Overview

One of the world's first ExpressCard audio digital signal processing expansion system for Mac OS X or Windows Vista laptops, the UAD-Xpander features an ultra-fast ExpressCard 34 connection (2.5Gbps differential serial link). Showcasing the same DSP power as its top-selling siblings, the UAD-1 & UAD1e series of desktop products, it allows you to mix sessions from 44.1khz to 192k and expand your powered plug-in library without bogging down your computer to increase your setup's portability. While it works at full PCI Express bandwidth, this DSP expansion system leaves slower USB and FireWire connections to handle dongles, audio I/O, and hard drives.

The UAD-Xpander comes with UA's base set of 14 plug-ins (1176SE compressor, Pultec EQP-1A EQ, Realverb Pro, CS-1 Plug-in Suite channel strip and Nigel Guitar Plug-in Suite) and is compatible with all of UA's Powered Plug-Ins. In fact, with this UAD-Xpander Xpress package, you'll get a $500 voucher good toward the purchase of any of UA's premium collection of mixing and mastering plug-ins available 24/7 at my.uaudio.com.
