Universal Audio Apollo Thunderbolt 3 Option Card

Thunderbolt 3 for Your Apollo!
The Universal Audio Thunderbolt 3 Option Card allows you to connect your Apollo rackmount audio interface directly to a Thunderbolt 3-equipped Mac or PC. This user-installable card features two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports that make daisy-chaining additional Apollos or peripherals a breeze. Your UAD-2 Satellite DSP Accelerators, hard drives, dual 4K monitors, and other peripherals will benefit from blazing-fast speeds of up to 40Gbps. This card also delivers 15 watts of bus power to downstream Thunderbolt devices. If you've got a compatible computer, Sweetwater recommends upgrading your Apollo with the Thunderbolt 3 Option Card.



Thunderbolt 3: ultra-low latency and unrivaled bandwidth
Thunderbolt 3 is one of the most important technologies to impact audio production in years, and UA was one of the first to adopt it. Thanks to its blazing-fast connectivity, Thunderbolt 3 offers speeds twice as fast as Thunderbolt 2 and four times faster than USB 3.1. You get the speed and ultra-fast performance of a PCI Express system — but with the convenience of a single USB Type-C cable. With the Thunderbolt 3 Option Card installed in your Apollo, you'll be able to run projects with high track counts at incredibly low latency.
