Designed as the most powerful variant of the Satellite family, the UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt 3 OCTO Core stands as the reference solution for heavy UAD plug-in users. Its Thunderbolt 3 compatibility and backward compatibility with UA Thunderbolt 1/2 devices ensure perfect continuity in already equipped studios while offering the best of current bandwidth capabilities.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for mixers, producers, and sound engineers stacking compressors, equalizers, reverbs, and UAD tape emulations without compromise. Whether in the studio or mobile setups, it massively offloads the computer's CPU and maintains smooth sessions in Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, and more, whether for mixing, sound design, or premastering.
Performance Built for Large Projects
Thanks to its eight DSP cores, the OCTO Core allows many more simultaneous UAD plug-in instances, even on projects dense with tracks and real-time processing in your 64-bit DAW. The two Thunderbolt 3 ports facilitate clean chaining of interfaces, drives, and other UAD-2 accelerators while maintaining controlled latency and a professional workflow. The included "Analog Classics Plus" bundle immediately gives you access to essentials for coloring, compressing, and expanding your mixes with the UA sonic signature.
