix Rack Collection)Precision Reflection Engine (Precision Mix Rack Collection)Precision Delay Mod (Precision Mix Rack Collection)Precision Delay Mod L (Precision Mix Rack Collection)RealVerb ProSecond-gen signal path delivers superior sound qualityFor many of us who first picked up an Apollo audio interface for the onboard UAD-2 processing, the impressive sound quality was a seriously nice bonus.
