I was reading a mic thread and didn't want to hijack.
I have two LA610MKII's in the studio but a lot of my guitar work and vocal experimentation is done at home. With the Apollo Unison slot simulating or virtualizing channel strips such as the 610 I had assumed (or hoped) that I would not need to drag the LA610's back and forth with me when plugging in mics at home. I use a Shure SM7B and SM81 and sometimes a Rode K2.
From what I'm reading the Apollo may not have the ballz to bring up the volume level to the same degree as the LA610MKII's without kicking the noise floor up.
Won't say it defeats 'all' of my purpose of getting the Apollo Quad but it certainly defeats a chunk of my justification. I thought that was the point of the 610B (and others) Unison Technology.
