CHAPTER 51
UA 610 Tube Preamp & EQ Collection
Historical to Modern Tube Amplification from Universal Audio
The Universal Audio 610-A Modular Amplifier was designed by audio renais-
sance man and UA founder M.T. “Bill” Putnam, and set a major milestone in
console design. An all tube and transformer class-A design with feedback
style EQ, the 610-A was the first preamp design to include echo sends and
modularity which allowed channels to be swapped mid-recording session.
The 610-B is the current Universal Audio design employed in the popular
modern equivalents such as the Universal Audio 2-610 and 6176. The sheer
number of classic recordings made by the 610, new or old, is staggering.
From Coldplay to Cold War Kids, and Duke Ellington to The Doors, the 610
has been part of the fabric of modern recording since 1958.
With over a year in research and design, the UA 610 Preamp and EQ Col-
lection represents the next major milestone in the evolution of Universal Au-
dio’s 610, and for preamplification as a whole. For the first time, the UA 610
Preamplifier and EQ Collection plug-ins offer the complete sound, behavior
and features of a dedicated tube preamp.
