10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 50 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 50 days to 180 days (terms apply after 50 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

AutoGain and more with UAD Console app

Universal Audio’s UAD Console app gives you complete control over your audio workflow. This intuitive digital mixer lets you route inputs, set up cue mixes, and manage plug-in scenes with ease. Features like Auto-Gain streamline your recording process, ensuring you never miss the right levels. The app also integrates immersive audio monitoring, Bass Management for adding a subwoofer, and alternate speaker switching for quick A/B comparisons during mixdown. For those working in both small and expanding studios, the UAD Console app ensures that you can tailor your setup to fit your production style, helping you stay creative and efficient throughout the session.

Hear pristine audio with elite conversion

The Apollo x8p Gen 2 delivers some of the clearest, most accurate audio conversion in its class. With elite 24-bit / 192 kHz resolution and enhanced D/A converters, your recordings and mixes benefit from astonishingly low distortion and an incredible 130 dB dynamic range. This means you can capture every nuance of your performance or session with crystal-clear detail. Whether you’re recording, mixing, or mastering, the Apollo x8p ensures professional-grade results every time.

Record with legendary analog sound

Thanks to its eight Unison mic preamps, the Apollo x8p allows you to track in real time through accurate emulations of iconic gear like Neve, Manley, API, and Fender. This technology replicates the character of classic analog preamps, including their impedance and gain stage behaviours, so you can add authentic warmth and colour to your recordings. For guitarists, the Hi-Z inputs let you plug in directly and get instant access to vintage amp sounds, ensuring your instruments sound as good as your vocals.

Seamless integration with UAD plug-ins

With HEXA Core DSP, the Apollo x8p powers over 200 UAD plug-ins, allowing you to record and mix in real time without taxing your computer. From classic compressors and EQs like the LA-2A and Pultec, to modern favourites like the Distressor, you’ll have access to a vast range of tools straight out of the box. The Essentials+ Edition comes with over 50 plug-ins, giving you everything you need to craft polished, professional productions.
