Universal Audio UAD-2 Quad Core

Full Description

Universal Audio's DSP engineers have worked with the original hardware manufacturers using their exact schematica, golden units and experienced ears. The result is fully authenticated plug-ins with the same warmth and harmonics as the classic analog gear.

The UAD-2 Quad Core features four SHARC processors. It's easy to install onto your PCIe-equipped desktop (whether that's Mac or PC) or compatible expansion chassis (PCIe or Thunderbolt), giving your workstation an immediate boost in audio quality and mix processing power.

Universal Audio's 'Analog Classics' bundle is included and provides access to popular UAD plug-in titles from Ampex, Fairchild, Neve, Roland, Studer, Empirical Labs and more. The bundle also features Legacy editions of the LA-2A Classic Audio Leveler, 1176LN / 1176SE Classic Limiting Amplifier, Pultec EQP-1A, Pultec Pro and RealVerb Pro Plug-ins.

The UAD-2 Quad Core DSP is fully compatible with Mac and Windows 7, and so easy to use. Just install the software and PCIe card and you're ready to start mixing with some of the world's finest audio plug-ins.
