UA 610-B
The high frequency (“HI”) shelf EQ has a selectable cutoff fre-
quency which can be cut or boosted by various amounts.
Hi EQ Frequency
This switch determines the cutoff frequency (4.5 kHz, 7 kHz,
or 10 kHz) of the high shelf EQ. This switch has no effect if the
Hi EQ Gain value is zero.
Note: Like the hardware, high frequency values are not consecutively or-
dered.
Hi EQ Gain
This rotary switch determines the amount of boost or cut applied to the high
frequency signal. Fixed values of plus or minus 9, 6, 4.5, 3, or 1.5 dB can be
selected. When set to 0 dB, the filter is inactive.
Polarity This switch inverts the polarity (“phase”) of the signal. The signal
polarity is inverted when the switch is in the up position. Polarity
is normal when the switch is in the down position. Polarity inver-
sion can help reduce phase cancellations when more than one microphone is
used to record a single source.
Power Power is the plug-in bypass control. When
set to OFF, emulation processing is disabled
and DSP usage is reduced (if DSP LoadLock is inactive).
Power is useful for comparing the processed settings to the original signal.
610 History
Creating an original 610 desk meant buying the individual modules and
building the console from scratch, as no complete consoles were ever sold
commercially. However, Bill Putnam himself built a few full-fledged desks for
his own studios, complete with fabricated frame, power supply, metering,
and buss/effects routing options.
Although very few desks were built from 610 modules, their contribution to
the history of recorded music is enormous. Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and
The Beach Boys were a few artists captured with the 610 at United/Western
as part of landmark recordings such as “Sounds in Country and Western Mu-
sic,” “Strangers In The Night,” and “Pet Sounds,” respectively.
