A Benchmark in the UAD Ecosystem Dedicated to Windows Users

With the OCTO USB version, Universal Audio offers PC studios a modern and sleek solution to benefit from the renowned sound quality of UAD plug-ins. The heir to the FireWire generations, this Satellite adopts USB 3.0 to provide better responsiveness and reduced plug-in latency, while granting access to exclusive models from iconic brands like Studer, Lexicon, and Neve.

Designed for Demanding Producers, Mixers, and Creators

Whether you work in a home studio or a professional environment, the UAD-2 Satellite OCTO USB offloads effect processing to a dedicated DSP. This allows you to multiply tracks loaded with compressors, equalizers, reverbs, or tape emulations without penalizing your virtual instruments or session stability. It's the ideal solution for dense projects, ambitious mixes, and controlled turnaround times.

Key Features and Updates

Performance and Latency

The USB 3.0 connection maximizes bandwidth and reduces plug-in latency compared to older FireWire solutions. The 8 SHARC cores of the "OCTO" architecture provide ample processing power for complex effect chains across multiple tracks.

Scalability and Integration

Need more power? The Satellite can be combined with other UAD-2 units, including internal cards, to build a coherent DSP farm. It integrates perfectly with PC workflows and complements an Apollo Twin USB interface ideally when handling very heavy sessions.

Immediate Start

The included "Analog Classics Plus" bundle offers a selection of essential plug-ins to color, shape, and finalize your sounds right out of the box, with the UA sonic signature.
