Breathe new life into your mixing sessions with Universal Audio UAD-2 DSP accelerators that connect to your computer via a Thunderbolt 3 port (USB-C connector) and free up your Mac or PC's processor resources to avoid slowdowns.

Powered by four SHARC processors, the standalone DSP accelerator offers the ability to use a large number of plug-ins for your mixes without the risk of overloading your computer's processor, while still providing premium analog emulation.

Other benefits of the Thunderbolt 3-equipped DSP accelerator include a greater number of UAD plug-in instances (the interface requires less of its own DSP to operate compared to previous versions), improved performance at higher sample rates and reduced UAD plugin latency. Additionally, the unit can supercharge existing Apollo interfaces and other UAD-2 DSP accelerator systems by creating expanded systems for running complex mixes.

Take it to the next level and remove your limitations with the Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt 3 QUAD Core card.

PLEASE NOTE: It is not enough to have a USB-C port on your computer to be compatible with the UAD-2 Thunderbolt 3. Even if the Thunderbolt 3 port and USB-C are in the same format, the transmission protocol of the data is not the same.
How to distinguish a Thunderbolt 3 port from a USB-C port? The Thunderbolt 3 port is always placed under a lightning bolt icon. If you don't see one, your computer will not be UAD-2 Satellite compatible.
