Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
UAD-2 Satellite TB3 QUAD Core is a Thunderbolt 3 DSP accelerator for Mac and Windows 10 users working on the UAD platform. It is built to support large professional mixes using UAD analog-emulation plug-ins, including titles developed by UA and exclusive offerings from Neve, Fender, Lexicon, and Studer. Its Thunderbolt 3 connection is also backward-compatible with Thunderbolt 1 and 2 UA devices, which can matter when it joins an existing UA setup.

Who this is for

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
