Universal Audio UAD2 Solo Flexi Pak - £579.00
UAD2 boasts up to 10 times the DSP power of UAD1, some very exciting new plug-in partners, and extremely attractive upgrade offers. UAD2 prices start at just £399 inc VAT.
UAD2 comes in 3 different card types - Solo, Duo and Quad (this refers to the number of SHARC processors on the card). Solo has x2.5 the power of UAD1, Duo has x5 the power of UAD1, while Quad has a whopping x10 the power of UAD1.
Each card then has three associated package options: Core, Flexi and Nevana, making a total of 9 possible UAD2 packages.
The Base package provides the basic UA 'Mix Essentials II' plug-in selection (consisting of the 1176SE compressor, CS-1 channel strip, Pultec EQP-1A equaliser and Realverb Pro reverb) plus a $50 plug-in voucher. This is the lowest cost UAD2 option and is ideal for existing UAD1 users who have sufficient plug-ins and just need extra DSP power.
The Flexi package provides the same Mix Essentials II selection plus a $500 plug-in voucher, allowing customers to enjoy extra power and acquire more plug-ins.
Finally, the Nevana packages provide Mix Essentials II plus key UA Neve plug-ins, allowing the user to create his own virtual Neve console of 32, 64 or 128 channels!
