From Our Research Team:

8 Brand-New Channels of Universal Audio Quality!

Universal Audio introduces their 8110 Precision 8-channel microphone preamplifier. The 8110 features a brand-new Class A, all discrete design with dual-stage level controls and unique 3-way "Shape" switching on every channel for a wide and versatile tone palette.

UA is well known for classics and vintage recreations, but the 8110 is a brand new design, developed and road-tested in the studio just like the historical UA solid-state 1108 and 1109 units. The precision "110" series was designed to stand alone with its unique sonic character and tonal flexibility to go from ultra-clean and transparent, to warm and "crunchy" via special front-panel switchable transformer loading or "Shape" control.

Universal Audio 8110 "Shape" switching modes are:
  • Modern: Ultra-clean, transparent, maximum headroom
  • Vintage: Transformer-loaded with harmonic enhancement
  • Saturate: Transformer-loaded with soft limiting and transient smoothing


Universal Audio 8110 Features:
  • All discrete Class A, transformer input, DC-coupled output, 80dB gain
  • 3-way "SHAPE" switch: Modern/Vintage/Saturate
  • Dual-stage level controls for maximum harmonic flexibility
  • Lightning-fast transients, wide-bandwidth, high-headroom, low-noise
  • Mic and line XLR inputs and XLR Line outputs
  • Selectable microphone and DI input impedance
  • Switchable per-channel phantom power, mic pad, low-cut filter, and phase
  • Stunning dual-textured all-anodized black front panel, with blue illuminated switches and multi-segment, multi-color LED level metering

A Must For Any Studio

by Mike West from El Paso, TX , Seattle, WA USA
August 27, 2009
Music Background: Recording Engineer, Producer, Pro Musician
WOW!!!! This set of pre amps just like its little brother the 4110 are stunning. They produce such a full rich sound that can either push the envelope of sounding vintage as well as super solid state.... read more [+] They have 3 input transformer settings with the last setting having a limiter that sounds fantastic on drums. The middle switch is for a more vintage sound and the first super clean. These are amazing on drums as well as vocals and all electric guitars... The bass sounds full and clean through the instrument input... everything I run through this sounds amazing and sits well in the mix. I have used it recording Jim Ward from (At The Drive in, Sleepercar, Sparta) As well as several other major label acts... Everyone has been impressed with this piece of gear. Go buy these pre amps now you wont regret it. close [-]
