Get Classic Tube and Solid-State Tones with 1176-style Compression and Professional A/D Conversion

By merging the best of UA’s classic analog design with smart modern features and workflow enhancements, the 4-710d is the most flexible microphone preamp in the UA lineup. Featuring four high-end mic/line preamps with a unique tube/solid-state tone blending circuit, as well as classic 1176-style compression on each mic channel, the 4-710d also offers tons of digital I/O to expand your setup.

Bring your Mic Collection to Life with a Wide Range of UA Preamp Tones

At the core of the 4-710d are four channels of tone-blending “Twin-Finity” mic preamps. Each channel offers 100% tube and 100% solid-state signal path, as well as the ability to continuously blend between the two circuits. This gives you tons of textures — from creamy to crunchy — and lets you dial in the perfect amount of tube grit or solid-state sheen.

Fine-tune with Legendary Compression

Each of the 4-710d’s four channels features true-bypass 1176-style compression, including specially tuned "fast" and "slow" settings. This enables quick, on-the-fly tweaking for fattening up a vocal, hold a bass guitar in place, or for adding sizzle and texture to synths and horns.

Add Inputs and Professional A/D Conversion

With eight analog inputs, the 4-710d is perfect for expanding your studio. Digitized via ultra high-quality 24-bit A/D converters at selectable sample rates up to 192 kHz, the 4-710d easily connects to most interfaces with its dual ADAT optical or AES/EBU DB-25 connectors.

What They Say

The 4-710d is a whole racks worth of gear in one small box. Four big-sounding mic pres, four 1176's, eight channels of A/D conversion — big UA warm sound.

The 4-710d is one of the smartest mic preamps around. It’s cleverly designed and fun to use. I love the drive it gives me on drums and guitars.

Jacknife Lee

I've been using the [4-710d] on loads of different sources. It adds a real sense of depth and originality and I love how you can the control the harmonic distortion to fall anywhere between super clean to fuzzy and warm.

    this is my go to dream preamp when recording, Bass, Drums and FET mics. The sound of the classic 710, very rich in harmonics, unbeatable for the price, this is really a worthy and accessible pice of equipment for any professional or home studio.

    Transformer to Tube Bliss

    Among other uses, this unit really shines for me as a DI for my guitar. The Trans to Tube blend knob pushed to the tube side really helped tame that digital bite of my amp sims. Paired with the UAD Marshall Plexi it gets deep sounding.

    Perfect choice for a mobile rig

    I own an Apollo x8, that coupled with this pre, offers an easy way to travel with 16 channels. Just link my API Audio 3124V to the 4-710d and that's it. 4U=16 tracks.

    4-710d offers an incredible pallete through its blend mode (tube/discrete), and the 1176 style compressor is very handy. Definitively very good investiment.
