LA-610 MkII Classic Tube Recording Channel, Universal AudioThe LA-610 defined the affordable, ultimate vintage tone channel strip.
So how can UA improve on tonal perfection in what was already a hit
product? Enter the sequel... LA-610 Mk II, a second-generation revamp
of the original 2005 LA-610 design. While the preamp and compressor are
identical to the original LA-610 that users have come to know and love,
user-requested features such as true compressor bypass, larger
metering, improved output signal, an auto-sensing power supply have
been added bringing the end user an enhanced user experience. The
LA-610 Mk II also features the highly popular "black on black"
cosmetics of the LA-610 Signature Edition.
Features- Based on Legendary Bill Putnam 610 Tube Mic Pre and EQ Used on Countless Classic Recordings
- Authentic Teletronix LA-2A-style T4 Opto-CompressorComplete vintage channel-strip at groundbreaking price within project studio reach
- Mic Pre with Gain and Level controls, variable impedance switching, and Instrument DI for recording tone "color"
- Mk II Features such as True Bypass, Larger Metering and Improved Signal Output
- UA build quality and heritage, audiophile components, hand-assembled in the USA
The
LA-610 Mk II packs tremendous sonic versatility and is an ideal
front-end for tracking with modern DAW's and the serious project studio
looking to get the UA sonic experience: Real quality and character at
an accessible price. The LA-610 Mk II is based on the legendary console
modules developed by Bill Putnam in the 60's. Noted for their musical
character and warmth, countless classics from Sinatra to Van Halen have
been recorded using these preamps.
After the preamp section,
the LA-610 Mk II offers the T4 optical compressor. The simple operation
and program dependent nature of the LA-610 T4 compressor provides the
same extremely musical control that has made the LA-2A such a
well-loved classic for over 40 years. The electro-optical detector or
"T4 cell" is the very heart and soul of the Teletronix LA-2A. The
unique combination of electroluminescent panel and photo-resistors
inside the T4 cell are the crucial circuit components that give both
compressors their signature sound.
