Product Description

The top-of-the-line UAD-2 OCTO Ultimate 2 DSP Accelerator features Universal Audio’s most powerful PCIe processing hardware, combined with an extensive collection of 73 UA-developed plug-ins. In creating UAD plug-ins, UA’s DSP engineers work with the original hardware manufacturers — using their exact schematics, golden units, and experienced ears — to develop fully authenticated plug-ins with all the warmth and harmonics of classic analog equipment.

The Universal Audio UAD-2 OCTO Ultimate 2 features eight SHARC processors and easily installs into a PCIe-equipped desktop computer or compatible expansion chassis (PCIe or Thunderbolt*), giving your Mac or PC the ultimate boost in audio quality and mix processing power. With all 73 UA-developed** plug-in titles — including Ampex, Manley, Lexicon, EMT, Empirical Labs, Neve, Roland, Fairchild, Harrison, Little Labs, Studer, SSL, and many more — the Ultimate 2 offers extraordinary sonic possibilities.

Fully Mac and Windows 7-compatible, with support for VST, Audio Units, and RTAS, the UAD-2 OCTO Ultimate 2 is easy to use. Just install the software and PCIe card, and start mixing with some of the world’s finest audio plug-ins.


*Thunderbolt connectivity is available for Mac only. Visit www.uaudio.com/support/uad for a complete list of qualified PCIe expansion and PCIe-to-Thunderbolt expansion chassis.
