Review: More Plugin Options in My Mix! - So glad I bought this. Easy to setup, works like a charm. Now I can add the Studer A800 on every track! I was thinking about getting the Quad but for only 50% more, the Octo just makes more sense. My mixes have so much more flexibility now that I don't have to commit the plugins so early on in the process. If you're looking to boost your mixes, grab one of these. You won't regret it. Review: CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP - CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!! UAD doesn't even include the cord to connect the freeking satellite!!! When did UAD become to cheap race car toy that doesn't include the batteries. What is the point of ordering this product and not being able to set it up when you get it. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with how CHEAP UAD IS BEING!!!!!! ## Features - Run UAD Powered Plug-Ins via Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 connection on new Macs, Dual Thunderbolt ports for convenient daisy-chaining of Thunderbolt peripherals - 8 SHARC processors provide a massive DSP boost for running large professional mixes - Access over 90 plug-ins from Ampex, Lexicon, Roland, Studier, Never, Manley, SSL, EMT and more (sold separately) - Combine with other UAD-2 devices, including UAD-2 PCIe card(s), and Apollo audio interface - Compatible with Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Live, and more ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00NV8WEQ6 | | Brand | Universal Audio | | Brand Name | Universal Audio | | Compatible Devices | Apollo audio interface, Personal Computer, UAD-2 PCIe card | | Connectivity Technology | Thunderbolt | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 15 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00819937001604 | | Item Weight | 4.65 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Universal Audio | | Manufacturer Part Number | TBSATOCOD | | Model Number | TBSATOCOD | | Number of Channels | 8 | | Operating System | macOS | | Supported Software | Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Live, Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle (AAX 64, VST, AU, RTAS) | | UPC | 819937001604 | | Warranty Description | Universal audio warrants that its hardware will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year after it has been acquired by the original end-user purchaser or authorized transferee, subject to normal use. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Universal Audio - **Compatible Devices:** Apollo audio interface, Personal Computer, UAD-2 PCIe card - **Supported Software:** Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Live, Analog Classics Plus plug-in bundle (AAX 64, VST, AU, RTAS) - **Connectivity Technology:** Thunderbolt - **Number of Channels:** 8 ## Images ![Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt - OCTO Core DSP Accelerator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51em8vFk55L.jpg) ![Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt - OCTO Core DSP Accelerator - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715q6vDMtyL.jpg) ![Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt - OCTO Core DSP Accelerator - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41SF0Nqgc0L.jpg) ![Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt - OCTO Core DSP Accelerator - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51GxohwB5iL.jpg) ![Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt - OCTO Core DSP Accelerator - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51K6MsiIXpL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More Plugin Options in My Mix! *by J***Y on November 26, 2016* So glad I bought this.
