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.
