Easy to setup, works like a charm. Now I can add the Studer A800 on every track! I was thinking about getting the Quad but for only 50% more, the Octo just makes more sense. My mixes have so much more flexibility now that I don't have to commit the plugins so early on in the process. If you're looking to boost your mixes, grab one of these. You won't regret it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it. Great quality. *by A***N on August 15, 2017* Great quality product, nice durable build. Runs all of my plugins just fine. Love UAD plugins. Runs smooth, easy connection to my Mac. Does run a little hot sometimes but nothing too serious. ### ⭐⭐ CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP *by J***N on February 16, 2017* CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!! UAD doesn't even include the cord to connect the freeking satellite!!! When did UAD become to cheap race car toy that doesn't include the batteries. What is the point of ordering this product and not being able to set it up when you get it. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with how CHEAP UAD IS BEING!!!!!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Universal Audio UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt - OCTO Core DSP Accelerator - Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium Short XLR to XLR Cables, XLR Microphone Cable 3 Feet, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) XLR Male to Female Cord, Mic Cord, XLR Speaker Cable, Black - tisino 1/4 inch TRS Cable, Quarter inch 1/4 TRS to TRS Balanced Stereo Audio Cable Male to Male Pro Interconnect Cable, Nylon Braid - 15 FT --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6867034-uad-2-satellite-thunderbolt-octo-core-dsp-accelerator](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/6867034-uad-2-satellite-thunderbolt-octo-core-dsp-accelerator) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
