Thanks UA
I love my new satellite . Little black workhorse... Easy to install and absolutely perfect for a mobile setup. 11 stars cause it's been given to me with the new Apollo 8. ;))

Exzellent Extension!
It's incredible easy to install an register any UA device and UA plugin.
Especially the Satellite is very usefully for me if I'm doing an mixing if I'm on tour and don't want to missing any UA-Plugin.
Since I've got the Apollo 8p I'm wondering how I was working before.....
The sound of the preamps and the converters are fantastic. Especially recording acoustic instruments. It's brings almost an uncolored and authentic sound on hard disk.
It's "champions league"!

Winner,winner chicken dinner!!!!!!!!
Uad is just what the doctor ordered. Love the idea of taken the load off my computer to use additional plug ins! Great gear, great idea! Thanks!

Perfect Companion
I got this product free while purchasing my Apollo 16. Such a great offer and such a great piece of gear. Gives me the option to work on my sessions on a laptop which is a great option for me. A joy to setup and works great right from the start. Thank you Universal Audio for wonderful service and gear.

CPU relief
This box sure takes the load off the CPU of my Mac Pro, and the sound of the plugins are definitely superior in my opinion. Now I own two and it's a powerhouse!

Great promotional item! Double your processing power!
I received one as part of the Apollo rackmount purchase promotion. I have an 8p and adding this Satellite to the rig doubles the number of shark chips and plugin processing power.
Now I can leave my console setup for recording without having to deactivate all the plugins while working in Ableton. I use roughly 7 inputs of various sources and have 2-3 plugs in each channel. The vocal mike has considerably more processing applied.
Before adding the Satellite, this meant 40% processing load without any plugin instances inside my DAW! Now, that setup uses less than 25% of my total processing power.
I wanted to give 4.5 because the Satellites are not rack mountable. In fact, they're actually just a LITTLE too small to fit in 1U. A faceplate that allows for rack-mounting a couple side-by side and / or individually would be great.

Unison DSP Lifesaver!
Just fished tracking with the Apollo 8p & Octo, unison pres on all 8 tracks on the way in. The Octo was only at 25%, and had plenty of gas left in the tank. I look forward to mixing now with peace of mind. Hmmm, should I sell my hardware pres...?

UAD 2 Thunderbolt Satellite
Despite the price tag, the quad is a mixing power house. What really works for me are the emulations of some famous but hard to get hardware FX. Love the Time Cube, instant width.

What is not to like?
Absolutely great in combination with the apollo 8. No problems with my mac, cubase or logic x. Compact and powerful
B. Lewinski
love it
works great, but still not enough power for me. have to buy a octa

You hear about game chargers all the time...
Everyone's new audioWidget is "revolutionary" and they all say "you'll never understand how you lived without it". And most are nice... but this... this is different. I had already invested in other plug-ins, so I wasn't interested in changing platforms. Then some really smart people turned me toward Universal Audio.
So I did the research and bought an Apollo Twin with the Unison preamp, Fairchild and Neve freebies. I've spent time on an SSL board tinkering with real rack gear, and I hate it when bearded older-brother type engineers say "dude that digital DAW just isn't the same". This sounded the same to me; or sounded close enough not to care. Fire-and-forget easy setup and authorization, and roadworthy plug-and-play packaging.
Two days later I bought a Satellite... then a few essential plugs (ENGL bundle, Shadow Hills, the ATR-102, etc.). Probably should have started with an Apollo 8p... Needless to say the mix is warm, lush sonic goodness. Now I'm getting back to the all those previously "mastered" tracks. As a bonus, I was stoked to play through the amps and hear warm tone with zero-latency. Okay, near zero. Again, close enough not to care.
As close to a 5 out of 5 stars as I can imagine.

Wow, Wow, Wow
I am able to place an effect of my choice across 20 tracks with no problems, absolutely fabulous, I'm amazed.... Great Job UAD.,,,

Glad to have gotten this!
I ordered my apollo 8p during the holidays and loved it! Except it would run out of dsp with 8 of the neve 88rs channel strips. Now that I have the my satellite with UAD's promo for free, I have a lot more dsp to run more plugins!

UA Thunderbolt Satellite OCTO
Thunderbolt bandwidth allows for larger plug-in counts. Other UAD-2 hardware can be seamlessly used in tandem. I use an Apollo Twin Duo and it all "just works" Available with a range of plugin bundles. Fanless, silent operation.
It is possible to "max out" on plugins with this unit but for my music I find this sufficient. I'm so pleased that I bought the Octo as opposed to the Quad as I think I'd have found it lacking and unable to keep up with the amount of processor hungry plugins I use even in my relatively small acoustic mixes.

UAD 2 satellite quad
Excellent product very compact and lite. It only needs one cable and your set weather at home or mobile its to easy with this little box of power.
