Product Description
The top-of-the-line UAD-2 Satellite QUAD Ultimate 2 features Universal Audio’s most powerful FireWire 800 DSP Accelerator unit, combined with an extensive collection of 73 UAD 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 create fully authenticated plug-ins with all the warmth and harmonics of classic analog equipment.
Powered by four SHARC processors, the Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite QUAD Ultimate 2 easily connects to Intel-based Macs or Windows 7 PCs* via FireWire 800 — letting you run large, complex mixes without taxing your host computer. Additionally, you can connect to Thunderbolt-equipped Macs via Apple’s Thunderbolt-to-FireWire adapter.
The UAD-2 Satellite QUAD Ultimate 2 includes all 73 UA-developed** 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 many more — providing extraordinary sonic possibilities.
With support for VST, Audio Units, RTAS, and full 64-bit operation, the UAD-2 Satellite QUAD Ultimate 2 is easy to use. Just install the software, connect the unit to an available FireWire 800 port, power up, and start mixing with the world’s finest audio plug-ins.
*Requires Windows 7 64-bit edition operating system and a qualified PCIe-to-FireWire adapter. Visit www.uaudio.com/support/uad for a complete list of compatible desktops and laptops.
