Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt OCTO Core – Desktop DSP Accelerator

Universal Audio UAD Satellite DSP Accelerator 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 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 Satellite DSP Accelerator 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.
