The UAD-2 Quad from Universal Audio consists of a short form PCIe (Express) card for use in either Mac or Windows based native audio workstations. The card supplements the DSP processing of these systems, giving the computer's CPU more headroom and freeing resources for other functions that can include additional tracks, heavier mix automation or the ability to use more native effects.
The card ships with 4 bundled plug-ins that cover dynamic, EQ and reverb processing. An included voucher allows the user to purchase from Universal Audio (via the Internet) further plug-ins of their choice. Additionally, the card supports the use of other manufacturers' Audio Units, RTAS or VST plug-ins, when using the appropriate host software.
