The Ultimate in Performance
Thunderbolt 3Upon Thunderbolt technology’s arrival on to the music production scene, UA was one of the first to adopt this technology and see it’s potential. Fast forward to now, with the emergence of Thunderbolt 3, this super-fast connection is greater than ever before. For instance, it delivers incredibly low latency and stronger stability than USB or FireWire, registering the speed and performance of a PCI express system.
For example, the UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt 3 runs projects with a high number of tracks at a latency of less than 2ms! Furthermore, it’s near-infinite bandwidth blows Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 away, allowing you to place multiple Thunderbolt-equipped devices — even 4k or 5k monitors — at the end of your signal chain without hindrance.
UAD Plug-In Craftsmanship:
classic audio hardwareIn developing UAD plug-ins, UA’s acclaimed engineers undertake intensive physical modeling of classic audio hardware — “rebuilding” vintage analog gear in the digital world, component by component. UAD plug-ins replicate the exact, sometimes quirky behavior of the most prized analogue hardware in existence, bringing you rich, three-dimensional sound and harmonics "in the box.”
