- Apple Mac computer with available Thunderbolt 3 port
- macOS 10.13 High Sierra
- Apple Thunderbolt 3 cable for each UAD-2 Live Rack unit

Notes
- Cables and adapters are not included.
- Thunderbolt 1 or 2 Mac can be used with appropriate adapters and cables.
- Multi-unit setups cannot use duplex (paired) MADI cables.
- UAD-2 Live Rack is compatible with the MADI standard protocol (AES10) via optical SC connections. Although coaxial MADI cannot be connected directly,
UAD-2 Live Rack is expected to operate with any digital audio device with MADI optical I/O using proper converters, cabling and/or adapters (such as the optical I/O of a MADI coaxial converter). - The UAD-2 Live Rack software is fully qualified with 1440 x 900 and higher display resolutions. However, no issues were exposed during our brief tests with the 11" Macbook Air with 1366 x 768 display resolution.
