Comparison
UAD is the best because you only have to buy it once. No update fees.

System strain gone!
After plugging the UAD Accelerator, the first thing noticed is the strain it takes off of the computer. This is a true life safer and gives the ability to utilize more plugins for use at one time.
Not receiving the too many plugins message is awesome. No longer do I have to choose between the plugins I use.

Top notch
Flawless Octo performance.
F. Biagetti
Great for additional processing power
I bought this satellite TB2 second hand and it works like a charm, no compatibility issue just plug & play!
It's giving 4 additional DSP cores to my twin quad and for now I think that's plenty for typical rock projects

UAD Satellite Thunderbolt 3
Very happy with this UAD product. So glad to be using plugins I purchased some years ago plus some new plugins. I had lost my original hardware after moving interstate. Back on track! This accelerator works really well.

Industry Standard
If you still are on the fence about UA and the Apollo X line and the satellites here’s the bottom line from an x6, Octo and Ultimate 8owner of 6 months The defining moment that every one will encounter is when you start hearing that the music you are doing starts sounding like records old and new and you can now make that elusive sound you become musically drunk with amazement and you will feel your now unstoppable. What shows is that your barely mixed songs start sounding better than the mastered versions of stuff you did on consumer targeted equipment. What made me buy this was a review identical to this one and I swore it must have been fake or a company sympathizer the worst thing that can happen is you get famous. .

Satellite Quad thunderbolt. doesn't. work!!!
I have a apollo 8 and an octo satellite who work good. I've bought a satelite quad for more power, but it does'nt work at all! charge my general DSP, dismiss all my UAD plugs!
and now the music store is close for one month in Paris... what a ...!

Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt - OCTO Custom
Good stuff but what I bought was a Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt - OCTO Custom. Excellent product really provides the seamless heavy lifting to support bigger mixes. Nice to be able to build and engineer audio chains on the canvas and not get limited by tech. Let's you put it between the speakers. Thinking of getting another unit for the house.
The rear power switch on the OCTO compromises usability. Also it should come with optional 1RU Ears. Had to pursue a DIY to custom fitted solution to put it in the rack in one of our sidecars.
Desk space is premium real estate. The price was also a bit heavy almost the cost of the main Apollo 8 we purchased. Overall great product. Also like the umbrella licensing across the entire system for the plugins. That is a solid value add.

Very much needed with my Apollo Quad
Can’t get enough DSP with all the powerful plug ins available at UA!
I love having this under the hood for maximum recordings and mixes!
W. Edwards
Best purchase since my Apollo Twin
So glad I bought this unit. Lets me use the plugins I want on my mix. I went for the Octo, and my template with all the plugins in place only gets me to 75% of available DSP. That’s with a couple of instances of Capitol Chambers, and a whole host of other stuff. If you like UA plugs, this is a no-brainer.

3 octa + quad all work perfectly
Very happy with my over kill set up only downside is it doenst help the apollo with unison applications but I dont really need it.
V. Velazquez Solis
I love it
A game changer. Thanks UA!

I bought this product and It's not working at all. The box itself seem to only run one plugin and majority of my plugins are disabled because of the Dsp. I've tried to contact the support team and they haven't replied to my actual questions. Pretty disappointing as I have another older version of the satellite box and that one runs fine.

Just added my first Octo Satellite
I started a year ago with the Twin X Quad to get a nice interface and test the waters of UAD. Well I drank the koolaid and one year later just added an octo satellite to the mix and it's great. I look at it as an investment in my future music. There is lots of competition when it comes to plugins but I choose to put my money with UA and I've been really happy so far.
T. Musto
Did the trick
Whats to say? Love the plugins need more DSP!
P. Spierenburg
Very happy
This is my second octo tb3. It has lots of dsp power and very good effects. If you want a stable dsp system, just go for this one.
A. Fazil
Power DSP when you need it the most
This is my 2nd Satellite - With Luna and this device - its a Dream - you have enough power to use all your great UAD plugins to get great mixing going - If you can afford to go for the OCTO as eventually you will want to move to a higher specification device.
H. Jang
This is what I want
It is a really good piece of equipment. I have just as much as I want. I wish it could run on Luna, but I’m totally satisfied with it.
