D. Formula
Impressive Increase In Mix Capability.
Although expensive for a proprietary unit, it achieves, with ease, the claimed expansion of useable plugins available for use in a large ProTools session.
Impressive and actually strait-forward to integrate into your existing system
W. Langlet
Does exactly what it should
Good piece of gear.
Great amount of dsp for what I need.
A. Potapov
Plenty of power!
My unit is OCTO powered. I got is as a part of Apollo promotion and it is a useful, valuable addition to my setup. Provides enough horsepower for my mixing projects.
I only wish UA found some way to make it work with Luna software. As of now you can only use it in other DAWs for mixing and using UAD plugins (in you have an Apollo, it's only usable for mixing basically).

UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt 3
A friend of Apollo x6 who has a nice design that can power my music.

-1 for the bulky power supply
The power supply is so annoyingly big I wanted to give only 3 stars. But tgen I realized that it could power my mac. Thats awesome. So I have 4 stars to give. It‘s an Octo. Pretty powerful. What else?

UAD-2 IS THE BEST, BUT...
...as a Universal Audio customer (with an Apollo 8, several purchased plugins and now the Sat) I would have hoped to get at least one plugin free. I have nothing more to say except that the sound is fantastic.

Great Interface!
No latency and useful Console App. Multiple cues and talkback. NICE. With ADAT I/O I have 16 simultaneous inputs, which is essential. HOWEVER: I am surprised and disappointed in how quickly the system runs out of processing power even with the UAD Satellite. I'm not sure if its me or what, but I expected much more for the 3 plus thousand I spent on it.
W. Talen
Solid stuff!!!!
Well build equipment. Does what it should do.
J. Honeybrook-Carter
Great DSP boost for home studio
I received a free Satellite Quad during the Apollo X series deal. It does what it says. Easy to set up and authorise for your UA plugins. Adds some extra processing load to my APollo X6 based rig. It looks great and seems to have high quality build, just like the Apollo series of interfaces.
If I was buying one I'd probably go for the Octo model.
While these are a great addition to your rig they are fairly expensive for what you get.
A. Thevenet
Great DSP Booster
I use it individually to mix with UAD plug ins, or plugged to my apollo 8 for more power while recording. Very nice, small and clean, easy to travel with.
The ON/OFF button feels a bit cheap compare to the apollo 8 and it still worth more than a thousand, the only pitfall.
H. Song
Good expansion for your DSP power
but what a pity, cannot be used in console app.
B. DU
Good and Overpriced
It is overpriced. But since UAD is kind of exclusive to me, I’ll take it. Overall I like it, good quality, nice compatibility.
p. jeannette
Wonderful ! Good purchase
Got it for a work in progress and to help the 4 DSP of my TWIN MKII so for sure, a new fresh air for additionnal plugins in my project. And for sure, more dsp, more plugins.
C. Horsethief
Seamless integration and capacity...
UAD’s seamless integration of SHARC processors wouldn’t be possible without the foolproof plug and play functionality of the Satellite units. Scalable and reliable processing power—first time, every time.
J. Milaszewski
Too little DSP power
Many new UAD plugins consume large amount of power. I need at least two Octo to do a smaller mix. Other than that, it's great and compact in size.
D. Muir
DSP anxiety gone!
The Octo Satellite does exactly what it says on the box and that's exactly what I wanted. I've daisy-chained my Apollo Twin into the Satellite then into the Mac and presto! No more agonising decisions about which UAD plugin I can or can't use because of resource limits and no more tedious bouncing of tracks to save on DSP. Great solution!

Is Satellite useful ?
I've got 2 Satellites now, running with an Apollo 8 and a 710 Pre amp.
There's no overload at all, it's just perfect.
