Overview

As the company's most powerful DSP accelerator PCIe card, the Universal Audio UAD-2 OCTO Ultimate 7 enables professional power users to run demanding projects with high plug-in instances and/or high sample rates at low latency and without burdening the computer's CPU. The card easily installs on Windows and Mac workstations equipped with a desktop tower or a PCIe-to-Thunderbolt expansion chassis. Featuring eight SHARC processors, it supercharges your workstation and integrates with other UAD-2 devices including additional UAD-2 PCIe cards, the UAD-2 Satellite, and Apollo audio interfaces. The UAD-2 OCTO allows you to create large professional mixes filled with rich analog-emulation plug-ins, which may be difficult or impossible to achieve with native recording systems.
