Expandable Processing Power
More When You Need ItThis UAD-2 Satellite USB is the QUAD version with four SHARC processors, but is available as an OCTO model with eight processors.
It can also be integrated alongside UAD-2 PCIe DSP Accelerator cards, UAD-2 Satellite FireWire, and Apollo Twin USB desktop interface for truly scalable mixing power.
UAD Plug-In Craftsmanship
The Science Behind The ScenesWhen developing UAD plug-ins, UA’s engineering group go through a complex and detailed physical modeling of classic audio hardware, “rebuilding” vintage analogue gear in the digital world, one component at a time.
This is how UAD plug-ins replicate the exact, sometimes quirky, behavior of analogue hardware, bringing its rich, three-dimensional sound and harmonics "in the box."
