Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite DUO Core

Pick up a Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite DUO Core system and get the performance and flexibility of UA’s wildly successful UAD-2 DSP-powered plug-ins plus the convenience of FireWire. With a UAD-2 Satellite DUO, you’ll have the ability to run high-track count sessions loaded with some of the best sounding plug-ins that money can buy – sessions that require processing power far beyond the capacity of your computer’s CPU alone. And with the included Analog Classics collection of UAD-powered plug-ins to get you started, the Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite DUO Core system gives you a ton of bang for the buck.

Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite DUO Core DSP Plug-in Acceleration System at a Glance:

• Experience the power of SHARC chip technology
• Flexible operation modes for tracking and mixing
• Analog Classics starts you off with five killer UAD plug-ins

Experience the power of SHARC chip technology

Universal Audio’s UAD-2 cards take advantage of state-of-the-art DSP technology, adding serious horsepower to your music-production system. Both of the SHARC chips onboard boast 32-bit floating-point architecture, for the ultimate in precision and performance. When put to the test, the power potential of even a single UAD-2 card is more than impressive. Better still, you can mix and match up to four UAD-2 cards, allowing you to meet the processing needs of even the most demanding sessions.

Flexible operation modes for tracking and mixing

Using UAD-2 Satellite DUO’s LiveTrack mode, you can reduce latency on active UAD-2 plug-ins to the lowest amount possible. That’s just what you need for monitoring processed audio during the live tracking stages. On the mixing side, Universal Audio gave the UAD-2 Satellite DUO a handy LoadLock feature. This useful tool lets you automatically reserve the maximum DSP load that each of your active UAD-2 plug-ins could ever demand, so you’ll be certain you have enough DSP to engage features, such as writing automation, later.

Analog Classics starts you off with five killer UAD plug-ins

Universal Audio’s Analog Classics collection starts off with a couple of classic UA dynamics processors: the iconic LA-2A audio leveler and 1176LN/SE limiting amplifiers. It’s almost unfair how realistic these plug-ins sound, let alone the fact that your UAD-2 card has more than enough power to run several instances of both at once. Then there’s a dead-on re-creation of Pultec’s legendary EQP-1A program EQ and the Pultec Pro plug-in, plus the outstanding RealVerb Pro room modeler. And if that’s not enough, you can always pick up more plug-ins a la carte at the UAD store.
