Overview

UA's powered plug-ins and DSP processing come to FireWire-equipped computers.

The powerful UAD-2 Satellite QUAD puts the world' finest analog emulation plug-ins within easy reach of FireWire 800- and 400-equipped Macs”including Intel-based iMacs, MacBook Pros, and Mac minis. In developing UAD-2 plug-ins, UA' DSP engineers worked with leading hardware manufacturers”using their exact schematics, golden units, and experienced ears”to give your mixes all the warmth and harmonics of classic analog recordings. Powered by four SHARC processors, the UAD-2 Satellite QUAD allows you to run large, complex mixes without taxing your host computer.

Bundled with the LA-2A and 1176LN Compressor/Limiters, and the Pultec EQP-1A EQ plug-ins, the UAD-2 Satellite QUAD provides rich, vintage sound quality right out of the box. Of course, the UAD-2 Satellite also provides easy FireWire access to the complete UAD Powered Plug-Ins library, including titles from Studer, SSL, Manley, Empirical Labs, Neve, Roland, BOSS, EMT, Fairchild, Harrison, Helios, Little Labs, Lexicon, Pultec, SPL, and more (sold separately).

Compatible with select iMacs, MacBook Pros, and Mac minis, with support for VST, Audio Units, and RTAS, the UAD-2 Satellite QUAD features wide compatibility. Whether you use Pro Tools, Cubase, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Digital Performer, and more, UAD-2 plug-ins can inject the character and quality of classic hardware into your mixes. Just install the software, connect the unit to an available FireWire 800 or 400 port, power up, and start mixing.

Developed by a premier engineering team, and backed by frequent new software and plug-in releases, the UAD-2 is the processing platform of choice for many of the world's top musicians, producers, and engineers.
