More DSP, more smiles.
More power means more plugins and that makes me smile just that much more. :) I love the look of this box and the fact that I can daisy chain it to my Apollo is wonderful.

Boost up your project
I use UAD Plug ins all of my projects.
Now Satellite support Windows systems. WOW
If you choice Octo, it will be best choice for your Mix and Mastering sessions.

Free with the Apollo 8P
I'm really happy I got in on this deal. The UAD-2 ups your processing power in a big way, and you can actually track the dsp's percentages of CPU between the 8P and the UAD-2 in UAD meter/control panel. Super cool way to see how this thing works. Thanks, UA!

Extra chips!
Wonderful to get extra processing power. Makes mixing easier .. now I can put a channel strip on each group, and a Zener Limiter and a Studer ... :-P

Whoo!
You can´t really argue with free hardware. Got through the promotional offer, as I bought an Apollo 8 DUO to go with it. Extremely pleased, and now with an Apollo Twin DUO, Apollo 8 DUO and two QUAD Satellites, I´m running plugins all over the place.

You... Need... This... Game Changer!
I have two of the Quads running on my MBP 15. Why 2 Quads instead of 1 Octo? Just timing wasn't right to return the Quad to get an Octo. This is AMAZING, it's the difference between an average mix and a professional mix, I've literally gone through most of my projects and stripped the native plugins or Waves plugins I had on tracks and replaced them with he UAD plugins, and added some of the high end UAD plugins to my mastering chain and OMG what a difference! Not only is my MBP not taxed in terms of CPU but the clarity, precision, and awesomeness of UAD plugins really brings my tracks to a whole different level. Definitely recommend this to anyone who is serious about music production and mastering audio.

Must have
If you're going to be using UAD plugins then you gonna need this. Unfortunately the plug ins take so much DSP so this is a must. However UAD plug ins are by far one of the best in the market.

Built like a tank
I'm always hopping from studio to studio and I never doubt the solid construction of my UAD-2 Satellite. The plugins are unbelievable too; truly sound like hardware. With UAD, I never have to feel like I'm sacrificing by staying in-the-box.

Octo is the way to go!
Well well worth getting for the mixing aspect ... What an amazing addition to my setup!! Thanks UAD!!

Flawless integration
UAD-2 Satellite gives me seamless access to more DSP for these amazing plugins. Couldn't have been easier to setup and add to my studio setup. Just plug it in, and power it up. The performance benefit is huge and thunderbolt makes it easy.

Level Up!
So, there is not a whole lot to say in terms of great tone and versatility, but this little guy packs all the punch in all the right places. I got a free satellite with my purchase of my Apollo 8 this past December. I also traded up for an Apollo Twin Quad MKII. Now, I am running at 10 DSP and pretty damn happy about it! I can run plugins for days. What is really nice is that I don't have to feel limited when I am being creative. Really, there are no cons and a whole lot of pros to this device. One thing I did find odd (and this is by no means anything near a complaint) is that when you register this device you get a $100 coupon, same as the Apollo 8, but when you register the Apollo Twin Quad, something that is definitely more expensive than the Satellite, you only get a $50 coupon. I just found that odd, is all. Also, has UA thought of developing a Thunderbolt cable that is longer than 6 feet? That would be kind of nice, too.

UAD-2 Satellite - Real power
This added a ton of processing power to my current Apollo 8p. Everything you guys do is top notch. No corners cut...EVER.

Worth about 10 stars actually
My system is a 2014 i7 Quad MBP, macOS Sierra 10.12.3, Pro Tools 12HD, Logic Pro X 10.3, Cubase Pro 9 and tons of other high end (and not so high end) plug ins like Waves, MCDSP, SSL etc. and you know what? My new TB Octo Satellite is the best working piece of gear I have owned as yet (together with my TB Apollo) besides it´s almost inexhaustible power to run tons of those exceptional, outstanding UAD plug ins. I chained it with my Apollo and it perfectly worked from the first second on. Simply great! Not usual today indeed when even high end soft- and hardware developers come out with new stuff which doesn't work as supposed to from time to time. Not so Universal Audio. Thanks for that! Definitely worth the price at the end of the day. Highly recommended piece of gear!
R. Pressman
Really handy
Nice to have a small, portable unit that can manage my plug-ins and handle the DSP load.
P. Sansone
Love it!
Love It!! A fantastic addition to my Apollo 16. UA again comes forth with a game changer!

UAD-2 Satellite Excellent Power booster.
This piece of hardware was super easy to install and brought so much extra power to my existing setup. Feels robust and proper perfect size to travel with if i need to.
Now i don't have to worry about using my favorite plugins such as the NEVE Channel strip and Manley EQ. Thank you UAD for all your amazing products.
