Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
UAD-2 Satellite USB OCTO Core is a desktop DSP accelerator for a Windows-based workstation. Its eight SHARC processors add dedicated processing capacity for larger sessions using UAD Powered Plug-ins, while USB 3 SuperSpeed offers lower plug-in latency than FireWire 800. Analog Classics Plus is included, and the unit opens access to a wider UAD plug-in catalog available separately. It is aimed at producers and engineers who need more UAD processing available in their mix workflow.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Windows-based mix sessions that need additional DSP capacity for UAD Powered Plug-ins.
- Producers building larger sessions with UAD analog-emulation plug-ins.
