Description

★Universal Audio / 6176

This vintage-style channel strip combines a tube-equipped 610 mic preamp designed by Bill Putnam Sr. with a classic 1176LN-style compressor. Each preamp can be connected in series or used independently in split mode. The mic preamp section supports a wide range of impedances, and features shelving EQ (high and low) for versatile coloring. Artists like Norah Jones and Coldplay's Chris Martin are particularly fond of the sound of this model. Handmade in the USA.
