Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt OCTO Custom – Desktop DSP Accelerator with Custom Bundle

The Universal Audio UAD 2 Satellite Thunderbolt from Universal Audio is a DSP accelerator that allows for accessing UAD plug-ins within any DAW software running on Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2-equipped Mac computers.

Powered by eight SHARC processors, the standalone DSP accelerator provides extensive plug-in instantiation for large mixes without taxing the host computer, while also delivering world-class analog emulation.

Other benefits of the Universal Audio UAD 2 Satellite Thunderbolt -equipped DSP accelerator include greater UAD plug-in instances (the interface requires less of its own DSP to function when compared with previous versions).

Improved performance at higher sample rates, and reduced UAD plug-in latency.

Additionally, the unit can supercharge existing Apollo interfaces and other Universal Audio UAD 2 Satellite Thunderbolt systems by creating expanded systems for running complex mixes.

Included with the unit is the company’s “Analog Classics” bundle, featuring the UA 610-B Preamp and EQ, along with legacy editions of the LA-2A .

Classic Audio Leveler, 1176LN / 1176SE Classic Limiting Amplifier, Fairchild 670 Tube Limiter, Pultec Pro Equalizers, UA Precision Enhancer Hz, CS-1 Precision Channel, and RealVerb Pro plug-ins.
