Unlock professional-grade analog sound and processing power with the UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt 3 QUAD Core. Designed for audio engineers and producers who demand pristine sound quality and efficient workflow, this DSP accelerator offloads intensive plugin processing from your computer, allowing you to run complex mixes without compromising performance.
The core advantage lies in its four SHARC processors, which provide substantial DSP horsepower dedicated solely to running Universal Audio’s acclaimed UAD Powered Plug-Ins. These plug-ins meticulously emulate rare and vintage analog hardware, delivering the warmth, depth, and character that native processing cannot match. This means you can achieve the sonic richness of classic compressors, equalizers, reverbs, and tape machines directly within your DAW.
Equipped with Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, the UAD-2 Satellite ensures ultra-fast data transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps with minimal latency. This facilitates smooth integration into high-demand studio environments and guarantees responsive performance during tracking and mixing sessions. Additionally, its backward compatibility with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 devices protects your existing investments and simplifies system expansion.
The unit’s compact and robust design features a fanless enclosure, ensuring silent operation to maintain focus in any studio setting. Measuring 7 inches wide by 6.75 inches deep and 1.75 inches high, and weighing just 2.24 pounds, it is portable enough for mobile studios without sacrificing durability.
Compatibility extends across Mac OS and Windows 10 64-bit platforms, supporting major DAWs including Pro Tools, Cubase, and Live through VST, RTAS, and AAX 64 plug-in formats. This broad support allows seamless integration into your existing workflow. Furthermore, the UAD-2 Satellite can be combined with other UAD-2 devices, such as PCIe DSP cards and Apollo interfaces, to scale your DSP resources as your projects grow.
