UAD System Manual - 101 - Chapter 11: UAD-2 Satellite
UAD-2 Satellite Operation
After the UAD Powered Plug-Ins software is installed (page 18) and UAD-2
Satellite is properly connected to the computer via FireWire (page 98), the
system is ready for use. Refer to other chapters in this manual for software op-
erating instructions.
All UAD-2 Satellite operations (except for hardware setup) are similar to the
operation of other UAD-2 devices. See “Important UAD-2 Satellite Notes” on
page 103 for exceptions specific to UAD-2 Satellite.
About FireWire For general information about FireWire and how it is used with UAD-2 Satel-
lite and other FireWire devices, see “FireWire Basics” on page 105 and
“FireWire Bandwidth” on page 109.
It is important to note that available FireWire bandwidth is unrelated to UAD
DSP loads. See “FireWire Bandwidth vs. UAD DSP” on page 111 for details.
Power Indicator When power is applied to UAD-2 Satellite via the rear switch, the UA logo on
the front panel glows. This power indicator does not represent the state of the
UAD drivers or their link to UAD-2 Satellite (the Rear Panel LED indicates the
operational state).
Rear Panel LED UAD-2 Satellite has a UAD link indicator on the rear panel. This LED provides
information about the operational state of the device and its drivers. For more
details, see “UAD-2 LED” on page 26.
