Universal Audio Thunderbolt 3 Option Card for Apollo Rackmount Interfaces
The Universal Audio Thunderbolt 3 Option Card is an expansion card for Apollo rackmount devices. With this option card Universal Audio offers the possibility to equip Apollo rack interfaces with Thunderbolt 3 connectors. Music and audio producers can now use 2x Thunderbolt 3 ports with compatible Mac or Windows systems, which also provide 15W bus power for all downstream Thunderbolt 3 peripherals - perfect for cascading additional Apollo interfaces and UAD 2 Satellite DSP systems, modern storage solutions, 4k monitors and more.
The main features of the Universal Audio Thunderbolt 3 Option Card include:
Ultra High-Bandwidth Connection for Apollo Rackmount Interfaces
2x Thunderbolt 3 USB-C Ports
Thunderbolt 3 (Up to 40Gbps for High Bandwidth Peripherals)
Provides 15W Bus Power to Downstream Thunderbolt Peripherals
System Requirements:
macOS Sierra/High Sierra
Windows 10 w/Fall Creators Update (64-bit Edition)
Finally using Luna and our Apollo’s we can record music without latency and, without concern over buffer size or sample rate settings. This is further enhanced with the Apple M1 chip, allowing a much smoother workflow with 16gig of ram installed, compared to the Intel bottleneck. This card enables me to take my Apollo interface from thunderbolt 2 to 3 by simply removing two screws and changing them over as I did from USB several years ago. Brilliant forward thinking UA. At the current sale price too, great upgrade and better than buying the expensive Apple thunderbolt adapters at £49 each hanging everywhere. Now my Apollo runs at optimum bandwidth.
