The Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt - OCTO Custom combines UA’s most powerful DSP accelerator with a Custom software bundle that lets you choose any three UAD plug-in titles at registration.* This sleek desktop unit is compatible with all Thunderbolt-based Macs, and can supercharge Apollo interfaces and other UAD-2 DSP Accelerator systems to run larger mixes filled with rich analog emulation plug-ins.
In creating UAD plug-ins, Universal Audio’s DSP engineers work with the original hardware manufacturers — using their exact schematics, golden units, and experienced ears — to give you all the warmth of classic analog equipment. The UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt QUAD Core includes four SHARC processors, and its Thunderbolt 2 technology offers reduced plug-in latency compared to Firewire 800.
The UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt OCTO Custom includes UA’s “Analog Classics Plus” plug-in bundle, and lets you select any three additional UAD plug-in titles from a world-renowned library that includes Ampex, Manley, Lexicon, EMT, Empirical Labs, Neve, Roland, Fairchild, Harrison, Little Labs, Studer, SSL, and more (sold separately).
Features:
- Run UAD Powered Plug-Ins via Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 connection on new Macs
- 8 SHARC processors offer a significant DSP boost for running large professional mixes
- Custom software bundle lets users "pick any 3" additional UAD plug-in titles within 45 days of registration*
- Access over 90 plug-ins from Ampex, Lexicon, Roland, Studer, Neve, Manley, SSL, EMT and more (sold separately)
- Includes “Analog Classics Plus” plug-in bundle, featuring the UA 610-B Preamp & EQ and 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
- Take UAD plug-ins “on the road” for mixing on Thunderbolt-equipped Macs

UNLIMITED POWER!!!!! UAD makes my favorite plugins and I used to have to save them for important tracks like LD vox when I only had 1 core. Now that I have trouble running out of DSP, my laptop is breathing easier and I’m constantly incentivized to use my “better” plugins to keep my sessions running smoothly. Wins all around!!
