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.

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.

Simple and very effective
I use a Satellite together with my Apollo 8 Duo, and it was the easiest product install I ever did. Just plug it into a thunderbolt port on the back of the Apollo, and you're ready to go, with a lot more DSP power!

All the UAD you could want
Love my octo, I can run just about all the plugins I would ever need with DSP to spare. Very easy to setup using thunderbolt daisy chaining with my Apollo interface.

UAD-2 Satellite, a dream!
I have been a producer for quite a while and after using uad 1 plug ins in the past I always thought of switching to uad 2 with a satellite system. I really love the hardware !! Easy to use and, as with all things uad it is very reliable, which is very important to me beside the great sound! The connection via thunderbolt to my iMac is great! Thank you, uad!!

More DSP like expected
Yeah, more DSP like expected. Great work together with my Apollo interface! Great!
T. Friesecke
Perfect!
More DSP - everything works fantastic with apollo!
Nice!
T. Friesecke
Nice!
Really happy with my both new satellites!
Maximum DSP, like i wished to have!

Must have along with Apollo interface
If you want your Apollo plug ins to work efficiently without any hiccups then you're gonna need this .. Makes a whole world of a difference when it's on

Best deal ever!!!
I have been a long time customer of UAD products. I started out using the 4-710d as a way to preamp my mics for recording into a Focustrite Liquid Saffire. I thought I was in heaven. Then I discovered UAD's Quad-2 card and the library of plug ins available. It was then I really thought I was in heaven!
Fast forward to about 6 months ago...I found out I could replace my Focusrite with a UAD Apollo 8 and then get a Satellite QUAD for free. I thought to myself "I wonder if this is what heaven is like".
Since then I learned that my system was now capable of using 8 channels from the Apollo 8, another 8 channels from the 4-710d via ADAT cable, and then connect the Satellite to the Apollo and I now have a setup that can only be described as heaven!!!
While everything I said is true, this review is about the Satellite. THe QUAD had a full 4 cores of DP processing that serves exactly the way the pcie card did, allowing me a ton of plug ins without much impact to my cpu. I have used as many as 40 or 50 plugins in one recording session and never got past 50 or 60 percent DSP usage. Amazing!
Set up could not have been easier. The system immediately recognized the unit and the easy download of the V9 software allowed me to register all my plugins and within minutes I was a mixing mamma jamma.
If ever there was a series of hardware that was a game changer for me it is the UAD product line. Apollo as an audio interface, Satellite as a DSP expander and 4-710d as additional audio preamps has made my little home studio the envy of my circle of enthusiasts, and more than a few professionals in the Nashville area where I am from.
If you find yourself purchasing a Satellite, enjoy it! I trust you will not regret it!!!
PS - using a Windows 10 PC with 32 GB RAM, intel i7 on a Megabyte Z170X gaming 7 board with thunderbolt. Runs like a champ.
