Universal Audio UAD-2 LIVE RACK Effects Processing

UAD-2 Live Rack is a robust 16-channel MADI effects processor that allows live sound engineers to craft studio-quality mixes using Realtime UAD Processing and industry-leading UAD plug-ins — right out of the box. Built to withstand the rigors of live sound, users can chain up to four UAD-2 Live Rack units for up to 64 channels of MADI signal processing.

Features:

• Hardware
  • Durable 1U Rack enclosure
  • 4 SHARC DSPs on-board
  • Dual-redundant internal power supplies with failover detection
  • Each UAD‑2 Live Rack unit processes up to 16 channels of a MADI stream
  • Add additional units for 32, 48, or 64 MADI channels
  • Runs a huge library of UAD Powered Plug-Ins & UAD Direct Developer Plug-Ins
  • Dual-Thunderbolt 3 host connectivity
  • One set of MADI optical I/O (64 channels @ 48 kHz)
  • Word Clock I/O (BNC) and input termination
  • Sample Rate support from 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz
  • Clock Support for the following formats: Internal, MADI, Word Clock
• Software
  • Purpose-built UAD‑2 Live Rack application for inserting UAD Powered Plug-Ins
  • Networked integration with select Soundcraft Vi Series consoles – allows full remote snapshot triggering and storing
  • Create, store, and recall channel strip presets
  • Create, store, and recall snapshots
  • Up to eight UAD Powered Plug-Ins per-channel
  • Meter bridge always displays signal levels on all channels
  • Plug-ins are categorized by type for quick assignments
  • Large text and graphics for high visibility in live sound environments
  • SAFE Mode ensures destructive changes do not occur during a live scenario
  • Edit Mode ensures changes can be made as quickly as possible
  • Intuitive drag/drop functionality for copy/paste, navigation, and moving plug-ins between inserts and/or tracks
  • Most functions can be navigated and executed without a mouse (via computer keyboard)
  • Full screen application minimizes visual clutter
  • Delay compensation group channels for maintaining phase alignment (critical for drums)
  • Application and Snapshots can be configured without connected hardware for offline setup and/or sharing with other operators
