Frequently Asked Questions

What are the shipping rates?

We offer free shipping on most items to metro areas in ACT, NSW, VIC, and QLD. If you are in a regional area we do offer great shipping rates, though it is often too expensive for us to offer free shipping. You can calculate shipping costs in the checkout and on item pages with your postcode.
Orders under $50 incur a minimum order fee to cover shipping.

Standard vs Express Shipping

Our shipping platform will automatically determine and display the Express or Standard shipping options that are available to you. If Express is not displaying, you're either located too far away from our store in Canberra, or the Standard shipping option will get it to you just as fast for the same price. Express shipping is 1-5 days, Standard 2-10 days depending on how far you are away from our store in Canberra.

What payment methods do you offer?

We offer secure checkout options like Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Zip Pay and Bank Deposit.
American Express payments are also accepted, although most AmEx transactions will require manual authorization after payment (Someone from the team will contact you to confirm the transaction after checkout)

Discover highest quality plugins by UAD

UA is not just known for its top-tier audio interfaces but also for its high-quality plugins that leverage the power of their audio interfaces’ DSP. These plugins recreate the sounds of iconic hardware units, bringing them into the digital realm. Some of the most renowned plugins crafted by UAD include the sounds of Neve, API, and Teletronix, offering musicians and producers the essence of these legendary units in a digital format.

Universal Audio’s DSP explained

DSP, or Digital Signal Processing, is at the heart of Universal Audio’s audio interfaces. It allows for real-time audio processing, ensuring that there's minimal latency and maximum efficiency. Universal Audio’s DSP is a game-changer because it offloads the audio processing from the computer's CPU to the audio interface itself. This not only ensures smoother performance but also allows for the use of more plugins simultaneously. The power of Universal Audio’s DSP combined with their high-quality plugins offers an audio experience like no other. 

Which UAD Audio Interface is right for me?

Universal Audio offers a range of audio interfaces designed to cater to different needs and setups. At the core, there are two primary types of Universal Audio interfaces: Thunderbolt and USB
