Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built to add DSP capacity to a Thunderbolt-based recording setup, the UAD-2 Satellite TB3 OCTO Core uses eight SHARC processors to handle UAD plug-in processing. Dual Thunderbolt 3 ports support a daisy-chained device setup, while the fan-free enclosure keeps operation silent. Pair it with a Thunderbolt-equipped Apollo interface for an integrated UAD workflow, or use it as a standalone DSP accelerator alongside another Thunderbolt 3 audio interface.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Expanding available UAD plug-in processing when working on large mixes in real time.
- Thunderbolt studio systems that need to connect additional Thunderbolt devices in a daisy chain.
- Recording spaces where fan-free operation matters during tracking or live performance.
