About the UAD DSP Card
At the heart of every UAD
DSP Card & Powered Plug-Ins
package is the revolutionary UAD DSP card. Because of its high
resolution, floating-point processing, ultra high-speed memory and
hardware dithering, the UAD delivers outstanding high-headroom sound
quality at sample rates from 32 to 192khz. Unlike other DSP cards, the
UAD uses a single, unpartitioned vector processor, allowing for larger
and more sophisticated plug-in algorithms offering a new level of power
and complexity not found with host-based plug-ins. By greatly reducing
the burden on the computer's CPU, the host application can now deliver
more tracks, automation and native effects.
