Description

★A console-based preamp that will go down in music history★
The definitive American-made, uncompromising vacuum tube personal outboard gear!

The Solo610 is a 1-channel microphone preamp that makes generous use of vacuum tubes.It is portable and very popular among musicians!

The tube preamps from the classic 610 console, created by the late Bill Putnam, are now portable. They retain the silky, rich sound that powered countless classic albums, including those by Van Halen and Sinatra, all in one.

The gain control is now variable, taking into account the modern recording environment where a variety of microphones are used. The control range has been widened, allowing for more precise control. Its portability means it can be used anywhere, including on a desktop, in a control room, in a recording room, or on stage.

It's built to the strictest standards to deliver a sound that's true to its roots. It's handcrafted in the USA at Universal Audio's own facility, using the same exacting manufacturing process as the 610 console.

Reasonably priced yet high-end quality.
The quality of your personal recordings will be dramatically improved.
