Used Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite QUAD Thunderbolt 3 DSP Accelerator

Description

The Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite QUAD Thunderbolt 3 is an external DSP accelerator designed to provide additional processing power for compatible UAD plug-ins. Equipped with four SHARC DSP processors, the Satellite lets producers, engineers, and studios run larger UAD plug-in sessions without placing the entire processing load on the computer's native CPU.

For mixing and mastering, the UAD-2 Satellite can be particularly useful when working with DSP-intensive processors such as channel strips, compressors, EQs, reverbs, tape emulations, and mastering tools. Additional UAD DSP can allow more plug-in instances to be used within compatible workflows, making the Satellite especially useful for larger sessions and studios already invested in the UAD platform.

The Thunderbolt 3 connection provides a streamlined way to integrate the Satellite into a compatible computer-based studio. Because this is an external desktop processor rather than an audio interface, its primary purpose is expanding UAD DSP resources—it does not replace the microphone preamps, converters, or audio I/O of your existing interface.

This unit is an excellent addition to a studio already using compatible Universal Audio software and hardware. UAD software compatibility, operating-system support, computer compatibility, account registration, and plug-in licensing can change over time, so buyers should confirm current compatibility with their specific system before purchase. Any plug-in licenses associated with a previous owner's account should not be assumed to be included unless specifically stated in the listing.
