General

Universal Audio's Arrow audio interface with high-quality audio conversion and 2 Unison preamps is the world's very first Thunderbolt 3 interface that is compatible with both Windows and Mac! This compact 2x4 audio interface has borrowed its conversion from the immensely popular Apollo series, and is bus-powered, which means it's suitable for mobile recording sessions. The Arrow is powered by a UAD-2 SOLO Core processor, which relieves your computer's processor and offers you access to various highly-acclaimed studio tools like the 610 Tube Preamp, LA-2A and 1176 compressors and an honest-to-goodness Marshall Plexi amp simulation. Lastly, no matter what your buffer settings are, you won't have any latency issues in your DAW while playing or mixing your tracks thanks to the real-time UAD processing.

Universal Audio Arrow Thunderbolt 3 audio interface
Wrote the following about Universal Audio Arrow Thunderbolt 3 audio interface
Mooie compacte interface. De standaard plugins zijn zeker de moeite waard (met name de pulteq eq). Heeft wel maar 1 dsp dus het aantal plugins per project is beperkt.
+ design
+ uad plugins
+ thunderbolt 3
- kabel niet meegeleverd
