UA 610-B
Input Gain
The 5-position rotary Gain switch changes the level at the
tube input stage. The control attenuates the input signal by
–10 or –5 dB, or adds +5 or +10 dB of gain. In the center
“0” position, neither gain nor attenuation is applied.
Input Pad
Additional attenuation for the Mic input is available via the two-position
Pad switch. Setting the switch to the “–15” (up) position attenuates the
Mic signal at the tube input stage by –15 dB. In the down position, no
attenuation is applied.
Note: The 610-B Input Pad is not available for line input.
Output Level Controls
Level Level (aka “the big knob”) is used
to control the gain of the tube out-
put stage of the preamp. Higher
values add more coloration.
The amount of available gain using
this control is approximately 61 dB
for both plug-in models.
Output Output adjusts the signal level at the output of the
plug-in without effecting the sonic character of the
signal. The range is from –
∞ dB (off) to +12 dB.
This control, which does not exist on the original
hardware, facilitates the ability to maximize color of
the overall signal. For example, Gain and Level can be cranked for more dis-
tortion, while lowering Output to normalize levels. This is similar to having the
line output of a 610 plugged into a console and using the console fader to
pad the output of the 610.
Tip: Click the “0” label text above the control to return Output to 0 dB.
