Podcastage | Universal Audio Twin X Audio Interface Review / Explained @Podcastage | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the Universal Audio Twin X Duo. This is a Thunderbolt 3 audio interface with ADAT/SPDIF expansion, two preamps with 65dB of gain, and DSP processing with near 0 latency. You get some great converters and you can record up to 24-bit 192kHz. This thing is an absolute beast if you are a Mac user.
