SOLO/610 Classic Tube Preamplifier & DI Box
-
The all-tube 610 Console Mic Preamp sound in a rugged, “go anywhere” design.
The SOLO/610 delivers the classic Putnam 610 tube console sound in a portable, highly versatile mic preamp design. It provides the silky, vintage warmth of the original console’s mic amp design, and will flatter and enhance any microphone or instrument with its iconic tones.
Thanks to its convenient form factor, the SOLO/610 can be conveniently used in the control room or the recording room, on stage, or on a desktop. Functionally lean but sonically mean, the SOLO/610 maintains the character of the 610 console — at a price every serious project studio can afford.

Vintage Tones, Modern Workflow
The SOLO/610 offers Mic and DI inputs, and Gain and Level controls for myriad clean or colored sounds. Unlike its predecessors, the SOLO/610 has continuous Gain control with even greater range, allowing for precise gain structuring. The SOLO/610 has all of the essential features of a professional mic pre, including 48v Phantom Power, Lo-Cut filtering, Phase Reverse, and flexible dual impedance selection for both Mic and DI inputs. The SOLO/610 also includes essential DI features like Thru use in conjunction with an amplifier, plus Ground Lift and a versatile Mic/Line level output switch.

Great for everything ! Put my stereo general mic with 2 of these babies in live church Organ and choir concert in natural acoustic. Terrific tool from live recording to studio and live gig on Keys for warmth and an analog touch, on Bass (Woah) , acoustic guitar, voice, amp

I'm trying to find reasons to get this preamp out of my studio. I have a small lair with a couple clones (1176, neve, 1272) and this and an avalon 747. Bass is clean, clear and phat! Vocals sound nice. Butter comes to mind. I'll update this soon as I'm trying to do a lot with it. What I like is how the lo and hi z and lo cut and your gain /level setting can impact the sound you get.

Been using an ISA Two for many years with my Neumann's and AKG's but the UA added exactly what I was craving - brought red wine warmth & richness to everything I put through it. As a DI for my P bass.. it was a stunner. Should have purchased 2 of these years ago.

An amazing addition
This item will do your studio well! It gives your vocal and acoustic recordings. I haven't used it on electric guitar or bass, will soon. Honestly, Universal Audio is the name you can trust in audio. Get it, use it you will not turn back. Thanks UA!

The big difference.
This piece of gear pushed my recordings from the "okay" sound to the "yes" sound. I have two, and I use them as DIs for my synthesizers and drum machine. If you want to record line in, you need a DI to boost the signal and clean it up. Go for one of these tube DIs, you will not regret it. It's a little expensive, but it's a beautiful, handmade piece of art that may last you for many many years.
