UAD plug-ins replicate the exact, sometimes quirky, behavior of analog hardware, bringing its rich, three-dimensional sound and harmonics “inside the box.” Who’s Using UAD-2 powered plug-ins?

For example, you can “hit” them harder for more saturation, or back off for cleaner response. With UAD-2 plugs, you have to treat them as you would actual analog gear in terms of how you apply signal.

In developing UAD plug-ins, UA’s engineering group meticulously recreates classic analog gear via physical modeling that literally rebuilds the unit component by component in the digital domain. It can also be integrated alongside UAD-2 PCIe DSP Accelerator cards and Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo interfaces, including Apollo Twin, DUO, QUAD, and 16 for truly scalable mixing power. UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt is available in QUAD or OCTO models with either four or eight SHARC processors, respectively. Additionally, the Satellite’s USB 3.0 SuperSpeed technology offers reduced plug-in latency compared to FireWire 800. They feature exceptional core and memory performance, outstanding I/O throughput. Analog Devices’ SHARC processors are the premier real-time floating-point DSP processor for applications that require a wide dynamic range. The UAD-2 Satellite USB QUAD includes four SHARC processors. *Available only on QUAD-equipped Satellites SHARC processors It also comes in the form of a user-installable PCIe card for desktop towers or PCIe expansion chassis.
