The UAD-Xpander is the world's first ExpressCard audio digital signal processing expansion system for Mac OS X or Windows Vista laptops. The Xpert gives you an ultra-fast ExpressCard 34 connection (2.5Gbps differential serial link). Displaying the same DSP power as its best-selling siblings the UAD-1 & UAD1e series of desktop products you can mix sessions from 44.1khz to 192k and expand your powered plug-in library without slowing down your computer. While it works at full PCI Express bandwidth it leaves more sluggish USB and FireWire connections to handle dongles audio I/O and hard drives.
