Arrow is the world's first desktop audio recording interface for Mac and Windows powered by the Thunderbolt 3 port. It includes high-end audio converters, two Unison™ mic preamps and a suite of UAD plug-ins for studio-quality results.
The sound of this compact 2x4 interface outperforms all models in its class thanks to the famous UA converters derived from the flagship Apollo series of audio interfaces. And with its Unison technology and built-in UAD-2 Solo Core processor, you can record through classic audio tools, including the UA 610-B Equalizer and Tube Preamp, the LA-2A and 1176 compressors, or still the authentic emulation of the Marshall Plexi amp - all with almost zero latency, regardless of the buffer setting of your audio software.
YOU CAN NOW:
Record using high-end A/D and D/A converters - the same ones used to create hundreds of hits
Record with near-zero latency through mic preamp and guitar amp emulations from Neve®, API®, Marshall®, Fender® and more, thanks to Unison™ technology•
Mix with included UAD plug-ins, including Teletronix® LA-2A and 1176 compressors, Pultec® EQs, and more.
Create music wherever you go with a rugged, all-metal interface with superior sound quality and powered by Thunderbolt 3
The Unison technology that equips the Arrow interface allows you to enjoy the sound and feel of the most popular preamps in the world, including the 610-B Tube Preamp, authentic emulations of mic preamps from Neve® and API®, but also simulations of guitar amps from Fender® and Marshall® - with their own impedance, gain stage "sweet spot" and circuit behavior. •
The secret of Unison technology lies in its hardware/software integration between the Arrow's mic preamps and the integrated UAD-2 SOLO Core processor. Simply place a Unison preamp plug-in on the mic input in the Arrow Software Console, and it automatically reconfigures the interface's physical impedance and gain stage - so you get the classic sound of the most recorded tube mic preamps and transformers, and guitar amps in history.
Arrow comes with an exceptional suite of software emulations of analog devices, including the Teletronix LA-2A, 1176LN, Pultec Equalizers and the UA 610-B Tube Preamp featuring Unison technology. These Realtime Analog Classics plug-ins were developed by UA's renowned team of developer engineers. They are placed as references for all other hardware emulations.
From the tube warmth of Pultec EQs on guitars to the subtle limiter of the LA-2A on vocals, your recordings will take a giant leap in analog richness and complexity.
Vintage Guitar and Bass Amplifiers
For guitarists and bassists, the instrument input located on the front of the Arrow incorporates Unison technology. This gives you access to the best amp emulations such as the Fender® '55 Tweed Deluxe, the Ampeg® B-15N bass amp and the included Marshall® Plexi Classic. All benefit from near-zero latency for composing and recording.
