An Update of A Universal Audio Classic!

Universal Audio has a new, updated version of the 2-610, the extremely popular stereo tube mic preamp, dubbed the 2-610S.In addition to a spiffy new, silver-face look, which matches the rest of the UA 610 line, the 2-610S stereo mic pre has been improved with all of coolest features UA has brought to the 610 design series. The 2-610S brings the same great signature sound that Universal Audio customers have grown to love.

Popular new features like a -15dB input pad maximize the usefulness of your 2-610S with your entire microphone collection. The 2-610S also includes circuit upgrades which improve frequency response and gives the 2-610S the same open sound as its channel strip cousins, the 6176 and LA-610.

Universal Audio 2-610S Features:
  • Classic sound of legendary 610 modular console
  • Mic, line, and hi-Z inputs
  • Variable input gain and output levels
  • -15dB pad, phase reverse, and two bands of shelving EQ
  • Multiple impedance settings

I use this on pretty much everything I can. Even after mixdown, I route everything back through it. These units are hand built with love, and it shows.

I've been recording and engineering in various studio environments for the last 25 years, following in the footsteps of my father. I've seen and used a lot of equipment... and even tripped over it as ... read more [+]a kid during the disco era. Writing reviews is not my thing, but this preamp calls for it. I've been using it for 5 years now (gray face version) and I find myself running EVERYTHING through it. It doesn't matter what other preamps are available... which seemingly are only used for rack decoration. I don't pay attention to specs, hype, or how many cup holders it has. It's the ease of use when you're working really fast and trying to capture the inspiration. The sound... it gets you where you want to be, in that sweet spot, consistently. Can you do that with some gear half this cost? Certainly, don't believe in all the hype, believe in your knowledge. But it's more than that. It's a solid long lasting piece of equipment. It'll be working hard for you 50+ years from now. Might need some new tubes and contact cleaner by then. close [-]
