Good to know
- Needs a computer with a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 port.
- The bundled plug-ins are licences in your UA account; UAD Ultimate plug-ins need an Apollo or UAD accelerator for their DSP versions, and this Apollo has the DSP built in.
- Sonarworks room correction needs SoundID Reference software and a measurement mic (sold separately).
