Product Description
The ultimate collection of UAD Powered Plug-Ins over Thunderbolt
The Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt OCTO Ultimate 7 package is Universal Audio’s most powerful DSP accelerator, combined with a flagship collection of 99 UAD Powered Plug-Ins. This sleek desktop unit is compatible with Thunderbolt-equipped Macs and Windows PCs, and can supercharge UA audio interfaces and other UAD-2 DSP Accelerator systems to run larger mixes filled with rich analog emulation plug-ins. UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt OCTO Ultimate 7 includes 99 UA-developed* plug-ins from a world-renowned library that includes titles from Ampex, Lexicon, Neve, Helios, Manley, Fairchild, Studer, Empirical Labs, Fender, SSL, and many more. 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 in your DAW. The UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt OCTO Ultimate 7 provides massive horsepower via eight SHARC processors, and its Thunderbolt technology offers reduced plug-in latency compared to FireWire 800.
