Hello friends,
Thank you for checking out our Weekly blog.
In this blog I will be discussing UAD’s Cooper® Time Cube Mk II plug-in.

A little history
Universal Audio COOPER TIME CUBE model no. 920-16 was created in 1971 as a delay effect to be used in motion picture and recording studio applications. It's design is based around two engines of delay measuring at 16ms and the 14ms. The unit is compact and very rugged and heavy. It also has very low distortion (70 db signal to noise ratio).
Designed by Dr. Dwane H. Cooper of university of Illinois, it consisted of a rugged gray box measuring 24 inches in height and 24 inches in width. This box contained two coiled acoustical delay lines and the attached transducers, a power supply, four Universal Audio 1109 card type amplifiers, an EQ network, it's meter and operating controls, and to stand microphone cables for connecting the chassis to the box.
This monster of a an affect weighed in at a whopping 62 pounds! It was considered by many to be one of the most unique delays ever made. A used original time Cube unit can be found on the used market for anywhere between $2000-$2500.
