In addition to a potent portable DSP Accelerator unit, you get UA's Core UAD plug-in package and the Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle. Plus, you can access over 90 optional plug-ins from Ampex, Lexicon, Studer, Neve, and more. Give your studio a serious boost, with Universal Audio's UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt QUAD Core.

Portable UAD plug-in power

The UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt QUAD Core not only includes UA's Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle, it also provides you access to more than 90 plug-ins from brands including Ampex, Manley, Lexicon, EMT, Empirical Labs, Neve, Roland, Fairchild, Pultec, Studer, SSL, and more (sold separately). This desktop-friendly unit connects to your Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2-equipped computer, turbocharging your Thunderbolt-based studio with the most authentic analog emulation plug-ins on the planet.

Truly scalable mixing power

When you've got a monster project with a suffocating deadline, it's what's under the hood that counts. That's why Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt DSP Accelerators are available in QUAD or OCTO models (with either four or eight SHARC processors), letting you customize your studio horsepower to the demands of your workflow. They may also be integrated alongside UAD-2 PCIe cards and Thunderbolt-enabled Apollo interfaces — including the Apollo Twin, Apollo, and Apollo 16, for truly scalable mixing power.

Thunderbolt — ultra-low latency and unrivaled bandwidth

Thunderbolt is one of the most important technologies to impact audio production in years, and UA was one of the first to adopt it. Thanks to its blazing-fast connectivity, Thunderbolt offers lower latency and greater stability than USB or FireWire, clocking in with the speed and ultra-fast performance of a PCI Express system — but with the convenience of a single cable.
