Manuals
Documentation for UAD-2 and Powered Plug-Ins are separated by areas of
functionality, as described below. The user manuals are on the software CD-
ROM, and also placed inside the Powered Plug-Ins Documentation folder on
the hard drive during software installation.
UAD System Manual
The UAD System Manual (PDF only) is the operation manual for overall UAD
functionality and applies to the entire UAD product line. It contains detailed
information about installing and configuring UAD devices, the UAD Meter &
Control Panel application, how to use UAD Powered Plug-Ins within a DAW,
obtaining optional plug-in licenses at the UA online store, and more. It in-
cludes everything about UAD except Apollo-specific information and individ-
ual UAD Powered Plug-In descriptions.
UAD Plug-Ins Manual
The features and functionality of all the individual UAD Powered Plug-Ins are
detailed in the UAD Plug-Ins Manual (PDF only). Refer to this document to
learn about the operation, controls, and interface of each plug-in.
Direct Developers
UAD Powered Plug-Ins includes plug-ins from our Direct Developer partners.
Documentation for these 3rd-party plug-ins are separate files that are written
and provided by the plug-in developers themselves. The filenames for these
plug-ins are the same as the plug-in names.
Installed Locations
The UAD and Direct Developer manual files are copied to the hard drive by

Conventions
UAD Powered Plug-Ins is a cross-platform solution for both Windows and Mac
computers.* The UAD hardware device can be installed into either platform;
it is the exact same hardware for both platforms. Operation of the plug-ins is
practically identical regardless of the host system platform and application.
However, certain platform-specific instructions will differ according to the host
system you are using.
*UAD-2 Satellite and Apollo are Mac only.
