Overview
Recording and mixing larger sessions is the job of this Thunderbolt interface, which pairs four Unison mic preamps with QUAD Core DSP. UAD plug-ins from Neve, Manley, Avalon and SSL run in real time as you work.
Highest-resolution audio conversion and a mid-sized preamp count suit producers who outgrew a two-input box. Monitor Correction powered by Sonarworks is part of the software list. The limitation is a listing that skips operating systems and a box list.
Who it's for
Producers and artists who track and mix larger sessions with UAD plug-ins. Buyers who need confirmed Windows or Mac support, or a rackmount unit with surround output, should check the details.

Performance notes
QUAD Core DSP runs UAD plug-ins on the interface so the computer does less work during tracking. Unison preamps pair with the plug-ins at the input. Monitor Correction processes the playback path for room response.
