SOLO/610 DESCRIPTION
 
An All-tube Preamp/DI with Great Universal Audio Sound!
The SOLO/610 mic preamp/DI box from Universal Audio brings the best of their preamp designs to a single-channel format. The SOLO series features the solid build and audiophile components that define UA quality. It uses a portable form factor for convenient use in the control room or recording room, stage or desktop. The all-tube SOLO/610 provides characteristic warmth.

Universal Audio SOLO/610 Mic Preamp/DI Box at a Glance:
  • Classic Putnam Sound
  • Flexible sonic options


Classic Putnam Sound
The SOLO/610 delivers the classic Putnam 610 console sound to the single channel format in a rugged, highly versatile form factor, at a price every project studio can afford. Unlike stationary rack gear, the SOLO/610 can be conveniently used in the control room or recording room, on stage or desktop, due to its portable "go anywhere" design. Functionally lean but sonically mean, the SOLO/610 was carefully created to maintain all of the character of its vintage predecessor, and has the same solid build and audiophile components professionals expect from its more expensive UA siblings like the 2-610 and M610.

Flexible sonic options
Unlike its predecessors, the SOLO/610 has continuous Gain control with even greater range, allowing for more precise gain structuring and doubles as input signal padding. The SOLO/610 has all the essential features and maintains the 610's flexible dual impedance selection for both Mic and DI inputs. The SOLO/610 also includes DI features like Thru plus Ground Lift and a versatile Line/Mic level output switch. The SOLO/610 is hand-assembled by Universal Audio in the USA.

Universal Audio SOLO/610 Mic Preamp/DI Box Features:
  • In: 1 x XLR, 1 x DI
  • All-tube preamp circuitry
  • Classic Putnam 610 console Mic Preamplifier and DI
  • Legendary all-tube sound finally at project studio price

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "I've owned a SOLO/610 for years now and there's nothing else at this price point that offers the amount of vintage sound and detail that the 610 pre does, I use it first as my go-to tube pre on vocals, however many people (myself included) also use the DI for bass, keyboards, and guitar. I've even used the 610 as a DI live several times because nothing else seemed to get me the warm sound I wanted for bass."
