Frequently Asked Questions
Does the UAD-2 Satellite USB work on Mac?
No. The USB version of the Satellite is specifically designed and optimized for Windows systems. Mac users should look for the UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt 3 models, also available at Gigstore.
What is the difference between QUAD and OCTO Core?
The QUAD model features 4 processors, while the OCTO features 8. If you typically mix large projects with many high-resolution plug-ins (like the Neve 1073 or SSL 4000 E), the OCTO provides double the processing power for extra headroom.
