What is Apollo E Series?


The Apollo E Series consists of versatile networked audio “endpoints” that expand your Apollo x16D interface or any Dante-enabled system. This series includes:

  • Apollo e1x – A single-channel mic/line preamp with Unison preamp modeling for capturing the sound of legendary consoles from API, Neve, Manley, SSL, and more.
  • Apollo e2m – A stereo headphone amplifier and line interface, ideal for personal monitoring and I/O expansion on your Dante network.

Both devices operate using Power over Ethernet (PoE), reducing cable clutter while ensuring high-quality audio performance anywhere on the network.
