Works like a charm!
Yeah, I couldn't help myself. I saw my Firewire Satellite on a second hand market for $100. Currently running it on my 2012 MiniMac just fine along side my Apollo 8. But get this, it even worked on my newer computer too! Though, it needed a bunch of adapters to make it work (Firewire 400 >Firewire 800>Thunderbolt2>Thunderbolt3). The only issue I ran into (and it took a while to sort this out) the unit had to run from the Firewire 400 output, and not the 800, to make the connection to the Thunderbolts. And registration was a breeze. Super happy camper!

Useless in 2024
Very old hardware for old computers. Weird thatthey still sell it

Amazing gear…for obsolete OS
It’s amazing how well it performs with all the plugins load that I use in my projects. Unfortunately for UAD it’s so hard and complicated to develop new FireWire drivers for newer macOS, so if you’re planning buying one just consider use it for macOS Catalina.

Seamless Integration with USB Apollo Twin for Enhanced DSP Power
The UAD-2 Satellite FireWire is a versatile DSP accelerator that seamlessly integrates with systems using a PCIe FireWire card, making it suitable for both older and modern PCs. Its compatibility extends to working efficiently in combination with a USB Apollo Twin interface, allowing users to expand their processing capabilities significantly. I've successfully combined a USB Apollo Twin with two UAD-2 Satellite FireWire units, enhancing my setup with a robust DSP boost while accessing UAD's comprehensive library of analog emulation plugins. This setup is ideal for project studios and mobile rigs, offering high-quality sound and reliable performance across various audio projects.

parfait pour mon système ancien en firewire !
Il est fort dommage que le système firewire soit abandonné par apple ...

Great until I upgraded MacOS
The Satellite has been perfect until I had to upgrade my MacOS to Ventura. Then I lost access to all my UA Plugins. Why? Because UA have withdrawn firewire support from Catalina onwards. The Satellite, which cost 500 UK pounds, is now redundant, and access to my UA plugins no longer possible. Not happy.

Product Good Customer Service Terrible
I bought this thinking it was coming with plugins. I already have the base package they were giving with this. So i asked for the chance to pick a couple i didnt have and was told that wasnt a option.

Strange...
UAD plugin have a great sound. But...
I have a native UAD plugin and the same in satellite set.
I don't understand why in cubase Pro 13 (Windows 11),
The native LA-2A silver loaded with 2.0 ms of latency
The Satellite LA-2A silver loaded with 25.9 ms of latence...

CAT - Una segona vida al meu Mac // ESP - Una segunda vida a mi Mac
CAT - Tinc un Macbook Pro del 2015 que no pot suportar el workflow del Logic Pro. Gràcies a aquesta unitat Satellite he aconseguit dues coses, millorar l’experiència de produir i aconseguir una qualitat en el so que fins ara no tenia.

This is my second Satellite…
… easy to install and immediately doubled the Sat’s CPU capacity for more plugins usage and a big improvement of my mixes !! Love it…

mesmo em 2023 ainda vale a pena se voce tiver entrada fireware na sua maquina.
já tinha uma UAD-QUAD e acabei comprando outra e ligando as duas em serie folgou o meu sistema demasiadamente e me deu possibilidade de pendurar diversos plugins sem ter prblemas com DSP

Most Excellent!
This is my second FireWire Satellite and a great way to add 4 more cores to my system. Highly recommend!

I want to be able to continue use of my UAD-2 Satellite FireWire with the latest versions of MacOs
I love your plugins however I want to be able to use my UAD-2 Satellite FireWire which is no longer supported by the latest versions of Universal Audio drivers. Surely this is something that can be tweek within the drivers so the life of the UAD-2 Satellite FireWire can continue to be used along side all of my UAD plug-ins that are not yet usable with UA Connect.

This is simply a disgrace
How can UAD sell Firewire hardware when it's no longer supported by the latest versions of MacOs and by Universal Audio in their latest versions of UAD drivers???
Isn't this a real problem of ethics and deontology?
Tell me if I've missed anything, but this is simply a disgrace.
