General
The UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt Quad Core DSP card is a compact way to relieve your Mac with Thunderbolt connector. This little guy will run all your UAD-powered plugins, unburdening your Mac's processor. You'll be able to run more complex mixes with a wide range of DSP-intensive plugins. Use this external DSP card to take all your UAD plugins with you to another studio, for example. This way, you can rely on the familiar analogue sound of these plugins and create a mix you're completely happy with.
The Universal Audio UAD-2 Thunderbolt Quad Core's plugins
Universal Audio's plugins emulate the sound and behaviour of classic analogue gear in a remarkably natural way. You can choose from an extensive selection of nearly sixty plugins, developed in collaboration with some of the most prominent brands in the professional audio business. Pick your favourites from emulations by Studer, SSL, Manley, Empirical Labs, Neve, Roland, Lexicon, Pultec, SPL and others. The Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt Quad Core comes standard with the Analogue Classics plugin bundle.
Powerful DSP processors
There are two different UAD-2 Thunderbolt cards: the Quad and the OCTO. The Quad has four SHARC® processors, while the OCTO is equipped with eight, ensuring even more processing power. The Universal Audio plugins use only the computing power of the card. As such, they take a load off your system, enabling you to use more automations, tracks, other effects and virtual instruments. If you're still short on DSP power, it's possible to daisy-chain up to six DSP cards.
