really happy with my product it really does stand out above all other plugins and saves on processing power leaving me free to utilise my macs performance as required
S. Swanson
Great but
I am a bit annoyed that I purchased this whilst the offer of free Studer API vision
and variable Mu with purchase pre April
I did this in late March and didn't get to register until very early Aoril
UA did not honour their deal and no response from customer support
Notwithstanding this disappointment the Octo is a must have once you start using a few CPU hungry plugins
I think they should make an Apollo twin octo

UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt OCTO , perfect !
After buying a Apollo Twin Duo and several PlugIns for recording Vocals, Bass and Guitars I knew I want some more : the UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt OCTO is a powerful rig if you want to / have to use lots instances of Reverb ( in my case the Lexicon224 ) .

Happy to add it to my setup.
I lucked out and got mine through a promo I didn't even know about! I just wanted an Apollo and next I know the good people at UA send me this great little piece of gear. It's nothing fancy, but it does exactly what it's supposed to; and without any fuss during set up. It has been a fantastic way to expand my UA arsenal.

Must Have
I have been mixing and mastering for over 40 years. After doing several sessions in ProTools for clients in their studios, I decided to put together a DAW system. Auditioning converters took time; I settled on UA Apollo Quad for several reasons, & The ability to use high quality plug ins,supported by outside resources, made sense. Well ...trackiing went ok, but I found that the lack of DSP horsepower at mixdown to be a major problem. I employed an integration of analog processing to resolve this. The promise of more efficient workflow in DAW processes was then just out of reach. Having now added an Apollo 16 and an additional UAD Quad allThunderbolt. I am realizing the system I had in mind. All is well in Logic Learning Land.

Sweet Satellite Thunderbolt
What can I say, I got this for free as part of their end of year promotion and it has surely added some horsepower to my setup. Plus the look of it sitting on top of my desk not taking up much footprint and with the Universal Audio logo lighting up is sweet. I've got this chained to my Apollo Duo Thunderbolt, and from the Apollo to my LED Monitor, and it all works flawlessly. Awesome product, thanks UA.

So nice.
Easy setup. Only took minutes. This unit will give me the dsp to take my mixes to the next level.

Incredible!
Mix with ease! Great interface, monster processing, great plugins! I'm pairing it up with the Apollo Twin thunderbolt in my home studio.

Power up!
Sold my Quad Firewire to make room for an Octo Thunderbolt. I'll never regret that! The new plugins use a large amount of capacity, so less than octo wouldn't work for me. The upgrade got me some new plugins as well :)

Silent, looks great, reliable. Great addition to my Apollo quad. More digital horsepower providing even more possibilities for emulating high quality gear with character. Many thanks!

UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt
Firstly I was A RME/Focusrite/ProTool hardware supporter for years. They were all good. The difference with UAD is that it's better. Not only IMO that of the sound being captured being better, it's cleaner, authentic and transparent. The additional DSP horsepower you get let's you do a lot more with your workflow. On top of this UAD's plugins are really second to none. Once you use them then you'll know that there really is a difference. Finally, UAD's service is amazing. I personally cannot compare them to the likes of RME/Focusrite/Avid because there is no comparison. I have experienced first hand assistance from UAD's people for various things and as a result unreservedly highly recommend their products and company ethics.

Getting the most out of it
The Satellite, coupled with my Apollo Twin, finally allows me to take full advantage of my UAD system. It took no more than two minutes to set it up – no set back, everything working smoothly. When I authorized the plugins I discovered that the Enhancer Hz was included in the bundle, which was a nice surprise (before purchase I had overlooked this aspect). The Satellite works just as expected, it improves the performance of my workstation allowing me to work at higher sample rates and use (almost) all the plugins that I want without having to worry about running off of DSP power.

Turns a modest setup into a beast studio!!
I didn't know the octo satellite would change my workflow. I knew it would help me be able to use a few extra plugins, but the uad2 octo satellite did way more. First time I plugged it up to my MacBook Pro and started adding the awesome UA plugs my way of working was much better. I started using Universal Audio gear a few months ago and have been very satisfied. First I got the 4710d and it sounded great. Then, when the blackface apollos were introduced I ditched the $&@- rig I've used for years. I added a second quad Apollo. And now with the octo DSP to top it all off, dear god bless UA!! My other outboard gear easily connected to the pair of Apollo's I/O. And The expanded system is super stable and works incredibly well, every time.

Couldn’t Wait To Get My Hands On One
The Quad Satellite put the finishing touch on phase one of my project studio upgrade. I can now comfortably run as many UAD plugins as I want and not have to worry about DSP choke down. The folks at UAD are wonderful at understanding how home studio enthusiasts build out and are super duper accommodating! Cheers to UAD now it’s time get to work.

UAD Thunderbolt Quad Satellite
I Received my Quad Satellite as a promo for purchasing the new Apollo 8 Quad unit back in early December 2015.
I run at 192 KHz and the Satellite has been a godsend in as much as I don not run out of memory or processor power during mixdown.
The UA quality is second to none. There no going back to any other interface, sold my RME and Burl. The A/D/D/A converters are top notch. Great work on UA's part.

Manley Passive's EVERYWHERE
This does exactly what it's supposed to. With the Apollo 8 Quad and Satellite Quad I'm packing some serious processing. Running lots of the DSP intensive plugins at a high sample rate and it's solid as a rock. Couldn't be happier with this setup!
j. fox
simple and effective.
It's great to have the extra UAD Power!
