Universal Audio<\/strong><\/a> (UA) has announced a complete re-modelation of their popular UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform. The new UAD-2 Octo DSP Accelerator Card <\/strong>is featuring eight SHARC processors. And also, the UAD-2 Series offers new Custom and Ultimate Software Bundles and more affordable pricing for all UAD-2 SOLO, DUO, and QUAD DSP Accelerator Models.<\/p>\n

New OCTO DSP Accelerators – Heavyweight Processing Power<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new top-of-the-line UAD-2 OCTO DSP Accelerator ($1,499US) features eight SHARC processors on a single PCIe card and easily installs into a PCIe-equipped Mac or PC workstation or compatible expansion chassis – giving music producers and engineers twice the processing power of its UAD-2 QUAD DSP Accelerator counterpart.<\/p>\n

For UAD power users running large audio sessions with high UAD plug-in instances and\/or high sample rates, the UAD-2 OCTO DSP Accelerator is the uncompromising professional solution.<\/p>\n

New UAD-2 \u201cCustom\u201d Bundles – Pick Any 3 UAD Plug-Ins<\/strong><\/p>\n

For just $400US more than a UAD-2 DUO, QUAD, or OCTO \u201cCore\u201d DSP Accelerator model, UAD users can now step up to UAD-2 Custom bundles, selecting any three individual UAD plug-ins within 45 days of their new UAD-2 hardware registration.<\/p>\n

With a world-renowned UAD plug-in library that includes Ampex\u00ae, Manley\u00ae, Lexicon\u00ae, Studer\u00ae, EMT\u00ae, Empirical Labs\u00ae, Neve\u00ae, SSL\u00ae, Roland\u00ae, and more, UAD-2 Custom bundles deliver a potential software value of more than $1,000US (depending on UAD plug-ins selected), at significant savings to new UAD-2 users.<\/p>\n

New UAD-2 \u201cUltimate\u201d Bundles – The Definitive Collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combining the most powerful UAD-2 DSP Accelerator hardware with the most complete UAD plug-in bundle available, the new UAD-2 OCTO Ultimate (PCIe card format) and UAD-2 Satellite QUAD Ultimate (FireWire format) packages offer an extensive library of more than 55 UA-developed plug-ins, up to and including UAD Software v6.3.<\/p>\n

These UAD-2 Ultimate packages represent the definitive collection of more than 10 years of UAD plug-in development.<\/p>\n

More Affordable UAD-2 SOLO, DUO, and QUAD Core Models<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alongside the new UAD-2 hardware and software introductions, UA is debuting new, more affordable pricing for the \u201cCore\u201d models of UAD-2 SOLO, DUO, and QUAD PCIe hardware and UAD-2 DUO and QUAD Satellite FireWire hardware.<\/p>\n

All UAD-2 Core models include the popular \u201cAnalog Classics\u201d plug-in bundle, featuring the LA-2A Classic Audio Leveler, 1176LN\/1176SE Classic Limiting Amplifiers, Pultec EQP-1A, and RealVerb Pro plug-ins.<\/p>\n

Additional UAD plug-ins can be purchased from UA\u2019s Online Store<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited by the additional power and flexibility that this new UAD-2 lineup provides,\u201d says CEO and Founder, Bill Putnam, Jr. \u201cNot only has the processing power doubled with the UAD-2 OCTO model, but it\u2019s now easier for users to customize their UAD-2 packages right out of the box. And with our new aggressive pricing for SOLO, DUO, and QUAD Core models, UAD-2 is now even more accessible to producers who want to add authentic analog tone in their recordings.<\/p>\n
