What They Say

I love the high-end boost of the UAD Trident A-Range EQ. It’s extremely musical all across the board.

The Trident A-Range Classic Console EQ plug-in is one of my favorite EQs, especially for electric guitars. I think it’s the best electric guitar EQ that there is.

    My faveorite old school sound.

    In a digital age where old people like myself still love the sounds of the 50, 60 and 70¨s this is one of my go to plugins. I honestly use it on everything. It quickly became my go to for warm hot bass, but then again the sounds it produces on electric guitars and vocales even, is just amazing to my ears. I like that it is somewhat of a hidden gem, and am super excited that UA would recover it and make it available in today's world of music production. I would love that UA would even develop more plugins based on the old Trident world, just to top of things.

    Great circuit emulation

    As long as I used the demo version, I noticed that it gives you a more open sound when you just apply the plugin, without altering any of the EQ's faders. The EQ is good as well, for adding color an character. Feels like analog stuff!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
