Universal Audio UAD2-SOLO-LAPTOP

The UAD-2 Solo/Laptop brings UA's incredible UAD-2 DSP plug-in processing power to your laptop. Just plug the DSP card into your laptop's ExpressCard slot and get to work with top plug-ins - it can handle up to 32 channels of UA's Neve 88RS channel strip plug-in, 2.5 times the power of UA's already-groundbreaking UAD-1 cards. The SHARC chips boast 32-bit, floating-point architecture, for the ultimate in precision and performance. The UAD-2 Solo/Laptop comes with a $50 plug-in voucher in addition to a suite of powered plug-ins.

The UAD-2 Solo/Laptop ExpressCard lets you tap into Universal Audio's DSP plug-in processing power, anywhere you happen to be. The UAD-2 Solo/Laptop fits into your shirt pocket and requires no additional cables or external power supply. If you have a desktop rig in your studio, but sometimes want to mix on the road, then this mighty little card is for you. Just pair it with Universal Audio's UAD-Xtenda - it's a PCIe card to ExpressCard adapter. With it, you can slip the UAD-2 Solo/Laptop into the UAD-Xtenda when you're docked in the studio, then pull it out when you're ready to go mobile.

With the Universal Audio UAD-2 Solo/Laptop ExpressCard, you get Universal Audio's "Mix Essentials II" plug-in package, so you can get to work with studio staple tools straight out of the box. The package includes such titles as the UA 1176SE Compressor/Limiter, the Pultec EQP-1A Program Equalizer, the RealVerb Pro Room Modeler, and the CS-1 Channel Strip. Plus, you also get the Mellowmuse ATA tool for Auto-delay Compensation within Pro Tools LE - very cool. Just insert it on your master fader, let it "ping" your signal paths, and you'll be ready to go - no more frustrating tweaks and calculations.

In addition to the tremendous plug-in package included with the UAD-2 Solo/Laptop, you get a $50 plug-in voucher that you can use toward any of Universal Audio's world-class plug-ins. Recognized as an industry leader in creating dead-on models of the most sought-after vintage gear, Universal Audio offers affordably priced plug-in versions of everything from a Neve channel strip to a Fairchild compressor to the Roland Space Echo - and far, far beyond.
